Brigid doll/cross weaving
Poetry, ritual and magical practices have long histories which intertwine. The language or symbols, which call particular existences into being, are treated differently in every time period, some with reverence, some with disrespect: that which names itself as 'spell' changes accordingly.
For this weekend, before the first light of Imbolc, we'll be crafting and casting, sharing meals, sharing poetry and dabbling in visual manifestation practices. Expect crackling bonfires, various workshops, and the weaving of Brigid crosses.
The programme will be - as always - punctuated with suggestions, and open for contributions. There are many welcomed forms: workshops, extended conversations, trying out new ideas or working through your practice. If you’d like to propose something, this can be done when you arrive, or drop us a line beforehand.
Days normally run from 10am, stayers are welcome to join all or some of the scheduled events as they wish.
There is a sliding scale of nightly fee. See here [link] for more details. Please self select the rate you'd like to pay.
Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis, and most rooms are shared.
For those not sleeping over: day user rate is £7.50 per person, per day.
This event is communal cooking rather than self-catering.
Food contribution is £10 per person per day.
Please let us know any dietary requirements when booking.
