2 days to go ❤️

“For thousands of years humans have gathered around fire at midsummer. That pull you feel? It’s ancient.”

Cultures across the world have honoured the Summer Solstice for millennia, gathering in ceremony to celebrate, to release, to set intention and to step forward into the next chapter. We have simply forgotten that this is something we need.

On the 20th of June we are doing exactly that at Solfire in Newlands Valley near Keswick. Sacred drum journey, fire ceremony and the transformational firewalk. The firewalk is optional and every step of the evening is held gently, whatever you choose. Come and remember what it feels like to be fully alive.

4 DAYS BEFORE Introduction to Shamanism
21st June 2026

Have you ever felt drawn to the old ways, to nature, or to something deeper that is difficult to put into words?

Perhaps you’ve heard the word “Shamanism” before but never truly understood what it means, or maybe you feel called to explore your own spiritual connection in a grounded and meaningful way.

This day workshop offers a gentle and practical introduction to shamanic practice in a safe, supportive, and sacred space. Together, we will explore ancient practices that help us reconnect with ourselves, the natural world, and the unseen wisdom that surrounds us.

More than simply experiencing shamanic journeying, this workshop is designed to give you the understanding, confidence, and foundational tools to begin developing your own personal practice beyond the day itself. Our intention is that you leave feeling empowered to continue exploring, journeying, and deepening your connection in your own way and at your own pace.

Throughout the day, we will explore:

~ The foundations of shamanism — its history, principles, and core practices.

~ Guided shamanic journeying to connect with your power animal, spirit guides, and inner wisdom.

~ Journeying to the Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds, learning how these realms can offer guidance, insight, healing, and perspective.

~ Practical ways to begin weaving shamanic practices into everyday life, helping you create and nurture your own ongoing spiritual practice.

This workshop is open to complete beginners as well as those wishing to deepen an existing spiritual path. No previous experience is needed — only curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore.

Guided by Jen Maxwell & Jim “Wolf” Gardner

Jen Grange is a Celtic shamanic practitioner, empowerment coach, and firewalk instructor based within the ancient landscape of Cumbria.

“On the longest day of the year, we gather around the fire. And something ancient wakes up.”

The Summer Solstice has been honoured for thousands of years as a sacred turning point. A celebration of light, vitality and the ever turning wheel of life. There is something in us that still responds to that, that still knows this moment matters, even if we have forgotten why.

On the 20th of June we gather in Newlands Valley near Keswick in the heart of the Lake District for Solfire. An evening of shamanic drum journeying, sacred fire ceremony and the transformational firewalk, guided by Jen Maxwell and Jim Wolf Gardner. The firewalk is always optional and the whole evening is held with care, whatever you choose to do with it.

“Some rituals are older than memory. And when you step into them, something in you remembers why.”

There is something that happens when sacred smoke moves through a space and across the body. The nervous system softens. The mind quietens. The noise of the day begins to fall away. Smudging is one of the oldest cleansing and clearing practices known to humanity. Sage, cedar, palo santo, mugwort, sweetgrass, each culture has its own sacred plants and its own relationship with smoke as a carrier of intention and healing.

In shamanic practice it is not just a nice ritual. It is the beginning of something. A signal to yourself and to the unseen world that you are ready to show up, clear what has been and open to what is coming.

If watching this stirred something in you, that feeling is worth following. So many people who find their way to shamanic work describe it the same way, not as something they discovered but as something they were called to. We offer a one day introduction to shamanism for those who are curious, drum birthing for those ready to go deeper, and our full IPHM accredited shamanic practitioner training for those who know this is their path.

“The body always knows. We just have to get quiet enough to listen.”

We live in a world that rewards pushing through, speeding up, and numbing out. But your body has been sending signals the whole time, tension in your shoulders, the tightness in your chest, the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch. In 1:1 coaching we slow down and start to hear those signals together. In Reiki and shamanic training you learn to work with them, in yourself and eventually in others. Both paths begin in the same place: the decision to actually listen.
