Callanish Lunar Standstill Retreat
Isle of Lewis
7pm Friday 21 March - 12 noon Monday 24 March 2025
​
I started writing the It is Written in the Stones Story Practitioner course this year and set the start date to Summer Solstice. The course was strangely guided by a synchronicity. Well, then I went along to Callanish, one of the stone sites for direction West in September. The ferries meant that I could only go there and back in a small window. I got a cancellation on AirBnB last minute, 10 minutes from the stones.
​
As soon as I drove onto the island I could feel pulsations. They didn't stop and I was awoken in the night by one of the most supernatural events I have ever experienced, and I have had a few! I know for certain why the stones are equated with giants. Well, I drove over to the East to the recumbent stones of Aberdeenshire next, and it was only when researching them that I discovered that there was a major Lunar standstill (every 18.6 years) and that it began on Summer Solstice and that I had met the new moon window building up to the Equinox when I had been on Lewis.
​
Well, I am going back for the March standstill and have booked accommodation and workshop space for twelve people.
​
It is a writing and filming retreat (I will be making a short film of the event too). We will work with the It is Written in the Stones practitioner material and there will be plenty of free time to roam the island.
You will need to book your ferry and there will be meals and snacks included but you will have self catering facilities too. If you are bringing a car please indicate as I will need to organise car shares for those not driving.
The cost of the workshop including accommodation for single room is £600 and for a shared room (two sharing) is £525 or for couples sharing the double bed for a single room £500. Non-returnable £175 deposit payable on booking. All payments need to be paid in full by 14 February 2025.
