Our Guest Teachers
DRUID LORE
Chris Park
Chris Park is a Druid and artist immersed and versed in the lore and wisdom traditions of the Isles of Britain and Europe.
He lives in a luxurious hedge with a wayward family surrounded by beehives on organic farmland in the Vale of the White Horse, U.K. There he researches and teaches old ways and new, incorporating experimental archaeology, woodland crafts and organic architecture.
A prolific beekeeper, he teaches skep making, skep-beekeeping, mead making and apitherapy, lecturing to beekeeping associations and other societies upon related subjects. Often seen extolling the virtues of honeybee medicines.
He is of Welsh, English and Scottish heritage, with over twenty five years experience of druidry, cunning-folk and craft practices, and has been an active member of the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids since 1997. He hosts ceremonies and gatherings in a sacred grove at home. With different hats on he is a professional storyteller, a musician, celebrant and ceremonial piper.
HONOURING THE DEER
Jessie Watson Brown
Jessie Watson Brown is a traditional hide tanner, ancestral crafter, educator and ceremonial space holder. Her roots are deep in the granite and mossy land of Dartmoor, Devon – where she grew up and continues to live and work. A landscape full of lithic reminders of those who came before, creative community, and ecological riches – all of which inspire her work.
Jessie’s work weaves together craft and nature-based skills with heart, ceremony and animism. Her offerings focus on honouring life and death, remembering the skills of our ancestors and stepping into our place in the web of life with responsibility, practical reciprocity and a deep commitment to unlearning colonial ways. She is particularly guided by the Deer as teachers, trail-makers, beauty-bringers and by their abundant generosity.
For 10 years Jessie has run a small hand-scale tannery in a stone barn on the moor – tanning mostly deer skins with natural ancient techniques using tree barks, smoke and fats. Jessie sees tanning as a gateway to relationship and kinship with the more-than-human world.
CELTIC CHANTS & SPIRITUALITY
Aoife Lowden
Reverend Simon Ruth de Voil is an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister, trained to be a sacred presence outside the conventions of traditional religion. As a sacred musician, spiritual mentor and worship leader he incorporates chant, ritual, storytelling and mindful practice to create a space for profound connection and sacred witness. Simon provides music for worship, ceremony, and prayer in a wide variety of churches and non-religious spiritual communities. He particularly loves to create music for meditation, healing services, and rites of passage.
Simon is also an experienced workshop and retreat leader, drawing on 15 years of study, training, and practice that grew from his time living and working in Iona Abbey. Although influenced by many traditions, Simon’s spiritual path and teaching is deeply rooted in Celtic Christianity, the wisdom of the earth, and in the Scottish land where he’s spent most of his life.
WEAVING IN REVERENCE
Rosemary Riedel O'Brien
Rosemary Riedel O’Brien is a multi disciplinary Artist specialising in hand spinning, weaving and natural dye techniques.
Rosemary’s work is inspired by the Earth and her elements. She works with heritage slow craft processes to combine ethical materials, spirituality and creativity- an alchemical combination that forms the foundations of her bespoke textiles and workshops that are rooted in reverence.
In 2019 Rosemary completed a 6 month Hand Spinning and Weaving apprenticeship at the Bright Moon studio with Artist Maker Imogen Bright Moon, in South-Eastern England. She has since gone on to create a number of seasonal collections and offer weaving tuition and weekend craft rituals.
She has been working consistently with commissions since completing her apprenticeship. Her unique approach emphasises the importance of the intention, symbolism and hidden meaning that each hand woven textile can represent within a persons life.
She lives near Dartmoor, England and continues to deepen her practice.
