Beautiful Labyrinth and Ceremonies at Woodford Folk Festival

Once again the Sacred Union Labyrinth at Woodford Folk Festival was magnificent and loved and appreciated by thousands of people over the 6 day festival.

Robin and her troupe of 14 instillation artists, 7 Ceremony holders, 8 musicians and performers plus 2 sound technicians and 2 stage managers provided by the festival created the best ever Labyrinth and surrounds, enhanced by powerfully held, exquisite ceremonies with delightful music by The Sacred Union Labyrinth Band.

Other performances and acts graced the space and featured Andy Copeman and his MedicineManMusic, Heather Price and her Healing with the Drum Journeys, Malcolm Fielding’s minstrelling and Rob Clark as Djuelu the Village Scribe, capturing words of wisdom and essence for participants of the Ceremonies.

Here’s the link to our FaaceBook page if you’d like to like us and see what we’re up to.

Stay tuned for The Sacred Union Labyrinth at The Planting Festival which will include split bamboo and banana fibre weaving workshop to enhance the surrounds of the Labyrinth and provide garden and bushcraft skills to patrons.

‘Being Woman…’ Gathering in March. A Unique Opportunity for Women.

The annual Being Woman… gathering is fast approaching with a juicy theme this year –  Nurturing Your True Nature…..Stepping into our Woman’s Way and the workshops will be centred around this theme.

This year’s gathering again offers a wonderful range of facilitators and workshops for you to discover and explore the divine feminine source inside you in a way that enhances your self-awareness, relationships and life purpose.

There will also be sacred ceremonies to open and close the gathering as well as entertainment on Saturday and Sunday nights. Be true and authentic to who you are and learn to keep your heart open as you celebrate, dance, weave, relax and enjoy the gathering. Robin’s workshop this year will be called – Pathway to Freedom. She’ll also be involved in the Ceremony team again with our Aunties and other wonderful wise women.

Tickets are available here.

2019 Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning Dates Announced for February

dynamic groups coursesRobin’s decision this year to run her annual ‘Dynamic Groups’ training at Crystal Waters EcoVillage much earlier in the year turned out to be a popular choice with participants.

In light of this the course for 2019 will be in February from 17th to 22nd.

It promises to be a great course and there are still a few places so best to jump in and confirm before the ‘Silly Season’ arrives.

 

The Joining Gathering – A new Retreat Feel for September 2019

Both Robin and her partner Rob attended the annual Joining Gathering in September.

Robin facilitated a powerful and transformative workshop entitled ‘Supporting Each Other to Shine’         and was able to contribute in a much lesser way than usual in the Ceremonies having mentored and guided other younger people to lead the Ceremonies, and lead they did so brilliantly. Both Robin and Rob were on the panel discussion about ‘Relationship’.

A highlight of the event was Rob and Robin stepping up together in the Closing Ceremony to hold the energy of Staff and Basket holder for the next gathering. This means they care for the sacred objects that symbolize the Masculine and Feminine and together with a big circle of other wonderful people, organize the next ‘Joining’ for 2019 on the Spring Equinox weekend, held over 3 days.

The venue and exact dates will be announced very soon for ‘The Joining Retreat 2019’ 

Here’s a photo of the beautiful Basket and Staff that are symbols of the Masculine and Feminine Energies.
