Luna Village 🌬️🌊🌏🔥

Winter asks us to rest deeply and turn inward. To hibernate and dance with the darkness. These journeys are very often walked alone, and for good reason. But there comes a point where our stories are to be woven together in fragments of texture and colour to form an eternal tapestry that we hang at the heart of our hearth. These are the stories of women, children, men, elders and ancestors. These are the stories of The Village. 

We have moved through the dawn of the Solstice and we peer towards the equinox in the distance. Here we linger, at the halfway point, in the belly of winter and all her magic. A liminal space, a threshold. And so out of the frost, we begin to emerge. The owl beckons us. The spider welcomes us. The moon holds our collective song. 

Between February 13th - 17th, we invite you to join us at The Village Winter Gathering, around the hearth fire, for 5 days of emergent and deeply nourishing exploration with intimacy, depth and connection. The hearth fire is the soul of any Village community. During our time together we will move as one ecosystem, each becoming the kindling that keeps the tendrils of the fire ablaze. 

We will gather in the Lake District, the land of lakes, mountains and saltmarshes. Where the Irish Sea winds join us with all her music. We will nest together in a beautiful Grade II listed building on the edge of Esthwaite Waters, surrounded by exquisite landscape for walking, playing and exploring. 

Our Winter Village will be a rich and organic co-creation to remember, revive and return to unconditional love. We will linger in the soft, gentle and quieter spaces together, engulfed in the warmth of blankets and one another's care. A place to hold and be held. Come journey with us through the imaginal and dreamy realms. Sit beside your brothers and sisters around The Village fire. Come share the echoes of myth, your unique song and forgotten tales. Together we move through the stories that keep us stuck.

The schedule will include fewer workshops to our Summer Village so that we may be with the sweetness of Winter and flow with the rhythm of drums, songs and stories, heart and hope. The theme of the workshops will honour Winter’s darkness and feminine descent with silence between the words to move and explore in whatever way beckons us. While there will be invitations to join in The Village ways, you may desire solitary practice to meditate, muse, meander and move. All is welcome. In whatever way you choose to be, the loving embers of the Village hearth will be here, holding you. 

We will of course be offering some of our most beloved Village traditions: 

• The community will be cooking three nourishing meals every day using seasonal and organic produce  (all meals included in your ticket!)
• There will be lovingly crafted and warming ceremonial cacao
• Intimacy Temples running into the dark of night
