Empowerment of the Crone
Empowerment of the Crone
with Kathy Jones
Explore the Rich Wisdom of Crone as Goddess and within ourselves, in actuality or potential.
Start Date 5th/6th October 2024
Within our societies the Crone as Woman, as Archetype and as Divinity, is almost completely ignored. As woman the Crone is invisible, grey-haired, wrinkled and old, easily dismissed as we walk past her in the street. Yet Cronehood is women’s time of greatest Wisdom in Life, for we have lived through time. We have loved and lost. We have succeeded and failed. We have descended into the depths and risen to the heights. We have grown as human beings. We have experienced life with all its variety and wonder and we have perspective.
Embodied Birth Experience

Sacred Birth Centre and Lady of Avalon
Online Training
With Freya Rose Birch
This training is a 13-week journey towards an embodied birth experience. You will gain the wisdom and embodiment you need to ecstatically birth your baby. This course is for those who desire to tell a new story about birth and liberate their lineage.
On Embodied Birth Experience, you will learn tools for creating presence during pregnancy and birth to increase connectivity with your baby and create a more euphoric experience.
Through this journey, I will give you the tools to liberate your lineage through deep womb work, whilst also healing and transforming any previous trauma you may be storing in your body, mind, womb or psyche, including birth trauma (being born and previous births).
The training is for heart-centred, soulful women who desire to align with birth as a spiritual, embodied & ecstatic experience.

Start date: 5th/6th October 2024>
In this Two Spiral, Two Year training we will be entering Gaia’s womb, reclaiming that which we have forgotten or lost by connecting and working with Her energies. We will walk Her land as our ancestors once did following her trackways, ley lines and waters to discover Her wisdom and what She holds for us. We will be using Her gifts of crystal, flowers, herbs, woods, waters and air to aid both our own healing, the healing of others and Gaia herself.

Priestessing/Priesting the Underworld
with Priestess Healers Sally Pullinger and Sophie Pullinger
Retrieving, Reclaiming and Reintegrating the Treasures Hidden Deep Within Your Soul
Start date: 18th/19th January 2025
In this Two-Year, Two Spiral course Priestesses Sally Pullinger and Sophie Pullinger offer you a way to work in your hidden places of wounding and pain to transform them into a resource of wisdom and resilience. Our places of darkness and suffering, when worked with consciously, are the foundation of our personal power.
This is a certificated course. In Spiral One, completion of the course affirms that you have become Priestess/Priest of Your Own Underworld. In Spiral Two you are supported to learn the skills to facilitate others in becoming Priestess/Priest of Their Own Underworld, as you become a Priestess/Priest of The Underworld.
In the context of the work being presented by Sally and Sophie in this course, the ‘Underworld’ is where we store all that we hide for various reasons, all that is often unseen or even invisible to ourselves and/or others. These are often the parts of ourselves that hold the most pain. Our work will be to bring our whole selves to see, understand and heal these unresolved places.
Soul Healing
Soul Healing
With Karin Persons
Intensive Healing Training Course
Starts 14/15/16 February 2025
Soul Healing is a subtle and powerful form of energetic healing, that works with the energies of the whole person, with the physical and energetic bodies, the emotions, thoughts, personality and soul, to help bring us back from the state of dis-ease to a state of ease and well-being.
The word Healing is used in the sense of ‘making whole’, of redressing imbalances that have built up in the emotions, mind and body. Soul is that part of us which is eternal, invisible, spiritual and filled with universal love, which connects us to each other, to the divine and all life.
Priestess of Avalon Training
Priestess and Priest of Avalon Training
with Kit Crowther, Luna Silver and Kathy Jones
Start date: 26th/27th October 2024
In ancient times the role of a Priestess or Priest of the Goddess was recognized as a Sacred Calling, a life lived in service to Goddess within one of Her Sacred Temples, found all around the world in many different cultures. The majority of those Goddess Temples were destroyed when patriarchal forces took over the world thousands of years ago.
Thankfully Goddess is returning to our awareness. She is once again being recognised as Divine Source and Great Mother of All. Many women and some men are beginning to re-member and re-claim an ancient path of devotion and service to Goddess. Communities and Temples of Goddess are being built anew in Her world, allowing people to come together to learn who Goddess is, to celebrate Her, to recreate Her Sacred Sanctuaries and to experience Her wonderful loving nature.

As the world is transforming and more people are awakening, we feel that we are all being asked to step up and co-create the future we dream of. For us this starts with how we bring our children into the world and importantly how we educate them.

A visual exploration of the many and varied landscape and built Temple spaces in which Goddess has been honoured, experienced and worshipped throughout the ages. Kathy presented her ideas of the ways in which Goddess was beloved by the peoples of ancient European lands as shown through the Temples and Sacred Spaces which were created for Her in many different cultures. These Temple spaces were found everywhere up to the ending of the Neolithic era, and modified and changed as patriarchal values entered in. Most are now in ruins.
Remembering Koko
It seems impossible that ten years have passed since Koko died so suddenly and she is sadly missed, not only by everyone involved with the Goddess Temple here but by the many friends she made on her travels and by guests at Pilgrims B&B, otherwise known as the Priestess House. Koko brought so many of her gifts to our Goddess world and even now inspires us: we’re creating a new section on this website to honour our Foremothers… please click below to read on.
