Healing Herb Pathway

We thought that it might be good for people to have access to the written material from the healing herb pathway, so have attached the writing here as various jpg files. IMBOLC ~ SPRING And Copies of Prayers on the Washing Line: CALON HAF ~ SUMMER LAMMAS ~ AUTUMN SAMHAIN ~ WINTER MIND BODY SPIRIT …

Opening ritual at The Grove #gb40

Well its arrived and welcome to anyone who has joined The Grove, passed by with curiosity or scanned our QR code just because you could! The circle is more beautiful that we could imagine, thanks to the wonderful collective of forest churchers, foragers, nChanters and barnonians. We are especially proud of our healing herb pathway …

Imbolc Celebrations

This afternoon we celebrated Imbolc/ Candlemass/ St Brigid's Day together, including a large tribe of children, so I thought I'd put the sheet (that gave us the rough gist of a plan) up on here. Spring & fire & candles & food & fun 🙂 Imbolc 2013

Most of all it's an opportunity to get together and plan for this term. We shall certainly do some more of the regular events: …

Wheel of the Year

R brought along her Calender that she'd ordered from here: Mystic Christ: Wheel of Year Calender Very Beautiful and lots of ideas for future celebrations. Plenty of food for meditation on the website/ facebook page also. I particularly appreciated the advice for wet gray days, to go outside to a woodland and smell the damp …

Samhain Ritual 2011

This year's ritual is different to last year, mostly because it was also drawing in the elements of the scapegoat study that we've been doing. I've put it below, if anyone wants to borrow ideas - most of it already comes from other sources (which I've tried to put in brackets after each relevant section) …
