Circling the Sun and Moon: Ceremonies of Love and Sacred Mystery

• Venue: The Lodge, Staylittle, Wales
• Dates: 22 – 24 January 2026
• Facilitator: Annie Heppenstall + guest

As the deep quiet of winter wraps the land and the first light of the year begins to stir, we invite you to gather in circle for a retreat unlike any other, a soulful immersion into the ancient, Earth-honouring ways of marking time, place, and connection.

Rooted in the rhythms of the sun and moon, and in the sacred geometry of the directions, Circling the Sun and Moon calls you home to your soul’s centre. Over three days, we will share story, ceremony, stillness, and reflection, opening space to reconnect with the cycles that have guided humanity for millennia.

You’ll be guided to explore:

• How ancient and universal maps – like solstice cycles and compass directions – can offer grounding, meaning, and orientation in modern life

• Nature-based ceremonies that renew your sense of connection to self, community, and the Earth

• A deepened awareness of interbeing with the sacred presence that flows through all things

This retreat is both spacious and profound. Between meditative rituals, elemental connection, and shared storytelling, you’ll find moments for quiet contemplation, creative expression, and rich conversation. Held within a hearth-space of warmth, reverence, and love, it is an invitation to pause, listen deeply, and honour the mysteries that shape our lives.

Investment:

• £360 – OneSpirit Students (Birch & Cherry Tree)

The Sacred Art of Relating: Relationships and Presence as Spiritual Practice

• Dates: 14, 21, 28 January 2026 (evenings via Zoom)
• Facilitators: Monica Douglas + guest

At the heart of ministry, and indeed, of life, lies the way we relate: with ourselves, with others, and with the divine. The Sacred Art of Relating is an online offering that invites you to step into Conscious Communication as a living spiritual practice, one that nurtures presence, empathy, and wisdom in every encounter.

Over three evenings together, we will explore how to meet each person, moment, and conversation not just with skill, but with grounded awareness and sacred attention. Drawing on OneSpirit’s conscious communication framework, you’ll practise the art of showing up fully:

• Listening with the whole body

• Responding from presence rather than reactivity

• Meeting difference with humility, compassion, and clarity

Together, we will create a rich, relational space where communication becomes more than exchange, it becomes a sacred meeting place. Whether you are ministering, facilitating, or simply deepening your daily interactions, this module offers tools and practices to strengthen the heart of connection.

Investment:

• Free – OneSpirit Students (Birch & Cherry Tree)
• £120 – ROSIM members
• £150 – Non-ROSIM ministers

Healing Our Relationship with the More-Than-Human World

Venue: To be decided, stay tuned! 
Dates: To be announced, stay tuned!
Facilitator: Sarah MacDonald + guest

At the threshold of spring’s full blossoming, as the Earth moves through Beltane’s time of renewal and union, we gather to reconnect with the living world as sacred partner. This retreat invites us to move beyond “nature connection” into a reciprocal, embodied relationship with the Earth and all non-human life.

Through guided practices, including sit-spot meditations, somatic awareness, gentle movement, and creativity, we’ll explore:

• How we sense, feel, and communicate with the living world around us

• Ways to hold grief and longing for the ecological crisis while cultivating hope and renewal

• How ritual can offer healing, reconciliation, and gratitude between humans and the wider web of life

This retreat is experiential, spacious, and emotionally supportive, with built-in practices to help regulate and tend the nervous system. It offers a threshold for both personal renewal and deepening our ministry as Earth-conscious beings.

• Explore the balance between stillness and vitality in personal practice

• Connect with the seasonal energy of Beltane to inspire renewal and creativity

• Identify and gently navigate inner obstacles, bringing fresh energy to ministerial and personal paths

Each session weaves together ceremony, reflection, and peer connection, creating a supportive community space to deepen and sustain your spiritual life.
