The Yurt is comfortable and spacious for two people.

It is equipped with a wood burning stove for those chilly nights, and a complimentary basket of wood is included.

There is a handmade kingsize bed and four pillows for your comfort, and a table and two chairs to sit on and read your morning papers or enjoy your meals indoors.

The Yurt has an assortment of crockery, cutlery and cooking pots and a stove kettle. Tea towels and a small amount of complimentary cleaning supplies and loo rolls are also provided.

Please bring your own towels as these are not provided.

There is ample storage space under the bed and tea light lanterns to create a soft glow in the evenings.

Groceries are not provided, however, meat, vegetables and general groceries can be purchased locally or in nearby Cinderford or Ross on Wye.

We ask people not to wear outdoor shoes in the Yurt, so you may wish to bring a pair of slippers or thick socks.

There is a basic equipped kitchen outside the Yurt in a separate structure, which includes a sink and washing up area with hot running water.

There is an outside fire pit, and a kotlich for open-fire cooking.

There is a compost loo near to the Yurt just above the firepit and a super open-air shower just behind the kitchen. We have ensured your stay is completely self-contained.

Please do bring a torch or lantern, as lighting inside the Yurt is low level and and a torch may be useful when walking around after dark.

There are no electrical points within the Yurt.

  • Eco Shamanism Two Year Practitioner Training

    October 2020 - July 2022

    'Becoming one with our Earth'

    Starts 8 - 11 October 2020 (scroll down for more dates)

    A series of eight modules studying the contemporary areas of shamanism with an emphasis on eco reciprocity.

    You will be embarking on your own personal eco shamanic journey within a community of like minded beings (and the more than human world) whilst also learning all the major shamanic healing techniques.  An Eco Shamanic Practitioner Certificate is awarded once all work has been completed and is dependent on attendance and competence. However this is not compulsory and the course can be taken without the 'Certificate' element.

    Areas covered are (but not limited to) as follows:-

    Perception, awareness and sensation - diving into ourselves as Earth - a marriage of senses and spirit (the sixth sense).

    Spirits of land and nature, space and place (genius loci); accessing places and spaces of power; connecting to the more than human world (the anima mundi in all it's earthly forms).

    Shamanic Counselling - helping humans help themselves via spirit: teaching humans the shamanic journey.

    Vision quest - understanding the process of the journey within and without. Calling for a vision. Working with labyrinths.

    The elements - a deep look at fire, earth, air and water (and the seasonal cycles of Sun and Moon).

    Energetic medicine techniques and the recovery of power - identifying and remedying misplaced energy and power in humans and the more than human world.

    Soul retrieval - the return of spirit essences for a more fulfilled life, for you and others, and the more than human world.

    Eco Mapping - middle world nature/spirit healing for humans using perception and perspective. Oracular work focussing on divination.

    Plant and animal spirits, guides, teachers and friends.

    Sustainable living practises - you are what you eat, travelling lightly, future thinking, remote viewing.

    The shamans horse (drum, rattle, sistrum and bell) - healing circles and the instrument’s voice or song / the nature of sound.

    Psychopomp (death and dying) - assisting the dying and dead to find their true place of rest.

    The beginning and end game - the nature of time, connection to source, authenticity, the ego and icons.
