We plan to have another great range of speakers & workshops for this years gathering, but still give you time to enjoy the locality.
If you are coming to the camp & fancy sharing some knowledge with us, then message us for a workshop slot. It can be a pagan, craft, nature based or a healing session. If you have an idea then feel free to share with us.
These sessions are run by volunteers & may be subject to change

This year we have decided to hold a raffle instead of the Charity Auction & we are asking all those attending to bring along a raffle prize to add to the pot. Monies raised will be donated to the
Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital | 24 Hour Rescue & Advice Service
Will take place on the Saturday evening at about 20:00hrs
The ritual is portal based & is invoked with galdr magic (Galdr is old Norse for song), so the incantation follows a formal poetic structure. Fire is an integral part of the ceremony with a short torchlit procession to the circle. Braziers & torches add light & warmth plus this year a ring of jamjar lights to add definition & a bit more light.
One item of trivia you may not notice is that each of the portals is connected to the earth with a solid copper spike, with the intention to create a pure & hopefully a potent connection to the powers of the universe.
After the success of this year, we are planning on making the drum & meditation session a regular gathering event on the Sunday evening at about 18:00hrs up on the hill near the White Horse & when everyone returns at sunset we will hold a small closing ritual, before settling down around the fires for mead, song & good conversation.
