Come breathe into the abundance of the earth, giving gratitude for all that is.
The Celtic Fire Ceremony of Lammas, is the first day of the harvest season and traditionally a time to celebrate the earth’s bounty and give thanks. It marks the closing of the summer and a settling in to the season of late summer and the Earth Element. A wonderful opportunity to take time out and align yourself with the natural flow of energy around us and within us, allowing each of us to access greater vitality and health.
This will be a special ceremonial breath session honouring Lammas. We will begin with a simple shamanic Qigong Form to open the directions connecting to the elements within our bodies (earth, water, fire, air). And we will finish with a fire ceremony where we can intentionally let go of whatever we no longer need.
What to expect?
- We will begin with an opening breath awareness meditation to help you reconnect with your body and breath followed by a Shamanic Qigong practice to open the directions.
- I will then explain the technique, so we all know what to expect.
- Then lie down and get comfy and I will guide us through a 60 min Conscious Connected Breathwork journey, set to carefully selected music.
- Then it’s time for integration and heart-centred sharing
- We will close with a short fire ceremony in which we can intentionally let go of whatever we no longer need.
In these sessions we will use a simple breathing technique know as conscious connected breathing, this activates the nervous system and helps create new neural pathways in the brain. When we breathe in this pattern, we begin to enter into an altered state of consciousness which allows us to release stored emotions and trauma in both the physical and energetic body.
These are small group gatherings of up to 8-10 people, to keep it safe and intimate and no previous experience necessary.

The Celtic calendar/Wheel of the Year has eight festivals throughout the year with the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarters. It is my intention to hold a ceremonial breath journey for each festival, offering you the opportunity to connect to and honour both the wider and your own personal seasonal shifts throughout the year. Connecting to the wheel of the year can be a helpful way of making meaning; noticing, anchoring and grounding through the cycles and seasons of our wider body of nature and our interconnectedness.
