This will be our second weekend Retreat at the beautiful Shining Cliff Woods. This weekend we will be gathering at Samhain and focusing on our individual and collective Journey to the Dark Goddess. This will be a chance to reflect on your own relationship to the darkness in life- in both the outer and inner realms. It is only in knowing and being comfortable with our own darkness that we can be free to truly inhabit the light places in life.

In the amazing natural woodland environment at Shining Cliff we will be surrounded and held by the deep darkness of this time of year. We will be reminded of the turning Wheel of the Year and the ever present cycle of birth and death as we watch the leaves whirl and fall from the trees around us.

The weekend will include a Samhain Red Tent Circle ceremony, meditation/visualisation, craft and an invitation to deep sharing in Circle, Greet the Morning Circles, nighttime Fire Song Circles outside under the cliffs as well as bedtime reading Circles.

The 3 nights gives us a chance for a deep dive into our own journey to the Dark Goddess. It allows time to really let go and surrender to what is true for us at this time in our lives. A time to connect with yourself, with a Circle of Belonging and with Mother Earth. There will be time for group and time for solitude in a beautiful environment. The woods will be stunning at Samhain to walk and explore and there is even a lake to immerse yourself in if you would like.

Accommodation is in shared bunk rooms. Check out the gallery at Shining Cliff Centre CIC.

The £350 cost of the weekend includes all activities, meals (vegan), drinks and snacks. Start time Friday 25th October at 3.30pm. End time Monday 28th October 10 am.
