Workshops

Workshops are free, but there may be a small charge for materials.

Drumming - Bill

Re-wilding the Soul - Tan Harvey
Manifesto for Re-wilding the Soul – Talk/Workshop
We are an intrinsic part of nature; therefore if we say that we have lost our connection with nature then we have lost the connection with ourselves.
The Oran More – Frank Mills 1998:
“Quiet – Eternal Quiet: – Not even the sound of the restless, stirring, dark waters could be heard.
Then, a great spiralling strain of Melody moved across the endless waters.
Subdued at first, then quickly gathering momentum until it reached a great crescendo.
And, then, there was Life!
But the Melody did not stop. It continued its song, filling all of Creation with its divine harmony.
And so it continues today, for all those who listen.”
The ‘Melody’ – the ‘Song’ this is the life-force energy flowing throughout all of creation, continuously, including US – listen, hear it, re-connect - the raw, wild energy of nature and our souls.

Incense - Tan Harvey
Our olfactory system (our sense of smell) is the quickest way to our brains; a smell is the one of the most powerful things for triggering memories or feelings, altering mood, healing and much more.
Incense-sticks provide us with a natural way to achieve this – or do they? Mass production & unscrupulous manufacturers mean that in many the incense is glued to the stick (did you want to glue sniff?) or at worst are only coloured sawdust with chemical scents added.
Learn how to work with raw natural resins, herbs and woods to blend your own unique totally natural incenses, purpose made and lots of fun to do.

Yarn Mandalas - Gill

Power Animal 1  - Cherill
Journey to meet and greet your current animal spirit guide.

Your Body as a Magickal Tool - Gail
The only tool that a witch needs is her/his own body. Your body is not mundane! It is more powerful than other witches tools because it is animated with the actual power of life. Through discussions and practice, we will explore the power inherent in our own body, and how to utilize it as a tool in your personal witchcraft practice to enhance your magickal abilities.
Gail McHugh is the founder and High Priestess of Horn and Cauldron, Church of the Earth, a Rhode Island based eclectic Wiccan teaching coven. Gail was ordained in the Spiral Tree Grove Tradition, and serves as an elder in that tradition. Gail has had extensive prior experience with Pagan spirituality in both solitary and group settings.



Rites of Passage - Gail & Darrell
Our Journey through life is a succession of stages or passages from beginning to end. As Pagans and Witches, we incorporate many of these stages into our lives to recognise as personal Rites of Passage. This workshop will be an open discussion on the various rites of passages we celebrate as Pagans, as well as living each day as a rite of passage.



Jamaican-born Darrell Moore is a legally ordained clergy, and a High Priest of Horn and Cauldron, Church of the Earth.
