Align with Nature & Living Ecology of the
Celtic Medicine Wheel
13 Month/13 Moon Immersion
28th October 2023 - 15th November 2024
Overview
The universe works in circles and spirals, the spinning of the Earth on its orbit, which brings the cycles of day and night, the moon and seasons, life and death. Many ancient traditions have their medicine wheel based on the land that they were living. The Native American Medicine wheel is the best known, however the Celtic Medicine Wheel relates to the elements, seasons, trees, animals and wisdom of the lands in Ireland, Scotland, Britain and much of Europe.
Taking a 13 month/moon cycle through the Celtic Medicine Wheel with meditation, movement, ritual, breathwork, sound and nature connection. We will explore the living ecology with each direction, element and season, how we can integrate this direction into our life as part of nature for guidance, healing and alignment. Become deeply connected to the cycles of nature, which is already innate in you and necessary for the reprogramming that is required for living in the New Earth.
This will bring a greater focus with nature and source in everyday life, as well as the ability to access the medicine wheel like a map for rebalancing when you are confused, stuck, in need of guidance or healing. These can be applied to many aspects of life including personal growth, work, projects, family and relationships.
Centre
Spirit. Source. Heart. Protection. Space
Spirit exists in all things, often represented in circles and spirals. It relates to space which can be related to all around us, the sacred space within our hearts, or creating sacred space in a location. The interconnectedness of ourselves and all beings, the doorway into the heart beyond the physical and includes all of the elements.
East
Air. Mental. Breath. Communication. Spring.
East relates to the element of Air, the mental realm, our childhood and can bring us the gifts of inspiration, clarity, communication, change and new beginnings. Air can bring a whisper of insight and guidance or the force of truth to clear the way for new paths to emerge. We will connect the season of Spring and Imbolc, the celebration of the beginning of Spring in the Celtic calendar as well as the peak at the Spring Equinox cross-quarter day.
South
Fire. Passion. Truth. Creativity. Summer
South relates to the element of Fire, the spiritual realm, our youth and can bring us the gifts of purification, protection, creativity and manifestation into action. The fire also teaches us about the warmth of our hearts. We will connect to the season of Summer, Beltane, the celebration of the beginning of Summer in the Celtic calendar as well as the peak at the Summer Solstice.
West
Water. Flow. Emotions. Compassion. Autumn
West relates to the element of Water, the emotional realm, our adulthood and can bring us the gifts of feeling, cleansing, healing and compassion. The west connects us to the sacred waters, our blood, our ancestors and teaching us to flow through life. Water can be a calm, still lake or the strong current of a waterfall to bring about movement and change. We will connect with the season of Autumn, Lammas, the celebration of the beginning of Autumn in the Celtic Calendar as well as the peak at Autumn Equinox.
North
Earth. Physical. Abundance. Wisdom. Winter. North relates to the element of Earth, the physical realm, our elder years and can bring us the gifts of abundance, grounding, strength and wisdom.

Main Facilitator: Tara
Tara is a Celtic Woman, Alchemist, Ceremonial Facilitator & Mystic. Living in devotion and working with the soul, psyche & soma to guide the return to alignment with source, truth & wholeness. Reclaiming Sovereignty & the Rites of Passage through Birth, Life and Death that assist in our navigation as a human being with our soul’s evolution.

In deep communion with the plants and animals of the lands of Ireland and Scotland since a very young age. I was also very drawn to ritual and meditation with the elements from my mid-teens. I later studied the South & Native American Medicine wheels with the Edinburgh Shamanic centre.
However, it really came to life for me when I began to connect more with the Druidic or Celtic ways and I am grateful to the teachers and elders who have supported me in allowing these roots to expand into the branches that I can share with others. It is a passion of mine to move beyond concepts or ritual but bring a living ecology to everyday life and apply ancient technology to the New Earth.

'Within the loving and safely held container of Sacred Space, I work in a very gentle, grounded and intuitive way, with those who are ready to reconnect with themselves through the breath. This potent practise helps us to let go of the 'story' and to bring the focus back to the body, to enable the release of emotional/energetic blockages, to clear imprints, reclaiming that inner power and our own unique, innate ability to heal ourselves. I am a passionate advocate for Conscious Connected Breathwork, which has been an important part of my own healing journey.
I have also been walking other medicine wheels for a good few years now and the depth of connection that brings is also an important part of this work and has made my own journey so rich.
Common Questions
Can I pay in installments?
Yes we have options for you to create a payment plan of 9, 13 or 18 months. Do get in touch if you find that you need to make an alternative arrangement.
Can I join from another part of the world?
Yes although we do our best to make the calls accessible as possible for all timezones, all calls will be recorded. Although the Celtic Wheel may not apply to the land that you are on e.g. Americas, Australia or Asia it can be easily accessible for those with Irish, Scottish, British or European ancestry or lineage. This can be especially helpful for finding roots or an internal rhthym that may have been forgotten.
If in the Southern Hemisphere, although the seasons and calendar points will be different, it is best to follow in the order we are sharing to begin with whilst journalling the differences in the plants/animals/landscape/environment that you are living.
What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?
This is a dynamic Breathwork practice and it has the power to create transformative and positive change in our lives. Connecting consciously with our breath, brings us into embodied awareness, and can help us access places within our body where we may store past traumas, energetic and emotional blockages, stuck patterns and limiting beliefs, which can then be felt, acknowledged and processed. Through connection with our bodies through the breath, we will breathe into the elements present within us as we move around the wheel, and so embodying the energies and wisdom of each direction and each element.
