And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul
— John Muir

Step into the sacred landscape of the Surrey Hills at Imbolc 2025, where ancient energies awaken and the cycles of life, creativity and vision converge. Nestled beneath the towering Yew Trees, this transformative initiation is a journey into the heart of creation — where the Mother and Father archetypes emerge in their primordial dance.

For creatives, entrepreneurs and visionaries, this immersive experience invites you to reconnect with the wisdom deep within the English soil, drawing inspiration from its roots, branches, and limitless potential. The Yew, symbol of transformation and rebirth, invites you to plant seeds of intention, rejuvenating your creative spirit and entrepreneurial vision. Embrace the time of renewal, forging powerful connections with your inner divine masculine and feminine to birth your next level of expression.

Join us as we gather to honor Imbolc, the spark of the ancient’s new year, and align with the powerful forces of balance and growth in one of England’s most enchanted landscapes. Expect guided rituals, hands-on creative exercises, and visionary practices designed to activate your full creative potential. Discover how to manifest your dreams and build a flourishing future with clarity and purpose.

Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, an aspiring creative, or someone in need of a reset, this day of immersion promises a renewal of purpose, creativity, and the spark of new beginnings.


Expect to spend the day outside in the woodlands of the Surrey Hills AONB, with the majestic, ancient Yew Trees (estimated at 1500+ years old).

Atop a chalk and sand-ribbed landscape, peppered with Flint (varying colours of chalcedony quartz), this area is both beautiful and historic. Bisected by the 132 degree leyline (Dragon Line), it is a powerful vortex both for plant life and fauna, as well as for seekers willing to look under the hood of creation.

Please bring a packed lunch, water/ thermos, snacks and something to sit on if required. Residential options available, please enquire.

Feedback from previous workshops:

‘I found a renewed energy and sense of hope that came through starting to experience the energy and guidance of the yew trees. I have found them daunting in the past, but Harriet brought about a much deeper understanding of their wisdom and power, in me.I feel like I have a lot more to learn about them and would love to do more.’

‘Such a special day. It was so interesting and I thought Harriet guided and structured the day perfectly. The workshop flowed and was paced just right. Some anxieties and fear left me by the end of the day, and a few days later I am still feeling calmer and more grounded. I am still thinking through the insights and understanding I gained which is so valuable.’

Places limited. Directions given upon reservation.

Please note that Yew Spirit is an incredibly powerful activator and ally and we generally know deeply if we have been called into this work with Yew.
