Saturday May 17th – Monkton Wyld. Kit returned to the amazing holistic centre Monkton Wyld, near Lyme Regis in Dorset for a course on Sacred Trees. Kit was last there five years ago and was given a very warm welcome by the new management team. Sadly Glennie Kindred who was supposed to lead the course was ill, but Nik and Jo of Woodwize stepped in and were really brilliant. And it turns out, Jo is a great Stonewylde fan herself! Kit spent a wonderful couple of days learning more about the Ogham (the Celtic alphabet based on trees), walking around the beautiful grounds discovering all the different trees and experiencing their special energy, and working with wood to create wands and wooden pebbles. It was a truly magical weekend and Kit made many new friends amongst fellow participants.
