Welcome

Wood Sisters is now on sabbatical

From Autumn 2015 Wood Sisters is on sabbatical after five fertile and full years!

Meanwhile Living Spirit retreat days and Wild Wisdom Courses continue. Click here for more details.

This site and journal remains as an archive and record of our adventures, with deep gratitude to the many women who shared their wisdom and creativity over our years together.

 

 

The Celtic Circle is now on sabbatical

We are currently taking a long and possibly permanent pause! But Wild Monastics (with a similarly celtic flavour but open to both women and men) meets for inter-spiritual chanting, silent walking & sitting meditation in Dartington. All welcome to join us  on a donation basis for:

• Seasonal reflection, sharing and wisdom study.
• Meditation, chanting and the option of sacred time in nature.
• A warm, safe and welcoming open group for all ages held by a trained and experienced facilitator

Our vision… is to create together a sacred circle within which each woman can discover more about the wild beauty of her soul, deepen her own connection to Source and feel empowered to express her unique creativity. Wild, deep, creative women can transform the world!

Our way… is to enable deep soul work through courses based on the eightfold celtic cycle of the year, which blend spiritual arts such as meditation and simple ceremony, with the creative arts, especially myth and storytelling, and practical natural crafts and sacred time in nature and wilderness. Gatherings are held in comfortable homes or our Red Tent in the beautiful countryside around Totnes, in South Devon and are offered by experienced teachers and facilitators.

each participant is free to choose their level of involvement; from dipping a toe into the wisdom pool with a single day, to a deep immersion in our “Slow Cook Course’.

Wood Sisters courses consist of a series of eight one day gatherings based on the sacred seasonal cycle, in which each participant is free to choose their level of involvement; from dipping a toe into the wisdom pool with a single day, to a deep immersion in our ‘Slow Cook Course’.

Wrapped around these seasonal celebrations are more frequent morning meetings called the Wood Sisters Circle. Local women gather in this circle once a week for a facilitated meeting of study, meditation and sharing. Visitors are always welcome. The Circle has just completed a series of meetings on mineral and tree wisdom and is now on sabbatical, but please do get in touch if you’d like to join us in future.

Many Sisters feel inspired to also find their own daily rhythms of sacred living and there is professionally trained and experienced individual mentoring and support available for any woman who seeks this kind of commitment to the Mystery.

Our values… include a non dogmatic, interfaith and open approach to spirituality, non hierarchical structures that are both well held and emphasise facilitation and collaboration and a commitment to holistic learning which balances the four elements of being… ‘head and hands, heart and soul’…

Please explore our website to learn more about Wood Sisters, to find details and dates for our meetings, gatherings and courses and visit our online journal to see all the latest photos and descriptions of past events.

Come and join us in opening the treasure house of your soul and journeying deeper into the Mystery… We look forward to hearing from you!
