We begin the workshop at Chalice Well in the moonlight and starlight, with a crisp frost underneath our feet
Mary and child are close by at all times
The candle is lit on the altar before we begin drumming
The sunlight blesses our circle
Michael's drum is lit by solar power
Deep concentration as we learn to drum...
The energy begins to build...
And deep focus is needed
Outside is a fairyland as the snow still lies in the garden
The well is a source of inspiration
We drum Bloodwell around the well head
Snowdrops remind us that spring is here
The sacred spiral takes us deeper into the landscape
We shall be climbing the Tor later...
Right up into Michael's tower
Meanwhile all paths lead back to the workshop
Ready to climb the Tor anyone?
Intrepid walkers...
We take the Michael line route... mud an' all!
The gateway into the Sacred Grove
We step through one by one
Sending a prayer to Michael
May we stay steady on our feet...
The solar power graces our circle at the point where the Michael & Mary lines meet
We drum the fire beat
The sun shines brightly on the Tor
And Michael is as bright as ever!
Pauline faces the sun...
And Linda & Pauline concentrate on drumming
Bathed in sunlight at the Node Point
The power of the sun fills us with energy
The power of this place is unmistakable
We continue up the Tor
At least we're not slipping!
The Tor looks spectacular
Anshatara outlined by the sun
She looks like an ancient ancestor
Patricia enters the Tower
Waiting for everyone to arrive
Anshatara with her drum
Pauline & Michael in the Tower
Linda looks up
The magic of the faery begins to take effect...
The drumming begins to intensify
And Karen hides behind hers!
The passers-by are fascinated
Light beings begin to appear between us
The full effect of the sun's rays in St. Michael's Tower
The light orbs move around
Appearing over all of us
The power of the sun is ever present
And the effects are easy to see
Dancing orbs....!
They particularly like Jana's drum...
Wow!
The orbs move up the Tower
We begin our descent in the icy wind
The Tower bathed in sunlight
Spectacular skyscape
The views are stunning
The solar power of the Michael line is apparent...
Archangel Michael
The yew tree gateway
The blood-red tree in the sunset
The last of the sun's rays...
Retreat behind the Yew trees
As we enter Arthur's Court
The blood red waters
The waterfall-being
We enter the next Sacred Marriage power spot
The power of Mary is very apparent
Patricia dreaming
The welcoming gateway
Ready for the Mary & Michael chant
Farewell to this beautiful sacred water energy
The altar on Sunday morning begins to grow
Michael deep in drum meditation
The sun's rays are still powerful
Other Michael in a dream
Sunlight fills the workshop space
Caressence deep in drum meditation
Drumming to Sacred Mother Earth
Sun beings on Michael B's drum
Patricia's drum
Karen's drum
The plants loved it
Inside the White Spring
We drum to the Goddess Brighde
Beautiful painting of Brighde
The watefall is very loud!
Michael and the Stag drum in the White Spring
Karen and the Sacred Egg Stone
We all gather around the stone in the gently falling rain...after singing Amazing Grace inside the Abott's Kitchen
We make a circle in the Lady Chapel
We remember that this is the place of the first Temple to Jesus & Mary
Our feet are buzzing...
The energy is very powerful
It's hard to leave
The sacred well of the Mary Chapel
We all take a look...
It's a truly beautiful place
Anshatara in the Mary Chapel
High Priestess Karen
Caressence in the Mary Chapel
Finally we make it to the High Altar - and a huge cloud of energy appears over us...
Another orb...at this last Sacred Marriage power spot
Time to say our goodbyes...
And we make our way home. Goodbye! May Peace Be with You...
