Wheel of the Year Celebrations
Sun Cycle Celebrations
These ceremonies are to help us focus on aligning ourselves with the cycle of the year and recognising how we reflect the cycles of nature. The energy we create at each ritual is different, and the experience reflects the energy of the season.
The ceremonies involve ritual, meditation, chant and journeying. No experience necessary, just come and enjoy the celebrations.
Or, if you are not from Brighton you may prefer to download a ritual to perfom at home.
Feedback from past participants:
“Great safe, warm and supportive atmosphere and if you knew how hard I find it to speak in groups, then my speaking out is even more testament to the fantastic energy. Loved the chants and dancing, even though I was a bit anxious about them, I’ll be back... oh, and great fairy dust” - Jenny
"Really enjoyed coming back for a new ritual, especially as we don’t usually mark the Imbolc one. Good to be here – there is a sense of timelessness and joy in being here in this sacred space." – Andy
"A very inspirational evening with good vibrations which will remain after the Solstice has passed."
"Very welcoming, friendly, energising – first gathering experience. I look forward to the year ahead and further contact with this ritual." – Georgie
"Thank you for your grounded approach to healing and ritual, lovely fun evening." - Keith
