Gathering Your Guides for Shadow Season with the Wild Academy

  • Butser Ancient Farm Chalton Lane Hampshire, PO8 0BG United Kingdom (map)

In this rich and evocative journey with Maddy & Eleanor from The Wild Academy, connect with your 'wild self' by exploring three archetypal identities of autumn and winter.

Awaken your magic with the Enchantress, embrace transformation with the Shapeshifter, and honour uncertainty with the Philosopher - discovering along the way how these parts of self relate to powerful mythical women from Celtic folklore, and how their wisdom can guide you through the dark.

About the Wild Academy:

Centuries ago in Ireland, ‘hedge schools’ were created as safe havens for the kinds of teaching that went against the grain. Communities would gather in hidden places - sometimes outdoors, hence the name - to offer education rooted in local culture and a range of spiritual traditions, rather than conforming to the singular requirements and beliefs of dominant institutions.

The Wild Academy is founded on the same idea: it’s a platform for untamed transformative learning that seeks to challenge established ways of thinking and being. Based on a fierce but tender conviction that the world makes a lot more sense when we bring nature connection back into the heart of our lives, our programmes, communities and experiences offer transformative learning opportunities through self exploration to explore what it means to unearth the wild woman within.
