Spiritual and ancestral pilgrimage

All the walks have an energetic pull through folklore, strange sightings or energetic portals and sacred sites. And are all arranged on full or new moons, just to add to the energetics of these spaces. All walks start at 10am on the dates shown below.

The first walk is a 3.5 mile walk at Emery Down on 14th October. The ancient trees of this wild woodland bears etchings from bygone times, witches, and intention setters. 

The second walk 28th October is a 4 mile walk at Abbotswell. To visit the sacred well, along with the energetic pull of hasley and its healing stones along with Latchmore which is steeped in folklore, barrows and the site of a hunting lodge. 

The third walk on the 13th November is a 4.5 mile walk at Ibsley common. This walk will visit the Moyles oak and pass Alice Lisles previous house, where she is still often seen being taken along the road in the carriage she was taken in to Winchester in to be hung.  We will walk a hollow way and up onto Ibsley common to visit the huff duff where strange goings on have been reported.

Fourth walk on 27th November is the smugglers walk. This is a 4.5 mile walk, in the footsteps of smuggling life. And spending time in the magical Ridley wood before going to the hollow way where illegal smuggling markets were held. 

The final walk on the 12th December is a 4 mile walk. We will visit the enchanted wood of puckpits. When walking through the two ancient beech trees into this woodland,  it feels as if you have past through a portal into a magical land full of elementals. There must be something in the name??  There is a lot of honour in the land here where prominent people want to rest and be remembered. 

The cost is £15 per walk, or £12.50 per walk if you book all five together. Contact me for more details or RSVP to book. To book all 5, just drop me an email newforestnatureandnurture@gmail.com
