Radiant Brow
From seeker to keeper. A 12-day quest through the sacred Earth-based & Mystic pathways of Britain.
Myth, Animism, Ritual & Creative Practice.
(All are welcome who hear the call. Ancestry is not a barrier.)
The invitation
A 12-day journey for creatives and spiritual seekers in service to the Earth, called to reclaim the spiritual pathways of Britain, at home or in the diaspora. Releasing shame for where we're from & finding the magic of lineage and land.
You've looked around, gained guidance from far off traditions, and know that there's sooo much magic to uncover through your lineage, or simply underneath your feet.
BUT… It’s overwhelming, there are thousands of years to unweave, and you don’t know where or how to root. This is what Radiant Brow is for.
Radiant Brow is the name of the Welsh Bard who awakened to the mysteries of the universe, and became a record-keeper of his ancestral stories, the one they call Taliesin.
Join Now - Replays Available Immediately
Move beyond learning into becoming a keeper of Britain's wisdom traditions through the revival of the oral traditions, where we ask, 'what does it mean to be a bard today?' Here, you can go from passively consuming information about the sacred isles, to actually remembering and retaining what you discover, through embodiment practice.
Radiant Brow is a doorway into becoming a carrier of these wisdom traditions, so that you can share them with your family and community, enriching your life with what you discover. Weave with the tales born from the landscape and reclaim your role as a divinely inspired visionary, remember the magic within.
Can you relate?
"So much seems lost and hidden. I wanted to know who I was"
"I want to become a steward of ancestral wisdom"
"I have spent many years looking into different paths, but always as an observer. Always felt something was incomplete"
"Been longing and wondering.. struggling to sort out old ways and colonial bs"
"Feeling conflicted with the sense of appropriating something from a culture so different from mine"
From uprooted confusion to deep grounding and belonging
You will not only learn about the mythic landscape of Britain, but you will become a part of the living movement of reclamation.
You'll be invited into a Bardic imagination, a state of being that honours the depths within you while also perceiving and honouring the living world around you. This is animism as a lived practice, not a concept: learning to meet the land, the weather, and the animal kin who walk alongside you as active participants in your unfolding story.
We will explore this history while acknowledging Britain's colonial past and present, and hold space for decolonial ways of thinking and being in the modern world.
In Radiant Brow
Work with Awen, the ancient source of Divine Inspiration from Welsh mystic traditions, rising from the depths of Britain's otherworld.
Remember what it means to live alongside the wise elders of our animal kin through your imaginal realms.
You’re here to remember the cauldron of wisdom within you and all around you, so that you may dance through this life with courage, confidence, and mythic remembrance.

Stella Marie
I've spent the summer traveling the lands telling tales and sharing the Awen Mysteris of the Radiant Brow, people cherish this wisdom, they're hungry for the old lore... ready to be nurtured back home.
In 2018 I was preaching 'mother earth connection' while my practices were disconnected from my own ancestry, land and culture. I was born in the capital City of Wales with ancestors from England, Wales & beyond, and I currently live in the valleys as an artist, storyteller and facilitator. Back in 2018, my family owned a vegan health shop and I ran a wholesale crystal business, cleansing with foreign herbs & practicing rituals not of my lineage. Then I found a book on Celtic art in my university library. I began exploring Celtic lore, studying the history of this island, diving into ancestral and de-colonial healing... and well, here I am!
This endeavour began when I tapped into my grief and longing for the rich, mythic culture buried within the depths of my ancestors' suppressed historical past. I was brought up atheist and struggled with addiction and depression, until I went through an undeniable, awe inspiring spiritual experience that reminded me of how miraculously magical it is to be alive.
Currently, my work responds to the stories within the landscape and my local ecology in South Cymru, while exploring the enchanting world of Wales and Britain's ancient history, guiding people through story and embodiment into a deeper relationship with their landscape, their voice, and their creative potential. I'm currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Illustration and Animation, deep-mapping my local river, the River Taff, through animistic visual storytelling, researching similar traditions throughout time.
LET THE QUEST BEGIN
This is the self-paced replay version of the original live course. In a few sessions, Stella references a community chat that ran during the live rounds, that community isn't part of this version, but everything you need is in the lessons and resources themselves.
Throughout this journey, you'll hear mention of Rinwen, Stella's seasonal centre for those ready to go further, from seeker into keeper of Britain's sacred traditions.
You are here because you are ready to remember what it means to be alive within the mystery, reclaiming the stories and wisdom of the British isles.
in honour of our ancestors who knew, and the spirits that know
