INFORMAL WILDWOOD WEEKENDS
Near Betws-y-Coed, North Wales

Based in a large ancient woodland overlooking the Conwy Valley (35 minutes to Anglesey - 1 hour from Chester) we offer time to connect with the land beneath us both spiritually and physically during informally organized weekends.

If you want to do some conservation work within an ancient woodland then please get in touch with me directly and we will organize a time that suits both of us. Different activities will be relevant for different times of the year and for all levels of physical fitness! Things you may wish to come and do could include:

  • The collection of Bluebell seed - for use in recently planted woods.
  • Thinning very small trees to favour native species.
  • Making bird boxes/ bat boxes and then putting them up.
  • Planting trees.

If you have any other ideas then please get in touch and we’ll see what we can work out!

Cost : £10 (covering insurance and other basic costs)
FFI or to arrange a visit: contact Francis897 [at] aol [dot] com( Stephen)

If you are interested in what exactly is meant by Ancient Woodland there is an article up in the environment section of the TDN website. Just under 1.5 % of the U.K. is ancient woodland so if you have the time why not come and do some hands on conservation work in one!

GLASTONBURY GODDESS TEMPLE
The Courtyard, 2-4 High Street, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 9DU

Glastonbury Goddess Temple Special News!!!

Glastonbury Goddess

We are delighted to inform you that as from 18th June 2003 the Goddess Temple in Glastonbury, Somerset, England has been formally registered as a Place of Worship.

We believe that we are the first indigenous Goddess Temple in the British Isles (Brigit's Isles) to be officially recognised as a place of worship for perhaps 1500 years. This is an herstoric event since for the first time a sacred space has been recognised, which does not rest within patriarchal religious belief systems, but within the arms of the Goddess,who is the divine feminine.

The Goddess Temple is usually open to the public for prayer, ceremony, meditation and worship on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12.00noon-4.00pm. Ceremonies in praise of the Goddess take place on these days. While the Temple is open Temple Melissas are in attendance to look after the space, perform ceremonies, offer healing, etc.. We hold large public Goddess ceremonies every six weeks, which are attended by 60-80 people. The Temple is open to the public additionally for 3-4 days at this time. We also hold large Goddess ceremonies during the annual Glastonbury Goddess Conference. The Goddess Temple is used for ceremonies for individuals, such as, Handfastings, Rites of Passage, etc., and for healing and Goddess teaching sessions.

If you would like to help or make a donation to the first public Goddess Temple in Europe please contact Brian Charles Tel 44(0)1458 830724
Website www.goddesstemple.co.uk

Future Ceremony dates, when the Temple is open to all are given in the main Events pages as they occur. All are welcome. Admission, as usual free, but donations will be welcomed.
