ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING CORONA VIRUS 19:

Laetitia and Cassandra are now able to provide workshops at a social distance. From now on, any indoor activities will be in St Buryan Village hall.

Take time out from your usual life and any stressful situations by attending a spiritually nourishing weekend in the depths of West Cornwall. Visit a Wisewomen’s mystical village and experience their work.

For feedback on past Workshops visit the Testimonials page.

We have shortened the length of our workshops, (which includes a lower fee) so that they are one-day workshops instead of two. All aspects of our previous workshops remain by keeping then to a timed schedule. We advise workshop attendees to arrange for childcare as we are unable to allow young children at these events. Anyone who attends a workshop must at least 16 years of age (unless a child above the age of 12 is accompanied by an adult).There is no obligation to attend these workshops in order, or do all of them, choose the ones that resonate with you. 

The first person to book a particular date decides on the workshop that will be assigned to it.

Please note that deposits paid to secure your place are non-refundable.
