Last Chance Hotel are a local charity gifting so much of their time to save so many lives. it's a real struggle at the moment with so many pet owners loosing their homes and having to go into temporary accommodation, where most places don't allow their pets to go with them. it's a real juggling act for the charity to find temporary foster homes.
The Spirit Doll holds an egg filled with magic within.... herbs, crystals etc... your Spirit Doll is an allie that you can hold and connect with feeling the energies within....
On the day you will select your own medicine (I have lots to choose from).
This day is suitable for beginners as well as those who have felted many dolls with Alison before.
It's a fun relaxed day and you will probably leave with the felting bug... these dolls make wonderful gifts for Christmas.

Introduction 
to the Shamanic Path
March 10th 2024

A 1 day introduction to shamanism and the shamanic pathway. Led by Derek Gane, we shall step out to explore the basics of shamanic journeying and the various techniques used on the journey. We will discover how to connect and work with our allies and totem animal and start to understand the role of the healer in the shamanic world. We will explore the use of the drum and rattle as shamanic tools. Some of this work will be deepening our connection with the elements of nature so please wear suitable clothes. 
I work extensively as a shamanic healer from the Healing Tree Centre and I have been teaching shamanic practice for 18 years and the Shamans Quest Practitioner training is now in its 12th year. My work is grounded in this land and this Earth and guided by Spirit and I enjoy bringing this forward to help others find their healing, their true power and to find their way. 
This day can be used as a gateway to the Shamans Quest Practitioner training that starts in April 2023 and follows the wheel of the year, though this 1 day is also stand alone, as an introduction, and open to all. 
£65 for the day. Vegan soup and bread lunch provided. Please feel free to add to the shared lunch in a small way. Teas coffee etc. provided throughout the day.
What to bring: 
A stone large enough to fill your hand (any type, rough and nature gifted is good)

Every  Wednesday , between 10.30 to 16.30pm, we'll take on a task of land management (something for all levels), and spend time together, sharing our wisdom and listening to each other. Our aim is to be a friendly, supportive and active volunteer group, held in an appropriately safeguarded space, that will create positive action for the Earth and each other. We each have different skills to offer and are open to learning more. This is an opportunity, especially important at this time, where we can support each other, mentally and emotionally too. The day is led by Derek , an experienced land manager with extensive knowledge of running "Green Team" volunteer groups for Natural England and the National Trust. Come and join us.
