Upcoming  Events:

WYRD IN THE WOODS

Led by Gill Black and Greta

Saturday 30th May 2-4.30pm

Tinkers Clough, Bollington

Please join us out in the incredibly beautiful space of Tinkers Clough, Bollington, to connect deeply with nature with child like curiosity and openness.

We have some weird and wonderful nature based activities lined up so immerse us into the healing of the wood and out of our heads and away from the hectic world.

We will connect deeply with trees and the elements and ourselves and each other, create a mandala from nature, meditate, share and much more.

The woods helps calm our nervous system and mind, reduces heart rate and blood pressure, lowers stress hormones and boots our natural cells to strengthen our immune system. Nature brings us to the present moment of consciousness where we get to be present to the natural world around us.

Sharing and connecting with trees and humans helps support us and lets us know we are not alone and it grounds us too. The green strengthens us in a gentle way where we live more alert, more calm and peaceful than when we entered.

This workshop is ran by two experienced healers and workshop facilitators Gill Black and Greta Sherratt.

We will have mugwort tea on offer and energy balls. Mugwort tea has been used for centuries for dream work, meditation, and bedtime rituals.

MUGWORT SAFETY AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

Not to be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding or ragweed/Artemisia allergies, liver conditions,. If you have any condition or taking medication please seek guidance from you doctor regarding consuming mugwort – consuming mugwork at your own risk. If in doubt dont take it please.

There is a no refund policy with this booking but you are however able to pass the ticket on to some one else.

NEW MOON CEREMONY AROUND THE FIRE WITH PLANT MEDICINE CACAO

Thursday 20 November 2025 6.30pm-8pm

Shamanic New Moon Cacao ceremony to honour our ancestors in tribes gone by where they would sit in circle to seek guidance and receive healing around the warmth of the fire. We will have the privilege of Matt from Faraway Tarot doing a group reading for us and he will also be available after the ceremony and during supper to do private readings. Plus a guest visit from my reg partner in events Grant with some spell binding.

We want to invite you to journey with us to the natural world where we will be out in nature to connect with the elements around grandfather fire. Here we release what no longer serves us and invite in what we want to manifest in our lives. You will bring forth your intention where we ask to receive divine guidance and messages.

Plant medicine Cacao opens our heart chakra and help us understand ourselves. By connecting to the wonderful plant medicine we will go inwards and ask for guidance from the mama as we set intentions in relation to new beginnings, growth, and transformation.

We will be in sacred space where we can share what we wish and will be outside but there will also be an inside space we can use if the weather spirits wish it.

The emphasis on this event is CHILL – this is going to be a relaxed, chilled out event where you just turn up wearing what you want with cushions and blankets an all and let go.

High Lane Farm will also be offering a hearty supper of vegetable stew and crusty bread with a cup of tea and homemade flapjack for £10 payble to them after the ceremony so you can really make a night of it and plus it will warm us up The supper is not included in this ticket price.

Cacao works with the heart & blood vessels.

If you have a serious heart condition it’s inadvisable to consume cacao. If you have a less serious heart condition, you may be able to take a small dose however, you do so at your own risk.

Please avoid consuming cacao if you are taking high doses of SSRIs. Cacao releases serotonin, so it works as a mild antidepressant. When taken with SSRIs that releaseerotonin chemically it can potentially lead to serotonin syndrome.

Due to popular demand we bring you the wild, untamed and unfettered Trance of Dance led by the lady herself, Plant Medicine, Cacao.

Come join us for this *Cacao Intention Setting Ritual* and Trance Dance Gathering in this beautiful sacred space.

We will be honouring the spirit of plant medicine Cacao in ceremonial sacred space and will connect with her and ourselves through rhythm, meditation and drumming.

This will be a time of coming together in circle to set our intentions, to share what we feel and to connect with our inner self in a safe space with like minded people.

We will also do some journaling and ask for divine guidance from the Oracle Cards for the months ahead.

Shamanic Trance Dance is an ancient ritual practice usually done wearing an eye covering bringings our focus inwards to ourselves to stop us focusing on others or how we look. We leave the place of thinking and drop into the heart space and the body. It is in this space that we get in touch with our intuition, wisdom and stand in our power. Through the beats, the cacao and the dance we can touch our inner essence and spiritual connection which can move trapped energy, bring healing where is needed and allow us to move through emotional blocks and unresolved feelings

Greta will guiding the journey allowing a safe space to let go and be free to be you.

Hope to see you there – loads a love Greta
