Priestess of Avalon
with Priestesses of Avalon Kathryn Crowther and Patricia Sutherland
Starts 31st October 2026
In ancient times the role of a Priestess or Priest of the Goddess was recognized as a Sacred Calling, a life lived in service to Goddess within one of Her Sacred Temples, found all around the world in many different cultures. The majority of those Goddess Temples were destroyed when patriarchal forces took over the world thousands of years ago.
Thankfully Goddess is returning to our awareness. She is once again being recognised as Divine Source and Great Mother of All. Many women and some men are beginning to re-member and re-claim an ancient path of devotion and service to Goddess. Communities and Temples of Goddess are being built anew in Her world, allowing people to come together to learn who Goddess is, to celebrate Her, to recreate Her Sacred Sanctuaries and to experience Her wonderful loving nature.

Women’s Ritual Dances
with Laura Shannon
Traditional Women’s Circle Dances from Greece, the Balkans and Armenia
27th – 28th February 2027
Women of rural Eastern Europe have preserved their ritual circle dances into the present day, continuing a living lineage of authentic priestess traditions. The roots of these dances go back thousands of years to indigenous Old Europe, embodying a pre-patriarchal worldview of reverence for Mother Earth and the Goddess. The dances strengthen community, heal trauma, and celebrate life, within a culture of peace.
As we dance, by bringing our awareness to the symbols encoded within the steps and patterns, we can decipher the hidden wisdom of the grandmothers and receive the gifts they offer to women today.
Silver Spiral Training

During this course you will learn how to read and embody your own birth chart, and that of others. Through discussion, meditation and ceremony you will discover how to understand and embody the 12 divine feminine archetypes of the Astrological wheel and apply your understanding in practical ways. You will receive written files, techniques and resources that you will be able to refer to as needed.
Soul Healing
Intensive Healing Training Course, with Karin Persons
Starts 21st May 2027
Soul Healing is a subtle and powerful form of energetic healing, that works with the energies of the whole person, with the physical and energetic bodies, the emotions, thoughts, personality and soul, to help bring us back from the state of dis-ease to a state of ease and well-being.
The word Healing is used in the sense of ‘making whole’, of redressing imbalances that have built up in the emotions, mind and body. Soul is that part of us which is eternal, invisible, spiritual and filled with universal love, which connects us to each other, to the divine and all life.
