Working with the Elements

Dates: TBC

Cost: £300

A 2-day shamanic workshop held in the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside, helping you connect with, understand and work more deeply with the four Elements – Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The weekend culminates with a unique group ritual in a bronze-age recumbent stone circle, enabling students to integrate their new knowledge and embed it more deeply in memory through practice.

This course will run with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 students.

 

This course can also be run as 4 half-days at a cost of £60 per half-day if that’s easier for people to manage – get together with a friend(s) and contact me to arrange dates!

 

All course enquiries should be made to me at beansidhedrumcraft@gmail.com.

 

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your booking after I confirm availability for your chosen course. The balance of the fee is due 8 weeks before the course commences and may be refundable if I can fill the place or in exceptional circumstances.

Joining instructions and a list of what you should bring with you will be emailed to you with your booking confirmation. There are good local B&Bs and campsites for accommodation, and you are responsible for your own food.
