Scotland is synonymous with romanticism, mystery and magic. She is also a land whose spiritual traditions are largely forgotten, her ancient chain of mythic heritage severed.
Yet her stories speak of a wolf-riding crone who shaped mountains and islands with her hammer. Of a dream-steeped trickster who reshaped the seas with the tongue of a snake.
A short sail to the west lies Ireland, where monks recorded myths even as they warped them, and where the names of the gods still rode the tongues of storytellers. And to the north-east lies Scandinavia, whose longships brought piracy, then settlement, then a mixing of mythologies to these lands.
On this retreat we will gather round fires, at the loch’s edge and in the shadow of mountains to immerse ourselves in the lore of Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia. These stories are our sacred heritage, our gateway to the gods of our ancestors.
Beneath waterfalls, on hilltops and at the rising of the sun, we will make ceremony together, answering that bone-deep urge to reach out and entwine with a living, breathing, ensouled world.
This is a co-creative journey. We will invite and support you to claim your own unique way of relating, being, knowing.
To create your own spontaneous ceremonies. To write your own prayers and sing them to the mountain. To tell the stories that claim you, whether your listeners are humans or trees or frogs.
To be utterly open to what Fionn Mac Cumhaill calls ‘The music of what is happening now’.
