Events in June
June Women’s Wheel
Monday, 8 June 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge and on-line
and/or
Tuesday, 9 June 2026, 12:00pm-2:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge only
On the Wheel of Truth for the month of June, we learn to Speak the Truth. In today’s world, it seems that there are more examples of those who do not Speak the Truth than there are examples of those who follow the Beauty Way, those who know that the vibration of our thoughts, feelings and words carry out into the world affecting All and Everything. Coyote the Trickster is here to help us grow as our species learns to Speak the Truth.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We must walk the Beauty Path as living examples for others. We don’t tell others how to live, and we share our stories only when asked. Creator gave us Free Will Choice which means others are free to ignore our stories or take them to heart – we must be unattached to the outcome. It is only for us to share, not to insist that others follow our ways. When we forget this lesson, Coyote is sure to trip us up!
One of my teachers, Rocking Bear, taught me, ‘Your thoughts and your words are your prayers.’ Choose wisely and speak from the heart!
All women over the age of 10 welcome. Suggested energy exchange £15
Please bring your drums and rattles as well as your braid for the month. If you do not yet have a braid, please draw cards or intuit or drum for the energy you are working with this month.
Sacred Pipe Ceremony
Sunday, 14 June 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – TML and on-line
In this Ceremony with the Sacred Pipe, praying with and for All Our Relations, we offer prayers from our heart to Creator. Native peoples have prayed in this way since the pipe was brought to the people. The story of how the Pipe came to the people depends on the tribe and lineage. We honour White Buffalo Calf Woman, Arrow Woman and Buffalo in our Ceremony. We use Knickknick in the Pipe, an herbal blend including tobacco. Our prayers are carried to Creator with the smoke. But it is not necessary to take in the smoke, you may pray by simply holding the Pipe.
This Sacred Ceremony is open to men and women. Please bring a pillow to sit on, a lap cloth and an open heart. Instructions given to beginners.
As a pipe carrier, it is my honour to live my life non-judgmentally, impeccably, and as a peace-maker. I am available upon request to bring the Sacred Pipe for Ceremony for you, for anyone who needs Medicine in this way, bringing Peace to any situation in your life.
Spirit of the Drum Shamanic Drumming Circle

Shamanic drumming helps us heal, gain access to our own inner wisdom and build community.
All are welcome. Suggested £10 energy exchange.
What to bring: drums and/or rattles (we have a few drums or rattles to borrow), a bottle of water, and something to sit on – a cushion for floor sitting or (compact) lawn chair (there are no chairs available on site). You may wish to bring a notebook and pen.

The Medicine Wheel 1.0 – Challenge & Growth
Thursday, 18 June 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – TML and on-line
A Circle to Work with Our Growing Edge
The Native American Medicine Wheel and the Celtic Wheel of the Year are both a way of life and a mirror for helping us learn and grow. By working with the energies of the chief solar events and their mid-points, we are connected with all life, shown how to have balance, how to connect with the seasons and the environment and much more. These non-linear ways of being help us see through the illusion of time and space, connecting us with the beauty and harmony of the spirit world.
This circle meets 8 Thursday evenings throughout the year – see dates below – and encompasses the energies of the 4 quarters and the 4 cross-quarters. As we work with our growing edges and explore together in community, we will work with the energies of the directions, the seasons, the Totems, the aspects of Self and much more
Starting in March, in the East, we begin with our engagement with life and work through the annual cycle of the year and our lives – putting you at the centre of the circle of your life. We will use teachings and flow in connection with spirit, to work with our edges and celebrate our successes together. If you want to spread your spiritual wings or master challenges in your life this circle is for you.
All are welcome – men and women from all traditions.

Open Creative Afternoons
Usually every Tuesday Afternoon 1:00pm – 5:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge
In community, people used to craft together. These Open Creative times are an opportunity for us to come together in community and create! When we create, we come into alignment with Spirit, our creations come straight from our Orenda and become tangible Spirit in our lives. Dolphin wants us to know that when we are fully absorbed in creation, play, or the wonder and beauty of Nature, we are receiving a healing. This Medicine is offered with Grace – we are worthy of receiving it just by being alive.
We will work in a sociable way but also in Ceremony with Sacred intent.
This little medicine bag is one of my creative projects. What’s yours? Come early, come late, or just come have a tea with us and watch the rest of us work but just show up!
Coming in July:
July Women’s Wheel
Monday, 6 July 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge and on-line
and/or
Tuesday, 7 July 2026, 12:00pm-2:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge only
In the 7th Moon Cycle, we learn to Love the Truth on the Seneca Wheel of Truth. We are in the midst of a 7-year cycle of Unconditional Love. This month, we have the opportunity to work with Manatee, our Collective Totem for 2026, the Year of Basking in the Warmth of Unconditional Love. We are ½ way through the year, a wonderful time to reflect.
Are we setting aside time to just BE, to Bask in the Unconditional Love offered to us by Creator and the Creation? Are aware of the sacred reciprocity of giving and receiving Unconditional Love – giving Love to All That Is opens the heart and then the Love of All That Is can enter the heart. Then when we live from the heart – seeing, working, listening, loving All and Everything through the heart – fear is replaced by harmony. We transmute pain, hurt, and suffering into a life of joy. Call on Manatee and Lapis Lazuli to help you Bask in this time of great change.
Please bring your braid for the month if you have one – your Word, Totem Animal and Path card for the month. If you don’t have a braid, please draw a card, intuit or drum for a Totem animal or energy to work with this month.

Lammas Shamanic Dreaming Circle
Sunday, 9 August 2026, 1:00pm-5:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge
You are invited to dream in Sacred Ceremony and in community at Lammas. Dreaming connects us to Source and our highest self, allowing us to create, magnetise, and manifest our dreams. We will dream with the Totems of the Dreamtime and with the Elementals who help manifest our dreams into the physical. The dreams are limited only by your imagination and can include things in the physical, the emotional, the mental, the spiritual.
What would happen if you lived from your heart and followed your dreams? We will dream for ourselves so that we may realize our truest Self and reach our fullest potential thereby adding to the whole of creation in a positive way. We will dream for each other in loving, community support. We will dream for the world, adding to the matrix of loving energy in building a new world.
Creation is the signature move of the Creator, endlessly creating from the Field of Expansive Possibilities. As good co-creators, at this great Time of Awakening, is the time for us to wipe the dust from our eyes and free ourselves from the Spell of Matter – we are expansive, limitless energy beings! Now – now and now and now – is the time for us to come together in ceremony and prayer to help birth a new world from the Field of Expansive Possibilities – a world of love, peace, joy and honey in the heart!

Death, Life and Going Beyond: A Sacred Rites of Passage
Exploring a Rites of Passage for the end of this life cycle
Day 1: Sunday, 25 October 2026, 10:00am–5:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge
Day 2: Sunday, 22 November 2026, 9:00am-3:30pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge
Death is a natural part of the cycle of life – it is part of being a nature being and we are all nature beings, we are all sons and daughters of our Earth Mother, part of this physical plane – but we are also so much more! In our culture, we often fear our own death as well as the death of loved ones. Death is not an end, but a sacred, transformative Rites of Passage. Do we want to feel courage, love, hope and happiness as we transition? Can we explore death, in order to step fully into life and celebrate every breath we take? This will be a transformative journey to explore what happens at the moment of death and beyond. None of us are getting out of here alive – so let’s prepare and celebrate our return to Source, our return to the Light!
In this workshop we will:
- Explore the physical and metaphysical aspects
- Hold Fire and Forgiveness Ceremonies
- Take Shamanic Journeys to our Helping Spirits for help and guidance
- Do Prayer Ties for gratitude
- Explore death and life so that we can be a light to others
Suggested gifting: sliding scale £110-£150
