Dearest Relatives
We would like to welcome you to another day in our Medicine in an historic space in Boscastle in beautiful Cornwall. On this day we will continue the series of teachings that have been passed to us both in a good way as pipe carriers from our well known Elders.
Our next date will be Jan 17th tickets will be available at or message team in person.
https://buytickets.at/lornacoulson/
We will look again at a basic Medicine Wheel and begin to understand about our connection with all that is.. We will look at Celtic Wheel as well as the Wheels of our teachers.
This time come with us on a visit to the North of our Medicine Wheel as we invite the Medicine of the North as the light returns, we share, sing and drum. We will invite Otter Horse and Buffalo medicine in to our circle. As the north is a place of connecting with the ancestors we will spend a little bit of time thinking about those. Bringing the ancestor song we will thank the good ancestors and be offered the opportunity to commit to being a good ancestor for those in our lives after us.
We are all related in our connection with Mother Earth and all the beings upon her. We will sing and drum to honour her. Weather permitting we will sing outside as well as inside in circle.
We will offer dulcimer, flute and drum. We offer a sweet meditative journey and will invite you connect with our medicine instruments rattles, flutes and drums. You will be able to connect with Dreamweaver and join her heartbeat.
You will receive a grounding oil roller blended for the North and learn (or revisit) our Breath of the Directions ceremony.
We will be offering another medicine tool for you to craft.
We will be open to being responsive as the day expands.
This work fuses all of our decades of training as we invite people to join us in ceremony. We are thrilled to have come home to each other.. come join the circle.. we are told “the space we create also feels like coming home”.
We had a fantastic response to our work in Cornwall last year so do book early as we only have 20 spaces. Tickets here or in person by cash if you are near us.
Why not come along for a deeper dive into the whirlpool of life…
The team.
Elders Carole and Lorna both apprenticed under auspicious Medicine Elders and are Pipe Carriers.
Carole has been working in the Medicine for many decades. She has assisted on many women’s circles, finally being passed the Pipe and leadership role by her late Elders. She now embraces the Grandmother role given to her by Eliana Harvey and Ashera. (Their work can be found in the oracle cards of Elder Wa-Na-Nee-Che the “White Eagle Medicine Wheel “).
Having worked in the Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft Carole also has a deep understanding of the magic (and trauma) of the village we are honoured to be working in.
Lorna is honoured to carry Eagle Medicine passed on by her sibling who adopted her as Metis- the international teacher Elder Chief Sandy Dancing Two Eagle Spirit. This was ratified by BC Metis Nation with a Metis Sash from them .
Lorna has worked in many settings, running 5 decades of circles. These have been in educational, Spiritual, mainstream and Mental Health Settings. Passed on from her late Aunt, She has been connecting with her Scots Clans medicine with the Cailleach and the work of diving deep into the whirlpool and surviving the tough times. Lorna also carries Golden Eagle medicine from her homeland of Argyll. Taught in “Canada” by Sandy, she is a drum maker and keeper of many drums. Drums will be available to borrow on the day and for sale. Lorna is an ordained member of Refreshing Ministries, a group to celebrate and embrace diversity and inclusion in Spiritual settings.
Investment in you!
We offer a low starter price of £40 and a £60 gifting price. If you can afford more, please consider helping our work as we do many community things for free and have stepped out in faith to do this work.
Bring… lunch for yourself, blanket and cushion, notebook and pen. Hand drum if you have one, for those who have not yet found their drum sibling, we will bring our drums to use and to offer for sale.
We will bring hot drinks and some cake and biscuits. Please bring safe snacks/ drinks if you need these. We will have herbal teas.
Allergies and other self care.
If you have allergy issues tell us in advance. We cannot guarantee an allergen free environment. This is for food and drink but we also use oils and burn sage in our ceremonies so the attendees use all at their own risk. We work with hide drums. Booking is considered an acceptance of these conditions.
Self care and care of others
Whilst we have decades of trauma work experience, and the workshop will be gently run, this is not a disclosure space so please be careful what you share as you will not know the ability of others attending to hear difficult experiences. Please inform us if you are struggling on the day.

In this well-loved workshop, we will take some time out to explore our deep connection with Grandmother Moon and Mother Earth. How do we flow with the Moon? How do these beauties guide us? How can we hold on to this on tough days? How do we heal?
We will be using song, drumming, mediation, and some personal reflection time for internal inquiry into your relationship with Grandmother Moon. You will be passed the medicine of Lorna’s Grandmother Moon Song. We will be blessed with the Eagle and Moon Medicine passed to Lorna by her First Nations Sister and Teacher.
We have acquired some strong crystals from a good source. We will be using these in meditation and ceremony during this workshop. Women may use them in personal ceremony going forward. We will also work with a Moon essence oil which will be gifted to take home.

Drums are just a part of what we bring...
We offer lots of different experiences and they do not all include drums.

With the gentleness of experience we work with bereavement.
Grief and loss work is a big part of what we do.
End of life work and ceremony - personal or for a family or group.
Long term grief work and buried grief work carry on long after a loved one has passed.
Loss can come in many forms and we have ceremonies and workshops to offer alongside one to one work.

Elder work
Through teachings from childhood we consider it an honour to work with Elders in our community and try to make our sessions accessible. Our drumming has been highlighted nationally at Dementia Conferences.
We value this work even more as the drums have supported our family at times.

Connect with our First Nations friends in Canada.
Cultural exchange is at the centre of Celebrate Your Heartbeat… we have received so much from our friends in Canada. We try to give back what we can and awareness raising about 1000s of the children lost at the residential schools is one of our projects. Orange shirts day is on the 30th of September and in Canada people wear orange shirts to remember the children who died. We stand with our friends as children remains are being recovered around the residential schools run by the church and the government over the past 100 years.
