Wood Sisters Courses

Slow Cook Community & Slow Cook Course

Join the Wood Sisters for a slow cook in the cauldron of women’s mysteries! This is a special opportunity to make a commitment to your soul and to journey with a committed group of women through the sacred cycle of the year. The Slow Cook Community offers all 8 Gathering Days for the price of 7 and the Slow Cook Course – Ceridwen’s Cauldron invites you to join a more intimate group of up to 12 women who meet with a facilitator/tutor for 5 evenings a year after the Gathering Days. These meetings give more time in a committed group for deep soul work and sharing of each person’s unique journey through the inner and outer seasons of the year.

This year, with our 2014/15 cycle, we are celebrating five wonderful years of rich, sacred celebration. We will then be taking a sabbatical, so after our Autumn Equinox Gathering on September 19th, there will be no further Slow Cook Course in 2015/16.

The Slow Cook Course allows us to choose our own rate of learning and engagement to suit where we are in our own lives.  For some of us, a single year may be enough, for others it may unfold through repeated cycles over several years.

We will be sharing our bright and dark wisdom and experience collaboratively in community over a year and a day, with all of us at our own different stages of our learning journey.
