The Mushrooms Apprentice

Of Celtic heritage, Shonagh follows the wisdom of the ancients and serves as a Bàn Draoi (dree), Gaelic for a Celtic medicine woman/seer. As a modern medicine woman, she brings her connection to nature and the spirit worlds into her retreats and private sessions.

Roundtable Discussion
Is Magick Really Real? For real?
As Arthur C Clarke said, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic”, and so with consciousness an enigma for today’s scientists, the idea of an advanced technology of Applied Consciousness fits right into the category of Magick! While the practice of magick is fundamentally about raising and directing energy to fulfil your intentions, there are two other Clarke laws applicable to the discussion of magick, and these are….
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
Let’s explore the impossible together with the Magickal Women who live it!
Workshop
THE ALCHEMY OF MUSIC
By Laura Watkins
We all have experienced the effects of music on our souls. It can take us back in time to some of the most important occasions of our lives. But what if music could be used alchemically to heal, remove things that no longer serve you, or express creativity? In this workshop, Laura will take us on a journey into the alchemy of music and teach us how to use this powerful tool in our lives!
THE MAGIC OF PLAY
BY MARLA DURDEN
Co-creating with subtle realms through the wisdom of the body
Come remember that you have powerful magic in your blood and bones. We are a part of a beautiful, vibrant Universe, pulsating with life and intelligence. Our heart beats for us over 100,000 times per day; our lungs breathe for us 22,000 times a day. Epigeneticists tell us we contain 13 generations of memories. At this very moment, your body allows you to read this text. Connecting to our body wisdom, consciously through the state of play, connects us to the unconscious field of knowing/belonging and to our Kin, sometimes known as Fae, Nature Spirits, Cosmic energies, and/or Ancestors. Play opens neural pathways, relaxes the mind, creates community and helps us to enter into relationships of co-creation that are mutually beneficial for all.
Connect with the wisdom of your body
Learn how to co-create with Subtle Realms
Connect to your allies for mutually-beneficial creations
Experience the power of play to transform, heal and create
Engage the spirit of collaboration in connection and community

There will be an opportunity to take part in a pathworking from the Initiates Way during the session. The painting of Pan; Hermes; Devil is one of 22 which make up the Major Arcana of the Tarot.

Ancient Goddess Traditions
by Heather Elizabeth Osborn
Dr. Heather Elizabeth Osborn has a Doctorate in Education, with experience as an educator teaching in the US and the UK. While living in London, she pursued research on Goddess Mythology in women’s literature and completed her Priestess of Avalon training in Glastonbury to initiate into the ancient British Goddess mysteries. Upon returning to the US, she continued her writing, research, and exploration of ancient Goddess mysteries, creating an online course and organizing spiritual retreats to sacred sites as the founder of the Swan Centre. Her media work as a radio co-host and as a TV presenter as a contributing expert includes various Discovery Channel shows, such as ‘Forbidden History,’ ‘Inside Secret Society,’ and ‘What On Earth?’ Heather’s doctoral research for her dissertation focused on the importance of “writing for healing,” within an individual and social context to create transformational change. As a university educator, she encourages her students to find their individual voices through writing and expression, and as a writer, educator, and priestess, she is committed to honoring diversity and creating inclusive opportunities for connection and unity. One of her current writing projects includes her continued work on her book, ‘In the Eyes of Isis,’ about her personal and spiritual journey with Goddess traditions and various landscapes, the basis for her talk for ‘Women of Wisdom.’ Following this inner connection led to her most precious gifts in her life, her son Sean and her husband, author Gary Osborn, and the understanding that, at the center of all, our inner connectedness to love is what fuels the fire of inspiration, healing, empowerment, and transformational wisdom about our life paths.
