The intense spirituality is felt from the moment you turn in the gates and drive up the cool shaded driveway. The short drive to the carpark carries promise of peace and mystery. Steeped in ancient history and some of the most diverse plants and and trees in the UK there is a magical and spiritual aura permeating the 11 acres of woodlands. Claire, the owner, is passionate about her beautiful woodlands and makes you feel welcome from the first moment you meet her.
Children under 16 come free with an adult and need to be supervised at all times - there is 11 acres of woodlands and we wouldn't want to lose a child.
There is ample parking space and toilet facilities.
We have disabled toilets, level access into Basecamp Café and a ramp to the terrace area.
We will send detailed instructions about what to expect during the evening with ticket purchase.
The Importance of the RitualAccording to Ancient Yogic Wisdom the souls of Three preceding generations of ones ancestors reside in the Pitru-loka realm between heaven and earth. It is said that when we honour and remember our Ancestors during this time, they bestow health, love, wealth, knowledge and longevity; and ultimate heaven and salvation (moksha). This is the time to repay our debts to our ancestors and it is one of the most important debts we must repay in this lifetime. It is believed that during this period our Ancestors come down to earth to bless us and clear our paths.
Who would benefit from the fire ritual? This is important for people facing challenges in their lives difficulty in their relationships, family issues, finding it difficult to meet the right person or a history of failed relationships. Are you trying to find the right career; at a crossroads in your professional life or at a loss as to what would suit your talents or skills. Financial issues: those who are struggling to meet monthly expenses or pay off debts or money management or money issues. Mental health issues: finding a balance in life and creating harmony in life.
