About this Event
Gather in a friendly group with Lynette, The White Witch of Wiltshire, and Artist, Tamsin Loveday for this gentle, crafty workshop celebrating Winter Solstice.
We will weave festive wreaths of seasonal foliage while learning about circle magic and Winter Solstice traditions whilst sipping warm spiced apple juice and nibbling festive treats.
This workshop is an opportunity to bring some creative joy to your celebration and make something truly personal imbued with your intentions.
Lynette will lead us in a short welcoming and cleansing ritual to create a safe space and help us to set our intentions. She will talk a little about Solstice and circle magic, to set the scene. Lynette will guide us in setting intentions and share information about colours and symbols of the festival.
Tamsin will demonstrate the process of weaving your wreath and support all creative aspects of the workshop, making sure that we all have everything we need for a safe and companionable evening of crafting.
Refreshments, materials and eventbrite fees are included in the ticket price.
