Once Upon a Time………There Was a Magical Journey into the Realms of Fairy Tales 

             With Mark Loman and Rick and Sheila Blackwell

Our five-day intensive shamanic retreat will be held at the Earth Spirit Centre in Somerset, UK. The centre is just five miles from Glastonbury, on the edge of Compton Dundon village in Somerset, Earth Spirit lies within the 'temenos' (sacred enclosure) of Avalon.

The centre is situated in a beautiful landscape between two nature reserves; and is set within seven acres of fields and gardens, including a druidic tree circle. The seventeenth century farm buildings have been restored and specially converted for use as a venue.

Our experiential five-day Shamanic Residential offers the possibility of completely immersing yourself in the teachings, as well as the collective ‘energy field’ of the group. Away from the distractions and busyness of life, your potential for transformation is exponentially increased. The atmosphere is one of seclusion, timelessness, and magic.

Journey into the mysteries with a heart-centred group of fellow travellers.

The prices for attending the course retreat includes teaching fees, shared accommodation, full board, meals are catered by Earth Spirit’s in-house chefs providing healthy vegetarian meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included in the cost. Special diets (vegan, gluten free) and allergy free requirements can be accommodated at an additional cost. Hot drinks and light snacks are always available and included in the package. 

Each person is responsible for their own travel arrangements and expenses.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Join us as we Dance through the Dark Woods for a journey of discovery that is full of Myth, Magic and Mystery.

Shamanic cultures around the world say that the true guru is the child within us and not the adult. This course will be our collective journey to re-connect with that lost part of us and to hear that voice. 

On this magical journey we will explore how Fairy Tales serve as mirrors reflecting our collective consciousness, offering insights into our deepest fears, aspirations, and moral dilemmas. By listening to the whispers of symbolism found within these tales, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, about morality, sexuality, spirituality and society. Classic tales such as Grimm’s Snow White contain metaphorical and symbolic power that go beyond the boundaries of the personal-self and into transpersonal/collective growth. The enduring magic of these enchanting stories holds great potential power that can reshape our world, re-kindle our imagination and change the stories we tell ourselves. 

Dancing through the Dark Woods is an exhilarating and magical journey which will support you to step fully into the beautiful being that you truly are………May we all live Happily Ever After!
Lift the veil to hidden and mystical worlds and experience a week of enchantment and magic to connect you to what truly lights you up. With shamanic journeys, ceremony, ritual, crafting, breathwork, shadow work, movement, and SO much more…
