Grow Your Very Own Apothecary

Leading by example! Whilst many binge watched Netflix and fell prey to antidepressants during the lock-down period of 2020, Holly decided instead to lead the way forward by investigating and researching nature inspired health potions, lotions and tinctures for all. Using her vast knowledge and expertise of flowers, plants, roots, trees, berries and seeds, Holly has spent many years developing various tinctures in her very own (and very impressive) apothecary.

Why not come along to one of our courses to indulge and share the fascinating insights of the world around us and discover how it can be directly beneficial to you and your loved ones.

Holly has devoted her time to research, development and self mastery in the field of herbalism and 'Green' witchcraft. Fear not, this is not about spell casting and love potions.... well not just about spell casting and love potions. Holly is a beautiful, insightful and considerate Christian 'Hedge-witch' (green-fingered and wonderfully attuned to nature). Highly educated and well researched, Holly has the most benevolent hopes and inspirations for a brighter future where nature is both respected and utilized for her wonderful gifts.

You can now learn all about the divine and spiritual nature of the world around us and the gifts mother nature so desperately wishes to share with us. Come along and join us for a highly rewarding and enlightening spiritual experience - whether that is learning about biblical Flora, creating your very own apothecary, discovering the spooky and mysterious or taking a relaxing time out with a sound bath... we have something for all tastes and interests.

Contemplative, Relaxing Midday Sound Baths

After all the caring, chaos and other people's nonsense - take an hour to refill your energy cup . Shhhh! They'll never know...

Struggle with mindfulness or meditation?

No need to learn techniques, or maintain focus, just passively listening to an ocean of ancient soothing sounds is normally enough to guide our brains from active beta states into a deeply relaxed theta state.

This brain state lowers cortisol and adrenaline, reduces heart rate and blood pressure, and supports the body’s natural cellular regeneration and healing processes.

An hour out of your hectic week to experience the deep healing vibrations of a relaxing sound journey on our water-rich bodies.

Wrap yourself up in the soothing, rich tones of the instruments (tuned to 432Hz “the God frequency”).

Whether you are just looking for pure relaxation, pain reduction, emotional release, inspiration, or journeying.

Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath for the Lunar Eclipse

Engage your senses and deepen your bond with the earth through guided foraging experiences.Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath for the Lunar Eclipse

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime magical healing boost under the stars!

Let the transformational power of 'mama cacao' flow through your body, as you float away on the healing, soothing soundscape and guided lunar meditation.

Ceremonial cacao, yoga mat, cushion and cup provided. Bring a blanket, pillow, sleeping bag (and a golf umbrella to cover you if it's raining at the end of Aug) and prepare for an unforgettable experience under the eclipse!

Please note this is outdoors and in the early hours of the morning. It cannot be rescheduled. This is unlikely to ever be repeated, so grab your golden ticket to transformation and healing.

The Partial Eclipse Begins at 3:33 am, the Maximum Eclipse is at 5:12 am (approximately 90-96% of the Moon will be covered by Earth’s umbra (darkest shadow), giving it a distinct reddish hue during totality).

Sunrise in the east/moonset at around 6:15am means that it is no longer visible, but this may be when the energy is strongest and is when we would drink herbal tea and share our healing/transformation/shamanic journeying experiences. The Moon will be very low on the horizon during the maximum phase and visibility needs clear skies and is best when facing south west, which will be strongly attempted but may not be possible.
