For the Love of Words

with Writer and Priestess Kathy Jones

10th – 11th May 2025

Do you love words? Do you love writing, prose and poetry? Words are the way that we communicate ideas and information with each other. I love writing. It makes me happy. It is my craft, a skill I have honed over many years. I have written maybe 18 books, not sure how many, and have self-published because my books are not those generally accepted by publishers. I usually write on the margins between fact and fiction, you could call it faction.

Friday June 13th – Wednesday June 18th 2025

Montserrat is known as the ‘sacred mountain’ – a magical Otherworldly place located in the heart of Catalonia, Spain. It is a sacred site steeped in mysticism and has drawn millions of pilgrims for centuries.

During this pilgrimage we will be connecting deeply to the energies of the Black Madonna, and to the Great Mother Goddess. We will be exploring magical places, walking the ancient land, meditating, offering ceremony and opening ourselves up to receive divine wisdom and inspiration.

We will learn how to connect more deeply to our intuition, and to the cards. We’ll use creative ways to explore the 22 Major Arcana cards, and the four suits of the Minor Arcana, through story, colour and pattern. It will be experiential and fun!

A Journey into the Avalonian Mysteries

Start date: 27th/28th September 2025

Step into the tides of transformation and embark on a sacred journey through the Avalonian Mysteries. The Sea Priestess journey is an immersive, soul-deepening course that weaves the wisdom of the sea, the stars, and the sacred land of Avalon into a path of personal and spiritual awakening.

Rooted in the work of Dion Fortune and the teachings of my book The Way of the Sea Priestess, this course rekindles the ancient lineage of those who walk between worlds—the keepers of oceanic and celestial wisdom. Through ritual, mythology, and direct experience, we explore the deep connection between water, star lore, and the divine feminine as embodied in the Sea Priestess tradition.
