Lammas is also a time of reflection and introspection. It is a time to take stock of the past year, to assess personal growth, and to set intentions for the coming months. A perfect time to perform rituals to release old patterns or negative energies, making way for new beginnings.

The symbolism of Lammas is deeply rooted in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. As the first harvest festival, it reminds us of the interconnectedness between humans and nature, and the importance of gratitude for the Earth’s bounty. It signifies the turning of the wheel of the year from the height of summer towards the approaching autumn and the eventual winter.

Heres what we will create and enjoy together over the course of our 4 day celebration:

• Sunrise Meditation
• Gentle Mindful Movement Meditation
• Being Abundant Workshop
• Fire Ceremony and Ancient Lammas ritual
• Meditation and Drum Journeying
• Creative Nature Art Workshop
• Sharing Circle
• Silent Walk and journaling
• Sound Healing
• Wild swimming
• Ecstatic Dance – with live DJ set

Lots of space and time to connect inwardly and to the bountiful land that will surround you.

So, can you feel the energy of change stir within your soul, do you hear that unmistakable call from the Ancestors, nudging you to remember and re-activate the Light that lies dormant within your bones, and if deep in your heart you know that it is now time to Realise the Abundance that you have in your life…..let your heart be guided to come and join us on the sacred land, to sit with your tribe, to re-member and celebrate the absolute true joys of being alive!

You hosts for this immersive experience are Nia and Nathan and they are truly excited to co create and harness the energy and magic of the Lammas with you all.

Places are limited to 13 so early booking is essential!

Lammas Blessings,

Nia & Nathan

Lammas / Lughnasa 

Ritual threshold of Autumn – Cross-quarter Festival – Ripeness And Abundance – Reaping what has been sown – Harvest

Element: Earth

Masculine principle is dominant, tempered by the feminine

• The challenge: Appreciate the abundance of the harvest, to reap what has been sown
• The invitation: Take time, pause to celebrate the abundance and bounty of the harvest
• The gifts: Increasing our capacity for joy, craic and pleasure, owning our gifts
• The wisdom: Joy and sadness co-arising as aliveness
• The movement: Pulsing
• Mythology/ archetypes/symbols: Lugh, the Samhaildánach (many gifted one) and his foster mother Tailtiú

Why Do This?

It is beyond exciting to announce this powerful collaboration, bridging various conscious communities together & inviting both sisters and brothers to be part of this transformational and powerful healing journey.

Ty Mam Mawr has called us to bring together both women and men to heal with and through one another and the land itself. To explore ways and tools which will rebalance the sacred feminine and masculine energies, both within us and in the outer world.

Right now on Earth, we live in a disembodied world, with distorted societal pressures leading us astray into the push of the shadow masculine, teaching us to force, keep going, abandon the Earth and our wild cyclic nature. The Earth and the stars have never been so loud in their call to bring us home to remember how to live in right relationship with the land, with ourselves and with each other.

• What if we lived in a world where the feminine and masculine in both women and men was tended to and nurtured?
• What if we all used nature as our compass and returned to a way of being that didn’t lead us astray and into disconnection?
• What if we truly acknowledged and valued the naturally powerful transformational cycle of life, death and rebirth?
• What if we gave back to the Earth in the same way that she gives us life, breath and nourishment?

This is a very powerful time of change, and we believe wholeheartedly that it is up to us to step up. To stand up for ourselves, each other and the Earth. To live and lead by example.

This offering has been a clear and concise message from the land itself at Ty Mam Mawr and we have committed to listen and do our part to help shape a new way.

Reclaiming the Joy

You are warmly invited to the second of our Celtic Wheel Celebrations here at Ty Mam Mawr. Celebrating Litha or Summer Solstice.

3pm Tues 20^th June to 11am Fri 23^rd June (True Astronomical alignment dates)

We are so excited to invite you to the second of our Celtic Wheel Celebrations here at Ty Mam Mawr. ‘Reclaiming The Joy’ Summer Solstice Celebration

Never on Earth has there been a time of absolute need, for us to mirror the bright golden sun, shine our own light upon the Earth, remember our birth right and remember why we are here.

• We are born to be in Joy!
• We are born to thrive and flourish!
• We are born to embody absolute satisfaction and fulfilment!
• We are born to drink from the ever-flowing stream of abundance and prosperity!
• We are born to be in Love with Life and in love with ourselves and let this love POWER the expansion of the cosmos and the entire universe!

Through our modern day lives and the overwhelming use of technology, we are becoming more disconnected to the planet we live on and her natural cycles, therefore we are disconnected from our own natural bodily cycles. The more we can connect to nature, the more we become in tune with our own inner realm. Therefore, the more we can live in joy and harmony within ourselves, those around us and with the Earth.

Unity within, creates unity without.

Our ancestors celebrated the Joy of life at the time of the Summer Solstice, the height of summer, where the feminine Earth is pregnant with life and the divine masculine sun sits high upon his throne.

Following on from our first gathering at Beltane where we honoured the sacred union of the Earth and Sun, we now give celebration to the life that has been created upon the fertile Earth and deep within ourselves.

Heres what we will create and enjoy together over the course of our 4 day celebration:

• Solstice Sunrise Meditation
• Gentle Mindful Movement Meditation
• Connecting with the Joy Workshop
• Solstice Fire Ceremony and Ancient Litha ritual
• Meditation and Drum Journeying
• Creative Sun Mandala Workshop
• Sharing Circle
• Silent Walk and journaling
• Sound Healing
• Ecstatic Dance – with live DJ set

Lots of space and time to connect inwardly and to the bountiful land that will surround you.

So, can you feel the energy of change stir within your soul, do you hear that unmistakable call from the Ancestors, nudging you to remember and re- activate the Light that lies dormant within your bones, and if deep in your heart you know that it is now time to RECLAIM THE JOY that you have lost in your life…..let your heart be guided to come and join us on the sacred land, to sit with your tribe, to re-member and celebrate the absolute true joys of being alive!

You hosts for this immersive experience are Nathan and Lynsey, and they are truly excited to co create and harness the energy and magic of the Summer Solstice with you all.

Places are limited to 13 so early booking is essential!

Solstice Blessings,

Nathan & Lynsey

You are warmly invited to the first of our Celtic Wheel Celebrations here at Ty Mam Mawr. Celebrating Beltane, the beginning of summer, where the masculine and feminine come together in sacred union. A time of honouring the fertility and abundance of the Earth (feminine) through the light of the sun (masculine).

Fertility can be looked at in terms of the land and our biological functions but also the creative energy that wants to move through us. In this time of great change upon the Earth, it has never been more important to shine your light onto the Earth and to uncover your unique gifts. We have the opportunity to allow the expanding, enhancing energy of Beltane to reveal your inner powers and nourish the gifts you hold inside. This Earth needs you and your magic, and for you to spread your light to your loved ones, to your communities and out into the world. You will be held lovingly and devotionally in this safe container of growth and celebration, hosted by Nathan and Emma. 

In the ways of our ancestors, Beltane was a way of bringing people together to acknowledge and revel in the rebirth of the summer and the fertility of the land. We want to remember that connection to the land our ancestors thrived off. Through our modern day lives and the overwhelming use of technology, we are becoming more disconnected to the planet we live on and her natural cycles, therefore we are disconnected from our own natural bodily cycles. The more we can connect to nature, the more we become in tune with our own inner realm. Therefore, the more we can live in harmony within ourselves, those around us and with the Earth. Unity within, creates unity without. 

The word ‘Beltane’ lightly translates as ‘bright fire’ so often there would be ceremonial bonfires acting as a purifier and healer, to cleanse and protect their people, the cattle and the crops. Therefore, like our ancestors, we will be honouring and celebrating the element of fire through our own fire ceremony! You will be welcomed to bring an offering, something to let go of, something you are wanting to allow the fertility of the Earth to nourish, or even a creative offering you would like to celebrate, share and be witnessed in (ie, a poem, song, story, art, craft etc).

Heres what else will be offered over the weekend…

• Gentle Yoga – combining the masculine and feminine principles.
• Meditation
• Sharing Circle
• Pilgrimage
• Silent Walk
• Creative Workshop 
• Sound Healing
• Ecstatic Dance – with live DJ set
• Fire Ceremony
• Lots of space and time to connect inwardly and to the bountiful land that will surround you. 

All vegan meals included. Accommodation for up to 13 participants provided in yurts and the roundhouse.

We are so looking forward to co-creating and weaving this powerful weekend with you. If you have any further enquiries or questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you through this journey. 

Beltane Blessings,

Nathan & Emma
