Curriculum
The Magic of Crystals & Crystal Grids
Explore the magic of crystals and how to use them as powerful tools to support you in daily life. Through guided practice, discover how to tap into the energy of crystals to strengthen your intuition. Learn how to cleanse, charge and attune to a crystal to be able to use them for spells and magical workings.
Discover how to work with the power of crystal grids through the use of sacred geometry and intention setting. Gain knowledge on how to select crystals and the specific components needed to build a grid. Master how to activate, program and bind crystal grids, then practice these techniques through creating your own.
Magic of Herbs
Meet the ancient holders of our hearts, minds, souls and bodies and exchange with their energies through seeing, smelling, touching, tasting and crafting. Aromatic plants have always been a vital part of human cultures, connecting us with health balance but also ritual and ceremony through their ability to support flow and harmonious states.
Join us at the School of Magic to connect with 3 plants of the season at Braziers, learning about their folklore and magical uses, their effects in your body and make a preparation together to take home for ongoing herb connection.
Fire Manipulation – More Info Coming Soon
Tarot as a Tool for Divination
Tarot is the storybook of our life, the mirror to the soul and the key to our inner wisdom. Together we will explore the system of the Tarot delving into the major and minor arcana cards and the symbology. Discover how to open up to do intuitive Readings for yourself and others, alongside how to use Tarot spreads to support you with interpreting the cards.
Altar Making
In this workshop, you will discover how an altar can be made as a way to connect with the elements of nature, the earth and to acknowledge the change in seasons. An Altar is a sacred space for practicing meditation, setting intentions and as a place of worship. It is a place of peace and tranquility.
Creating an altar is also a very meditative, enjoyable and creative process. Having a sacred space in your home will help cultivate peace and a positive energy flow. During this workshop you’ll be introduced to the meaning of the 5 elements, 7 directions and the symbolism of specific altar items. Together we will create a community altar to acknowledge the current season we are in.
Invocation & Nature Spirits – Discover the Power within the Spoken Word. Revealed will be some of the history and application of calling in Spirit through the voice with prayer and invocation.
Experience and create your own personal invocation to open and close ceremonial spaces to use with Nature spirits.
Learn how to embody and work with the spirits found within nature, safely and cleanly.
Facilitators
Jemma Disney-Pitt
Certified Sekhem Reiki Practitioner, Angelic & Crystal Healer and Tarot Reader
“I’m Jemma. I live in Oxfordshire with my 3 cats, house bunny and hubby!
I have been a complete crystal addict since I was a little girl. I have always been drawn to their healing properties and have intuitively used crystals to support me in my life.
I now offer workshops and healing sessions to assist others in working with the crystals and to harness their healing powers. I have also been a qualified Reiki practitioner for many years, but recently becoming attuned to Seichem Reiki has really deepened my practice.”
Rasheeqa Ahmad
Qualified Medical Herbalist
I trained in herbal medicine with the aim of helping people (including myself!) to enjoy positivity and intelligent health in collaboration with our living universe. I’m excited by the possibilities of plant medicine, both those understood since ancient times and those emerging now. I am committed to continue learning more about this power and to sharing it with others as best as I can. I believe that understanding our connections and symbiosis with the other living beings of the earth can yield great potential for our future development and success – all of us together.
Dan Goss
Fire Specialist
Dan started fire performing at the age of 18 and has been professionally playing with fire for the past 12 years with other performers and flying solo. Feeling very comfortable around fire, he specialises in fire staff and sword, fire eating and breathing, body burning and fire manipulation……..probably explains the lack of eyebrows.
Amanda Tracey
Reiki Practitioner, Artist and Circle Facilitator
With a very eclectic background, Amanda has been practicing ritual and facilitating ceremonies for the past few years. Although her interest in all things magical and her spiritual connection started from a very young age.
During her dedicated 2 year involvement with attending regular Women’s Empowerment Circles, and after receiving Circle Facilitator Training in Bali, Amanda felt she had all the tools needed to begin hosting her own gatherings in the UK. Amanda offers Full Moon Ceremonies and New Moon Circles for women, Guided Meditation and Sound Journeys for the wider community with her partner and hosts Retreats. She has also facilitated Ceremonies to celebrate the Sabbats according to the Celtic Wheel of the Year.
Natalie Vickers
Ceremonialist, Wilderness and Vision Quest guide, Carrier of the Way of Council and Midwife of Spirit
Sharing the stories of nature and the old ways of our ancestors, Natalie offers shamanic initiations and healing, workshops and trainings both in the UK and internationally. She has sat in many circles for nearly 30 years being apprentice to both many different shamanic traditions and the magical and Mystica ways.
Emilie Lecocq
Emilie started her career in touring circuses before spinning fire and teaching workshops on the festival circuit then performing independently in Bristol for several years. Like a magpie, she has collected a wide range of weird and wonderful skills but insists that nothing will ever quite compare to the feeling of manipulating an element.
