“Penpynfarch is set up to develop a deeper understanding and care for the living body, alongside care for the
rhythms and needs of land . Set at the head of a steeply wooded valley, at the end of a road, it’s a unique place
to learn and work together, a place where a passionate care for the ecology of our lives infuses everything
that happens.” - Miranda Tufnell

Wild Woman Wise Woman retreats
with Jules Heavens.
The Heroine's Journey...
Working with the turning seasons, a variety of creative processes for self-enquiry, the energies associated with the divine feminine through the year and calling on both old and contemporary rituals to inform us, we remember and reclaim our wild and wise woman.
In recent years I have wanted to combine my more contemporary shamanic 'work' with forms from ancient rites or rituals to create and weave personal reflection and development with a connection to nature's changing year.
The energy and time of the Celtic fire festivals allows such an opportunity.
In these one day and weekend workshops we draw on the season to provide a mirror and catalyst for our own inner journey, honouring Mother Nature in the process. The circle invites you to take your heroine's journey of self transformation, walking the feminine path through the turning year.
Come and enjoy these fire festival events as a weekend or as a day at the beautiful venue of Penpynfarch near Carmarthen.

“Pen Pynfarch is a tender place to immerse oneself in the forest and farm land of Wales. This fecundity nourishes the senses and helps bring alive a naturally resonant community. It is a place quiet enough for creativity to flourish and in which the movements within the body find reflection in the natural world.”
- Caryn McHose, Resources In Movement, New Hampshire, US
"Penpynfarch is one of those rare places where improvisors working intensively can delve deeper into their personal journeys and public faces. The work in this safest of environments has ,over the past years been as deep and rich as the landscape that surrounds us. We have danced, laughed, cried, eaten (very well) played sumo on the beach and shouted at the sky
