If you are considering coming on a course please note:

You will need a sleeping bag - we provide a matress and pillow with pillow case.
The bunkhouse is comfortable but communal! There are three sleeping spaces, with four or five beds in each room. If you prefer privacy, you may want to bring a tent.

Camping

There is ample camping space with lovely views and a tree bog! The campsite is flat and close to the bunkhouse, but far enough away to get some peace and quiet.


You will need ...

Clothes for practical outside work.
Work boots are a good idea, and wellies if you have them.
Inside shoes/slippers are a good idea.
Materials for taking notes.
No dogs or other animals please.
The food will be mostly organic and vegetarian.

If you are on a course or event that finishes on Sunday or late at night please consider arranging your travel home in advance.

Contact your course/event tutor to see if they can arrange a lift share for you.

If you need to get a bus or a train please consider booking a taxi to the bus/train station in advance. Rural bus services are scant in the evenings and on Sunday, and getting a taxi at short notice in this area can be difficult.

  • Eco Shamanism - Shifting Terrain

    Eco Shamanism One Year Course October 2019 - September 2020

    ’Shifting Terrain'

    3 - 6 October 2018 (scroll down for more dates)

    A year of Eco Shamanism open to all. This series of four long weekends will delve into Weather Shamanism, Micro Intelligence, Eco Linguistics and Dreams and Dreaming with an overlying theme of 'instinction' as opposed to extinction.

    Perceptions, perspectives and paradigms will be challenged whilst we explore "The greater part of the soul which is outside the body" (Sendivogius). Our back drop is our Earth, in which we find ourselves, over and over again. Earth's back drop is the great void of unconsciousness in which she finds herself, over and over again. Expect to come under a spell, spelt Earth.

    Dates: all weekends run from 6.30pm Thursday to 3 - 4pm Sunday

    2019
    October 3 - 6

    2020
    February 13 - 16 / June 11 - 14 / September 10 - 13

    Course requirements: There are no course requirements although you may find that knowing how to journey shamanically will be of some use. You can learn this technique at a Learn the Shaman’s Journey workshop or one to one with me.

    £1200 including £180 deposit.

    Tutor Details:

    Mandy Pullen is a shamanic practitioner based in the Forest of Dean. She runs workshops, courses and trainings on eco shamanism in Gloucestershire and further afield.
