LADY OF THE LAKE: Dream Myth Mini-Retreats (four nights)

Cynghordy, Nr. Myddfai, Wales

Book now: 22sarahjanes22@gmail.com

Dates: NOVEMBER 7 - 11 and JANUARY 9 - 13

I've booked the most positively dreamy and cozy place for two four-night deep dream myth mini-retreats in the heart of Wales!

This retreat will explore the mythologies and mysteries that surround the figure of the Lady of the Lake, and the local physicians of Myddfai.

We will be working with myth, writing and painting, we will be drinking the mythic spring of the legendary healers of ancient Cymru and dreaming with the land.

One of the best things about our cottage is that you can take the amazing Heart of Wales railway line - one of the most scenic lines in all of Europe! I always think trains are the best way to travel in dreaming. The train stop is Cynghordy - means "House of Meeting" in Welsh.

This is also a nice opportunity to have a proper digital detox, which I am 100% encouraging, part of my decision to choose this particular part of Wales! Phone reception and wifi is often blocked by the rugged landscape and this will really help to deepen presence thorugh waking life and dreaming.

Cost includes: Private accommodation, all food - local and wholesome produce - we will make our meals together, a dream incubation kit (includes herbal tea, Lady of the Lake dream incubation guided audio journey and a weighted herbal eyemask).

Cost: £580 - £450 for previous retreat attendees

DREAMUSEUM: A Guided Dream Journey Around The British Museum
Friday November 15th 2024
British Museum
11am - 4pm

DREAM INCUBATION KIT
All ticket holders will also receive a link to Auset: Queen of Dreams a hypnagogic dream incubation audio track and a dream incubation practice kit which includes a handmade herbal weighted eye mask and my aphrodisiac lucid dream tea (Afroditea) made from herbs from my perfumed dream garden in Epidavros, Greece. Aphrodisiac herbs are excellent for lucid dreaming, they create a peaceful, pleasurable bodily state - this invites pleasant dreams, often with hints of love and eroticism, which in turn encourage more vivid dream scenes, lucidity and therefore better recall. Lucid dreams do not evaporate upon waking.

PAYMENT
£80
Payment can also be made by sending £80 via PayPal to sarah@awakeandaway.co.uk || BM Tour.
Please be sure to include your email address on the order so I can send you the audio track.

Join me at 11am (bottom of the stairs in the Great Court) for six hours exploring all things dream-related at the British Museum. Bring a packed lunch and sketch book - make new dream pals and come and honour the gods and goddesses of sacred sleep.

I have spent a couple of decades exploring, recording and regularly visiting the various artifacts, statues, scrolls, spells and charms held by the British Museum that relate to the dreamworld as well as interview many ancient history specialists, Egyptologists, Assyriologists, religious studies researchers and cultural historians, academics, scholars and practictioners. I have written about much of this in my book - Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne

This tour will introduce you to as many of them as possible.
