Kim Butts

Kim is a forager, wild crafter and natural health She has spent the last 8 years living in community, on land and off grid. She holds a deep connection to the land, the old ways and enjoys simple living. Most of her off grid life has been devoted to leaning about foraging, wild medicine & crafts.

Kim is a trained naturopathic nutritionist, runs regular foraging and wild craft workshops and can mainly be found in the woods or a hedgerow. She is passionate about bringing people back to connection with the land, wild and foraged foods and crafting with her own unique Welsh Wisdom.

Foraging Walk & Nettle Crafting

Foraging: Walk the land with Kim and discover the wild foods and medicines that grow in the hedgerows and woodland of Coed Hills. This workshop will introduce you to native edible and medicinal plants of Cymru and the traditions that surround them.
Together we will slow down and awaken the senses — tasting, touching, smelling and listening to the wisdom of the land. Rooted in the old ways of living close to nature, this workshop is an invitation to remember the deep relationship between people, plants, and place.

Nettle: For thousands of years, nettle has been honoured across these lands as a plant of great usefulness, offering strong fibres for cord, cloth and everyday tools. In this workshop, we will learn the ancient craft of nettle cord making. You will be guided through the process of working with the fibres and twisting them into cord using simple ancestral techniques. As our hands work with the plant fibres, we reconnect with the old skills of the land, remembering the resourcefulness, patience and quiet wisdom carried in traditional Welsh craft.

Anton Toem

From a Breton family of 15th generation, he grew up among the stones, the legends and the myths. A traveller since young age, Anton immersed himself in cultures around the world and the nature that inspired them. It was that same nature that teach him about cycles, life, death and even music.

He bring a intuitive way of reclaiming our sovereignty as well has our ancestral heritage.

Breton Dance

An introduction to the vibrant communal traditions of Brittany! Breton dance has long been a way for people to gather during harvests, weddings, religious celebrations, and other important moments in community life. Rooted in agricultural work and seasonal rhythms, these dances developed as shared social practices that strengthened bonds within the community.

The circle is the central pattern to Breton dance. Dancing side by side, each person shares the rhythm and the structure. The individual remains distinct, yet fully part of the collective movement, reflecting an understanding of being connected within a larger chain of life. Come to settle into the Breton rhythm, as we come together and experience the collective energy of the dance.

Ed Furlow

Ed is the founder of S33D, a living experiment in reconnecting people with the wisdom of the Earth through mapping and honouring ancient trees. His work weaves together technology, storytelling, and embodied presence, inviting people to step out of abstraction and back into relationship, with land, with lineage, and with one another.

At a time when humanity stands at a pivotal threshold, Ed believes that our ancient trees offer more than symbolism, they offer nervous system regulation, deep time perspective, and a quiet recalibration of what it means to belong. Beneath their canopies, the modern mind softens, the breath deepens, and small, grounded choices become possible again.

Through S33D and the growing community around it, he explores how simple acts, mapping a tree, gathering in council, tending seeds, can ripple outward. In making these small shifts together, he believes we can gently, steadily transform the trajectory of our shared future.

Coming Home to Our Trees : A Journey to your Heartwood Hearth

A simple, sacred, quietly powerful rite of passage. Weaved with the Druidic wisdom of homecoming. Join Ed as he takes us on a walk through Coeds beautiful woodland to meet the Ancient Oak Gardian of the Land. A journey back through deep time, sensing, touching all the ways trees have shaped who we are today as human beings collectively and our particular individual facet of the divine, pulsating through our particular Linegae branch of the ancestral tree

Let each footfall soften the noise of the world behind you. As you walk, feel the invisible threads beneath your feet, roots that have held stories long before your name was spoken. Sense how trees have shaped you, your lungs, your shelter, your fire, your myths. Embrace the Eternal Moment, listen with the field around you & receive the wisdom of the ancient oak. Offering blessings and carrying forward embers of wisdom, knowing and a new becoming into the next generation.

A remembering, that the Heartwood is not only in the tree, it is in you. And each time you return, the path becomes clearer, the ember burns brighter, and the future becomes something you are actively shaping… not waiting for.

Albion Flame Candles

An introduction to the timeless craft of hand-dipped candles with Ra del Sol. The ancestral art of dipping candles, rooted in patience and repetition, through a quiet ritual of rhythm and intention.

Rose Albion Ceremony

Welcoming you to this heart of Rose Albion ceremony. You are invited to join us as we settle together, coming into individual and group heart coherence. We will work with differing modalities to anchor this as a collective prayer as well as each receiving individual healing codes for our personal missions. This space will contain singing, breathwork,meditation as well as you receiving rose medicine to ingest.

As you come into a journey to energetically connect and reunite we will be working with the beings of the land; the elementals, along with all four corners of this landmass. We will be using EFT to clear and to speak out blockages to allowing the currents of this land and our own beings to flow freely. Acknowledging the potency of these lands and the effect it’s had upon the whole world. We will then lie to receive a deep sound healing journeys with crystalline frequencies along with a drum journey. This will all be held and infused by the Sekhem- ancient Egyptian living light-healing energy, the Rose lineage and the grandmothers net of light.

Jordan Laida

Jordan is the creator and soul of InnatelyBeing, a name that stands for all of what it means to be a primally, earth rooted human, living in alignment with nature, health and spirit.

Jordan's background and practices all stem from health, wellbeing and primal fitness to live in such a way that enables us to feel as clear as we can in the mind and strong in the body so that we are open receivers to the whispers and magic that the land echoes.

Primal Movement & The Waters Within

Join me each morning as we tap in and explore our own inner waterways of the body, and begin to map and traverse our way through the lymphatic system and the fascial network, which work in union with one another. This is a light and gentle, yet very powerful practice that enables people of all abilities to tap in and experience, in order for us to be a conduit to everything around us, and to be clear and open to receive inputs, messages, and codes from both the physical and energetic planes. We need our body’s nodes and systems to be tuned in, and for us to be familiar with the feelings and sensations of them functioning and flowing freely.

In this space and workshop, I’ll be guiding you to learn some ancient and primal practices that directly stimulate the lymphatic system and recalibrate your entire fascial network from head to toe. Our ancestors knew just how deeply sacred and important running, flowing water is, and how it holds codes and memories. The waters within us are no different, it is here in the fascia that our very own codes, memories, traumas, and emotions pass through and are stored.

We are watery beings with an electrical charge, and in this space I bridge the gaps and connect the dots to bring an embodied, uplifting, and energetically recharging experience for the body, mind, and spirit.

Invoking Ancestral Wisdom of Albion Workshop & Drum Circle

Together we'll learn a simple chant in Cymraeg (the Welsh language), a chant developed with intention, rooted in the cross-cultural tradition of calling on ancestral wisdom. Crafted to work across all Celtic lands - from our ancestors to yours.

Once we've found our voices, we'll bring in the rhythm of the drum and work with the principles of entrainment, where our heartbeats, breath, and sound begin to synchronise naturally and carry us somewhere deeper. Opening a clear line to insight, to guidance, to the kind of knowing that sits below words.

Bi and tri-lingual handouts will be available on the day, so no prior knowledge of Cymraeg is needed at all.
