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.

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

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.

The Retreats

Each 3-4 day retreat will be held by a minimum of 2 hosts, male and female, representing both energies.

Every retreat will be different but there will be a common theme of co-creation. The hosts will work together with you the participants to organically create an experience most aligned and beneficial for all. Together we will weave into each retreat aspects of the Celtic Wheel festival we are celebrating.

Various practices, workshops, ceremonies and circles will be offered that reconnect you to yourself, to the land, to our ancestors & to the Divine.

As well as leaving plenty of time in between offerings to enjoy the stunning surroundings of Ty Mam Mawr and the peace and healing that they provide.

Things we might explore together….

  • Calling home the Witch and the Wizard
  • Connecting and reconnecting to nature by BEING in it
  • Healing the land
  • Deepening our relationship to both the Earth and Solar cycles
