The Elder Path Carrying forward the wisdom of the land The Elder Path is a gentle gathering rooted in old ways, quiet knowledge, and deep connection to land and lineage.

It is a space for remembering—where practices shaped by seasons, soil, fire, and story are brought back into living use.

Guided by nature’s rhythms and the wisdom passed down through generations, The Elder Path offers workshops and circles that honour traditional calendars, mindful living, ancestral skills, and the healing presence of the natural world.

These are not lessons hurried or fixed, but experiences shared slowly, with care, respect, and intention.

Here, the land is teacher. Memory is valued. Stillness has purpose.

Each gathering invites participants to step out of the noise of modern life and walk a steadier path—one shaped by awareness, balance, and belonging. The Elder Path is for those who feel drawn to older rhythms, who sense that wisdom lives in hedgerow and hearth alike, and who wish to carry something meaningful forward—into their lives, their families, and the future.

TASSIOGRAPHY – TEA LEAF READING CLASS ~ An ancient art, revived.

Age 16 and over

By popular demand — and after so many people asking for another session — I’m delighted to be hosting another Tassiography Tea Leaf Reading class. Step back in time and discover the ancient art of tea leaf divination, once practised in manor houses and kitchens alike. In this relaxed and welcoming class, you’ll learn how to read the cup and interpret the tea leaves, uncovering symbols, stories, and messages — before practising by reading for each other. No experience needed Hugely popular and perfect for beginners A beautiful blend of learning, intuition, and shared discovery Tea, coffee, juice, and delicious cake are included, enjoyed in good company within the historic setting of the manor — where time slows and conversation flows. These classes fill quickly, and this one has been added due to demand — so if you’ve been meaning to join, now is the time
