The Ancestor's Fire;

A day retreat of deeply rooted ancestral connection with Rozi Hilton and Ellie Brooks

Day of the Dead ~ Sunday 2nd November ~ 10am – 5pm

Tickets: £75 - £135; choose the rate that best fits your current financial situation (see below)

More than a thousand ancestral red threads of love have woven you into being, in this place, in this time. Can you open your heart to the likely possibility that your smile, your heart, your voice, your laugh, have all been loved before… then again, and again, and again. 

Likewise, those things that are heavy to carry may echo down through the generations, making an unwelcome home in our bones.

If you are longing to pick up the weave of your ancestral threads; to root deeply into ancestral connection and discover how we can embrace ancestral support and release ancestral pain, this workshop is for you.

This coming Day of the Dead, gather around the Ancestor’s Fire in the Ancient Technology Centre’s Iron Age roundhouse with sacred maker, Ellie Brooks, and way finder, Rozi Hilton, for a day of immersion in ancestral connection practices, including; ritual, visualisation and crafting.

Together, we will sit in circle, tend the Ancestor’s Fire and reach back through time to explore our own connection with those who walked the earthly path before us.

After a morning rich in inward reflection, the afternoon will see us craft ancestral connection talismans, with a choice of spirit doll, soul pouch or prayer bundle.
