Pack your bags for a major field trip through the  magical lands of England, Scotland, and this year for the first time, Ireland. 

This year we will be presenting sessions in Edinburgh, the Universal Hall in Findhorn, the Big Shed at Loch Tay, locations to be announced in Fife, Edinburgh and the Borders, Hebden Bridge Sanctuary in Hebden Bridge, Sambogaya Retreat Center in Glastonbury, the Scout Hut in Bristol, and Goddess-willing, a to-be-determined hall in Southwest Ireland.

During these one, two, three, four and six-day Immersions in the UK, we work with particular themes (to be announced), and:

• Inner-directed self guided fluid movement through the Body supported by Thought and Feeling and Sensation, Word and Witness and Music
• Silence and Stillness and Sound
• Spontaneous Ceremony, Ground and extraordinary Breath
• Mindful touch with more and less contact with partners, always optional based on your level of comfort, sense of safety and desire

Colleen and Fred’s relationship to the United Kingdom began at the beginning of this century, when Jane Virginia, on a month’s long visit to see her daughter and two sons in Southern California, landed in a Medicine Dance session in Santa Monica. For the next ninety days, Jane engaged in everything Medicine Dance. By the time she was ready to return to her small rural village in Northumberland, England, she expressed desire to share the work with an existing group of her women friends. They had been regularly studying Qi Gong and Matriarchal Studies together. Fast forward to 2008 when Colleen asked Jane if her chums would like to immerse themselves in a 5-day version of the work.

The warm worn timbers of Bolton Village Hall have been home base for our yearly sojourn to the UK for the past 15 years, hosting our flagship 6-day program scheduled around Beltaine, an ancient celebration of fire, fertility, and rebirth. This year, beloved Bolton Village Hall will lay fallow.
