.

​June 1st - 6th, 2021 ​
The Isles of Orkney, Scotland 

​You are invited to join us for a six day retreat to forge a healing sound vessel of high frequency.

This is a journey that invites you to come into your own resonance through Sound and with the Earth through the crafting and forging of a singing bowl and attunement to place. 

We will visit some of the powerful ancient sites of the Orkney isles and enter into ceremonies with with ancestors of past and future, land and sea. 

We will weave sound vibrational fields of Peace, Healing and Possibility creating ripples going both forward and backward in time.

Through the forging of these vibrational tools and sounding instruments in co-creation we anchor and exponentialize new potentials in physical form, influencing Futures, creating sound frequencies that will outlive us and generations to come.. 


What can emerge from the crafting of your singing bowl?

​
From the land, sea, stars and stones – the Alchemical Forge on Orkney

We have been shown that in the very northern lands a new flow of Earth energy is becoming available - an energy flow of a new way of being - emerging where there is less overlay of the trauma and drama that humanity is inflicting on itself and the Earth. 
 
You are invited to seed new worlds and bring them into being through your alchemical presence and through the incredible process of forging metal to birth new sound frequencies.

The islands of Orkney of the northcoast of Scotland hold incredible treasure:
The largest stone circles of the British Isles under a vast open sky, chambered Cairns – similar to Newgrange in Ireland, standing stones, ancient settlements and much more.
Recent archeological and spiritual findings suggest that a high culture of great magnitude existed in these islands –spreading out as far as Scandinavia and all across the British Isles, of which Orkney seemed to be the hub. This culture predates Egypt and might even have seeded Egypt as artefacts, symbols and other evidence found in Egypt could be traced back to Scotland and in particular Orkney.
​
Spiritual research has shown that the Orkneys were a vast galactic university  accessing information from many star-nations  that were involved in seeding the earth. We have seen that the original 60 stones of the Ring of Brodgar have been anchor points for pillars of light and portals of information.
Whether consciously or not – being on Orkney gives us access to our history and lineage way beyond the linear human history of our history books. Each of the stones and sites has the ability to trigger and unlock codes within us.

The invitation for this journey is not only to allow ourselves to receive and activate these codes but also to co-create with them – forging vibrational vessels / singing-bowls whose vibration will contain and activate this and more.

During this six day retreat we will spend three days visiting and receiving the energy of the land, the special sites, the standing stones, circles, cairns and initiation places and three days of forging an instrument – your own singing bowl in co-creation with the energies of time and place.

Engaging with the elemental beings of place and matter we enter into communion with the land and the sky, harmonised through the alchemy and the wonder of creation's dance. ​​
 
During these six days you have available to you a plentifold of assisting energies to support and allow you to Be the energy of that which you wish to create to bring into form, to shape and actualise new possibilities.

​You are welcomed to the timeless lands of Orkney.​

The Details

​Arriving in the afternoon of Tuesday 2nd June you will be warmly welcomed to a beautiful guest house - Woodwick House, Woodwick Bay, Evie, Orkney, KW17 2PQ.  Our host at Woodwick is Carola Soltau.

Our Venue
Woodwick is a large and very comfortable guest house.
