The Turning 🔆
Where the Light Turns 🌄

Summer Solstice Immersion
with Sarah Fox & Sam Gravestock

June 20th - 10am to 1pm
and
June 21st 6.30pm to 9pm
on Zoom
(Feel free to be outside enjoying the high Summer vibes with your device and headphones, should that feel resourceful, I'll probably do the same. Just have some space to chill without distraction and to move.)

At the height of it's arc at midsummer,
the wheel pauses.

Solstice literally means standing sun.
The word solstice is derived from the
Latin word "solis" meaning sun,
and another word meaning "standing."

The light reaches its fullest expression and begins, almost imperceptibly, to turn once more toward darkness.

The Turning is our invitation to meet that
sacred threshold consciously.
A time to honour both the abundance of midsummer and the truth that all things
move in cycles.

Following the journey through the Wheel of the Year that Sam and I have curated with Wild Wintering, The Quickening, Threshold, and Blossoming, this online gathering brings us into the fire and fullness of the Summer Solstice.

Together we will explore the turning point of the year through nature connection, mythology, ritual, movement, storytelling, plant wisdom, poetry, song, and practical wilderness skills.

Through practical and soulful experiences woven by the land and the body, we will listen for what is in fullness, what is asking to be celebrated, and what will move towards completion after the brightness.

Expect:

• Nature connection and sensory awareness practices

• Myth, folklore, and seasonal storytelling

• Somatic and embodied movement explorations.

• Plant connection and practical earth skills

• Ritual, reflection, shared conversation and laughter.

The Turning aims to honour the ancient understanding that the solstice is not only
a peak of light, but a moment of change.
Another living threshold.

Come gather at the virtual ceremonial fire
as the light turns.
Let modernity meet primal cravings
for celebration and connection.

On the 4th anniversary of our handfasting,
I want to offer love and deep gratitude to my beloved teacher and friend, Deirdre Wadding.

Deirdre’s training, mentorship, and continued friendship have changed my life.
She brought me into relationship with the Sacred Land and showed me ways to be in service to it, with reverence and devotion.

I have walked many paths in search of meaning.
I first trained in yoga in 2003, and that relationship has stayed with me ever since.
I am a chanting Buddhist and receive so much from sitting at my object of devotion, the Gohonzon, chanting Nam Myho Renge Kyo.
And yet, for all those years, something was missing... it's kinda like tasting a dish and knowing there is one final ingredient that would bring it fully to life but you can't figure it out, but you really hunger for it.
For me, that was the connection to Éire.

Deirdre’s Priestess of the Sacred Land and Spiritual Celebrancy training was that missing piece. It brought me into relationship with the Land, the language, and a depth of magic that I feel profoundly honoured to witness.

I love you, Deirdre.
You are my wise elder, a dear friend, and an extraordinary teacher and priestess.
I am in awe of you, and I offer this in gratitude.

Also thank you to
the Marriage Stones of Cape Clear island
and who is the most incredible photographer in the land.

The next adventure is Threshold.
Starting Thursday 19th March.

It works, my friends, this easeful way of being in community, of being guided back to the plants, using the little contraption 🤳🏻
we always seem to have in our hands,
and from it stepping back out into
the natural world.

Threshold is where we take this step.

From the screen into the soil.

This is an invitation where we connect with
our own little piece of nature,
to learn practical skills, to sit with the land,
to listen, and to remember, and then to
share and be witnessed in community.

There will be easy to do craft skills taught.

There will be time to slow down and to be.

There will be moments of quiet, and moments of sharing.

There will be the opportunity to meet the plants not just in theory, but in relationship.

Our guides for this threshold time will be five plants that dwell along the hedges, woodland margins and field edges, places that are themselves natural thresholds in the landscape.

Through practical skills, folklore and plant spirit meditation, we will meet these plants as teachers who carry the medicine of edges and boundaries.

✨ Birch
✨ Nettle
✨ Blackthorn
✨ Hazel
✨ Bramble

Skillset offered:
• plant identification and harvesting ethics
• traditional uses and crafts
• folklore
• sensory awareness practices with the plants
• guided plant spirit meditation

The intention is to cross the threshold where practical skills meet the spirit of the plants.

✨ Each day includes two offerings, leaving plenty of space in between for reflection and time outdoors.

Enchanting simplicity ✨
In a world increasingly shaped by screens,
speed and constant scrolling, there is something deeply nourishing about returning to the simple intelligence of the hands.

Primitive technologies reconnect us with materials, patience and attention.
A stick becomes a tool,
a thorn becomes a fishing hook,
and the plants of the hedgerow reveal
their gifts and usefulness.

These practices remind us that the land around us is not simply scenery but a living storehouse of knowledge that humans have worked with for thousands of years.

Here, Sam crafted a beautiful scarf or hair pin from bramble and birch, shaped simply from the natural materials themselves. Handcrafted, elegant, and deeply rooted in the skills of the ancestors.

On Threshold, Sam will be sharing skills like this and more, offering a chance to rediscover the satisfaction of making something real with your own hands.

These small acts of making are not just practical. They are a way of stepping out of the noise of the digital world and back into relationship with the living landscape.

Threshold / þrescold / Tairseach 🌱⚖️🌻

For the Spring Equinox Sam and Sarah are building on the depth created in Wild Wintering &
The Quickening with
"Threshold / þrescold / Tairseach

Sam and Sarah will be working with the theme of the threshold, the liminal place where one state gives way to another.
The Equinox is a living edge between the quickening and the blossoming.

The Old English word þrescold (pronounced roughly thresh-old) is the ancestor of our modern English word threshold. The letter þ, called thorn, was used in early Germanic languages to represent the “th” sound. The word refers to the stone or timber set at the entrance of a house, the place one must consciously step across when entering or leaving.

In Irish the word tairseach holds a very similar meaning. It also refers to the crossing place, the boundary between inside and outside, between one space and another. In Irish tradition the tairseach was often treated as a sensitive place, a point where blessings were spoken and where care was taken when crossing, where permission from the more-than-human world was necessary.

Both words remind us that a threshold is not just a physical structure but a moment of transition, a place where awareness is required.

Our guides for this threshold time will be five plants that dwell along the hedges, woodland margins and field edges, places that are themselves natural thresholds in the landscape.

Through practical skills, folklore and plant spirit meditation, we will meet these plants as teachers who carry the medicine of edges and boundaries.

I have to admit that I was shocked when the legend that is applied for
but I think it's a testament to what the course can offer every individual, no matter what their background is. Amy already was already teaching for many years but a shared community was what she craved for some inspiration and kinship.

In this episode of the Oak & Willow podcast, I have such an amazing chat with Amy Russell. It's a rich, reflective conversation that weaves together yoga, shamanic healing, Irish spirituality, and the lived reality of being human in uncertain times.

The conversation moves gently through themes of shadow work, the evolving role of the healer, and the delicate balance between effort and surrender. There is a strong emphasis on trusting the process, honouring both light and dark, and allowing spirit to guide without bypassing the very real needs of the body and nervous system.

Amy Russell is a shamanic healer, spiritual mentor, yoga teacher, and medium rooted in West Cork, Ireland. She has spent over 25 years on the healing path, blending shamanic practices with yoga, meditation, and embodied self-worth work to support deep transformation and connection to spirit and body. Amy trained in shamanic and holistic modalities, including training in San Francisco at the Hargobind Ashram and in Peruvian and Celtic shamanic traditions here in Ireland. She is also a Reiki Master and trained in Advanced Integrative Energy Therapy, and she holds extensive experience teaching yoga, meditation, breathwork, and ceremonial practice. Amy facilitates retreats, workshops, private healing sessions, and longer mentorships that weave together ancestral connection, sacred site work, and personal practice. At the heart of her work is a commitment to helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom, body awareness, and spiritual resonance.

There are TWO ADVANCED TRAINING PLACES left and we begin on FRIDAY 6TH FEBRUARY

The Quickening 🌱
is a 28 day journey, shared through
a WhatsApp container.

Every second day, you’ll receive a morning
and an evening invitation that takes
just a few minutes a day to explore,
and is easy to integrate into ordinary life.

The pacing is slow and intentional,
offering space rather than pressure,
so the practices don’t become
another 'thing to keep up with'.

Through short written prompts for reflection, voice notes, videos of embodiment practices,
and more, you’ll be guided to reconnect
with yourself, with nature and
with the living rhythms of the land.

Practices may include journal prompts,
nature connection skills, meditation,
somatic and movement work,
herbal medicine insights, and
simple nourishment suggestions.

There’s no right or wrong way to engage.
You’re invited to meet yourself exactly
where you are, allowing gentle daily practices to support a natural stirring,
and a sense of sprouting with the spring.

As we move out of deep winter and into the first promise of lighter days, something begins to stir.
Beneath the cold ground, seeds are gathering energy.
Trees are preparing their first movements toward spring.
The land is readying itself.

The Quickening is a 28 day supported practice designed to help you reconnect with this moment of transition: the returning of the light, and the steady build of energy that comes before outward growth.

This is an ideal time to:

🌱 Nourish the seeds of new intentions, ideas, and ways of being

🌱 Prepare your body, nervous system, and inner landscape for brighter days ahead

Across the 28 days, we will be working with:

🌱 Nature connection practices rooted in seasonal awareness

🌱 Somatic and physical exercises to support energy, resilience, and grounding

🌱 Inner wilderness wanderings and guided reflections

🌱 Storytelling and wisdom drawn from the land and the turning year

🌱 We won't be forcing change, but the invitation is to listen and prepare, while aligning to what the natural world is doing now.

Join Sarah and Sam for this shared exploration.

18/12/2025

A series of upcoming collaborations with

& other nature-based practitioners, rooted in land connection, embodied practice, and a shared remembering of belonging within the living world.

On this coming Saturday & Sunday, Sam and I will give you some gentle tools for wintering with the Land. We'll gather online on Saturday to fill our toolkit and then head out on the land in our own time and place to put the skills into practice.
Then we'll gather again on Sunday evening online to integrate and share our experiences.

And I'm SO EXCITED that
in April, Sam, Steve, Vicky and I will be teaching skills to bring you into more comfort and connection while in the wild. This is a full weekend immersion into wild skills, stewardship and enjoyment, at the Riverhollow Nature Reserve in Co. Kilkenny.
