Gain CLARITY, PEACE & WISDOM by tapping into our rooted allies.
Our relationship is codependent, invisible and deep. We cannot live without them, but how often do you take trees for granted?
Often overlooked and disregarded in our search for healing, but trees power and support are extraordinary! As well as giving us fruit, medicine and treehouses, they are wisdom carriers, portals… and can provide shifts in consciousness as profound as any other more sort after teacher plants.
Why now?
We are in the midst of a revolution of consciousness expanding on the planet. As your journey deepens you may feel more:
- Energetically sensitive, and no longer require harsh or extreme experiences to acquire profound realisations.
- The need to tap into natural and more accessible methods to destress and neutralise overwhelm.
- Desire to learn methods that will equip you for life, (without the need for tech), and work wherever you roam.
- Connected to the land you live on and want to come home to the medicine you are surrounded by.
- Out of sync with your job, friendships or hobbies and want to connect to the truth of who you are now.
- Responsibility to support a lot of people and realise you need a non-judgmental way of resourcing yourself.
- Simplicity is needed in your days.
Connect to your environment with fresh eyes, you are able to find empowerment, healing, strength and waves of bliss on your doorstep.
"It was a fabulous -- exceeded all my wishes for it." Landon
"Deeply life changing *****" Terry Gover
“Thanks for a wonderful course today. I can already feel it helping me enormously so I'm very grateful. Your work is very important. *****” Tim Sandars
Trees have a relationship with you even if you are unconscious of it. Look for which trees are predominant near your home or work; it might not be a coincidence. According to Druid lore, there are 21 initiation trees, and when the time's aligned the tree you need will appear in your life. During this day of exploration, surrender and connection you will learn tools and techniques for connecting to the tree that you are drawn to and their significance and meaning. Including:
- The Birch: The initiator, purifier and bringer of new life
- The Oak: The master tree, bringing balance, strength, perspective, compassion and healing
- The Yew: The mysterious gateway between life and the beyond, full of secrets for those ready to listen, an ancient temple of knowledge
***** "This was amazing. A lot of useful information on so many levels. Very well structured. Beautifully led. Highly recommended.” Anon
***** "Wonderful day spent in nature, deepening and learning about our connection with trees. Helen is an excellent facilitator and inspiring guide." Lucy Merali
I have experienced firsthand how to talk with trees. I spent weeks in isolation with towering beauties in the Amazon rainforest but my deep initiation began by working with trees in London. With the simultaneous loss of my mother, relationship and work, I sought solace in nature and soon found myself compelled to spend all my time with one specific ancient oak. I am deeply grateful for the support and healing I received. Over the course of months of pilgrimaging to this tree I began to experience consciousness-altering encounters and downloads. After a year, I went to a head Druid who confirmed I had organically received all three stages of initiation by the Oak without an intermediary. Over the years this journey has taken me to other trees, both near and far. I am now excited to be able to share their wisdom and guide you through tools and techniques so you can seek solace, healing and a deeper connection to the trees of your land.

The Heath
A world within a world. You transcend all you know London to be when you enter the heath. Sprawling for 790 acres with over 25 ponds and records of it going back to 986 when Ethelred the Unready granted one of his servants five hides of land at "Hemstede". People from all faiths, and spiritual disciplines have used the natural power of the place for ritual, ceremony and celebration. The earth is rich, the land diverse and the trees ancient. Come and hear what they have to tell you.

Feedback from previous events:
"This course was so beautifully held and heart centred, while radiating pure authenticity and warmth. Helen is a skilled facilitator and created a space where we could all come exactly as we were and bare our vulnerability. Each week I felt a profound shift as deep material came up to be gently worked with. Much love and thanks."
“Every session was amazing in its own way, and so varied. I enjoyed every minute. The energy was so powerful; I really have found it life-changing. I’m looking at life in a new light.”
Lindsey Johnston, civil servant, feedback on women's retreat
“I gained more in 3 sessions than I gained in 3 years of therapy! You got to the root of the issues and I have been able to find the connection I was pining for. Since the 3 sessions I have made significant changes in my personal and professional life resulting in a life that is more balanced. Thank you Helen I believe your amazing work has given me the leaps I needed to learn to live again.”
Sabi C. psychotherapist, feedback on one-to-one sessions
“I have been to hundreds of ceremonies over the last 30 years of running a retreat centre. Helen's cacao ceremony in Ibiza really was one of the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremonies I have ever been a part of. I had profound realizations, felt a deep connection to my family and that was because of her heart, her knowledge, her light and the beautiful and safe space she created!”
