Supporters Only
The sacred grove within the grove. A private space where the community gathers for live workshops, seasonal rituals, mentorship, scholar sessions, reading circles, and conversations that go deeper than any article ever could.
In the ancient world, the nemeton was a sacred clearing in the forest — a place set apart for ceremony, teaching, and communion. This is our digital equivalent: a living space where knowledge is shared, relationships are built, and practice is deepened together.
What Happens Here
The Nemeton is not a static archive. It is a rhythmic, seasonal programme of live events, guided practice, and genuine community. Here is what fills the calendar each month.
Monthly live video sessions led by archaeologists, folklorists, and practitioners. Topics rotate through sacred geometry, landscape reading, seasonal practice, nature-based meditation, and practical skills like dowsing and nature journaling. Workshops are recorded and added to the archive for members who cannot attend live.
First Saturday of each month, 3:00 PM GMT/BST
At each of the eight festivals of the Wheel of the Year, the community gathers online for a guided ceremony. These are not passive viewings — they are participatory rituals with guided meditations, shared readings, offerings, and reflections. Each ritual is crafted by the community elders and adapted to the energies of the season.
Eight times per year, aligned to the solar festivals
New members are paired with experienced community guides who help them navigate The Path. Mentors offer one-to-one support, answer questions about practice and study, and provide encouragement. The programme includes monthly group check-ins where mentors and mentees share their progress, challenges, and insights.
Ongoing, with monthly group circles on the third Saturday
Ask-me-anything sessions with leading academics, researchers, and practitioners. Past guests have included archaeoastronomers, Celtic historians, herbalists, and professional storytellers. These sessions offer a rare chance to ask direct questions of experts who are often difficult to access outside academic conferences.
Bi-monthly, typically the first Sunday at 4:00 PM
A monthly book club that works through key texts in folklore, mythology, landscape archaeology, and nature philosophy. Each cycle runs for four to six weeks, with structured discussion threads and a live session with the group at the end. Previous reads have included works by Robert Macfarlane, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Ronald Hutton.
Ongoing, with a live discussion every six weeks
Weekly guided meditation sessions rooted in nature-based and nature-based traditions. Practices include tree meditations, elemental attunements, ancestor journeys, and seasonal visualisations. Sessions last thirty to forty-five minutes and are led by experienced practitioners within the community.
Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM GMT/BST
Coming Up

Summer Solstice. The longest day. Peak of solar power.
First harvest. Gratitude for abundance and the skill of hands.
Autumn Equinox. The second harvest. Giving thanks, finding balance.
The thinning of the veil. Honouring ancestors and the unseen.
Winter Solstice. The return of the light. Rebirth from darkness.
One-to-One Guidance
Every new supporter is invited to join the mentorship programme. You are paired with an experienced community member who has walked The Path before you. Your mentor is not a teacher in the formal sense — they are a companion. Someone who has navigated the same courses, visited the same sites, and built their own seasonal practice.
Mentors offer guidance on course selection, help interpret difficult material, suggest sites to visit in your area, and provide accountability for building a regular practice. The relationship is informal and moves at your pace.
For those who have progressed to The Crown stage on The Path, becoming a mentor is one of the most meaningful ways to give back to the community.
Become a supporter and complete your profile. Tell us about your interests, experience level, and what you hope to learn.
Within a week, you will be matched with a mentor based on your interests and geography. Pairings are thoughtful, not random.
An introductory conversation — by video, phone, or message — to set expectations and discuss your path.
Monthly check-ins, shared reading, and ongoing support. Your mentor is available when you need them.
Deep Knowledge
Every two months, we invite a guest scholar, researcher, or practitioner to lead an in-depth session followed by open Q&A. These are not lectures — they are conversations. The intimacy of The Nemeton allows for the kind of direct exchange that large public talks cannot offer.
Archaeoastronomy & Callanish
The 18.6-year lunar standstill cycle and its relationship to the stone avenue and circle.
Ritual Landscapes of Wessex
