​PRAYER ARROW AND DEDICATION CEREMONY - New dates for 2025 coming son!

​

A prayer arrow is a physical manifestation of the visions, guidance, and dreams you wish to come into your life. It is something you craft with your own hands imbuing it with your heart and soul. No two arrows have ever been alike, so let your imagination fly free in it’s creation. Our intentions are wrapped around our Prayer Arrow, this could be a goal, passion, or offering of gratitude, for ourselves, for others, or for humanity.
The day will include elements of Shamanic work and end with a dedication ceremony and drumming! (Please bring drum / rattle if you have them but we have spares for those without)

Taken from the indigenous traditions of Mexico, we describe the act of making our arrows as “a direct communication of heart and spirit, conveyed to the higher powers of Nature.” In other words, a straight-up tool for magical manifestation – and just perfect for the days right before the summer festival of Litha/ Summer Solstice!

The cost of this 1 day workshop is £80 per person which includes all materials.

Manifesting with Candle Magic is a workshop designed to teach you how to use the power of colour, plant energies and your thoughts to achieve your goals and manifest your desires. 

Candle magic harnesses the power of the elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit), and helps you release clear intentions to the Universe so you can attract what you want in life. It’s a simple, effective form of folk magic that’s been used throughout the world for centuries. 

In this workshop you’ll learn how to create your own magic candle made specifically for your needs that you can burn at home. 

You’ll learn how to choose the right colour of candle, what symbols to carve into it, and what oils and herbs to anoint the candle with in order to achieve your goals. You’ll also learn how to create sacred space at home for your candle magic ritual and what to do after you burn your candle to ensure you get results. 

Along with your prepared candle, you’ll also receive handouts outlining the steps we covered in class, candle colour correspondences, and spell timing so you can create your own magic at home. 

Candle Magic and Manifestation is a physical manifestation of your, visions, dreams and goals that you wish to attract into your life. Our intentions are placed within the candle during a simple ritual/ ceremony, these intentions could be for ourselves, for others or for humanity.

This fun but meaningful event will be led by Rick and Sheila Blackwell, who are Shamanic Practitioners and founders of Spirit of the Sacred Drum. Join us as we bring years of practical energy and shamanic work together in this fun, purposeful workshop.

Love and Harmony
Sheila & Rick

There was a time when mankind was primitive, a time when the sun was an object of worship and human beings were in sync with the earth. In these ancient days, the indigenous people didn't only use language or drawings to express themselves - they used dance. The old, shamanic ritual of uninhibited movement as a means to heal and energize rears its modern day as 'Shamanic Soul Dance' and is not to be underestimated.

Shamanic Soul-Dance is a deeply healing dance practice. It's a form of nourishment for your true self - for your soul. Moving freely (no 'set steps') to music created to resonate with your soul, you are guided into your own inner dance of release and re-connection. It offers a special kind of liberation - people say it feels like "coming home". 
This movement mediation uses music, rhythm, trance dance and breath to take you on a journey deep inside, moving beyond the thinking mind and into your body. Releasing stuck energy and letting go of any unwanted emotional baggage, rising up to ecstatic bliss to your true self followed by relaxing into stillness.
