Free Flow Drum Circles with Tracy Lawson May
Join Tracey throughout the weekend at her shamanic drumming circle gathered around the fire at the heart of the Saor Anam wellness festival, We invite participants into a shared rhythm that feels grounding and alive. As the drums begin to beat in unison, the flickering flames mirror the pulse, creating a space for release, connection, and quiet transformation. Voices rise softly in chant, laughter drifts through the circle, and the outside world fades, replaced by a deep sense of presence and belonging. It becomes a moment of collective healing — simple, ancient, and powerfully human.

Kundalini Dance is a guided, powerful, and deeply embodied movement journey that blends breath, sound, rhythm, and intention to help you reconnect with your natural life-force energy.

This session is held as a safe, sacred, and non-judgmental space, encouraging free movement, creative expression, and the gentle release of what no longer needs to be carried. Participants are guided to explore at their own pace, with invitations to move, rest, ground, and simply be with the experience.

This session is catered towards adults or young adults who do not need supervision and are comfortable spending time in silence.
This event is the perfect way to relax and connect with nature. Come and unwind with us!
Awakening Your Inner Reader: Diving into the Tarot’s Medicine
By Florita
This one-hour workshop is designed as an immersive introduction to tarot, blending grounded understanding with intuitive exploration. The session unfolds as a guided journey from inner attunement, deconstruction of a deck into symbolic language, and finally into direct personal experience. We begin by arriving together through a short guided meditation and breath, allowing participants to settle the nervous system and open a space of presence. From here, tarot is introduced not as a tool of prediction, but as a living system of self-awareness that reflects the psyche, the moment, and the deeper layers of perception. Participants are then gently guided through the structure of the tarot deck. The Major Arcana are presented as archetypal forces and initiations, the “greater mysteries” that shape human experience. The Minor Arcana are explored as reflections of everyday life and emotional landscapes. Symbolism, archetypes, and the visual language of tarot are introduced in a way that feels accessible and intuitive rather than overwhelming. The workshop also opens subtle doors into the deeper systems behind tarot, touching on elemental knowledge, numerology, and esoteric correspondences. Not intensely as concepts to master, but as pathways participants may choose to explore further. From here, the focus shifts into practice. Participants are invited to move away from memorisation and into perception, learning how to read a spread of cards through imagery, sensation, and intuitive response. In this final part of the session, each participant works with a 3 card spread based on a personal question. Working together in pairs, they explore the cards through guided prompts, developing their own language with the deck. The session closes with a gentle group integration and shared reflection for those who feel called to speak. This workshop is designed to open curiosity, build confidence, and offer a first embodied experience of tarot as a personal and intuitive tool.

Movement Medicine -
Journey through Transcendial
Dance and Sound
By Dianne Eagle Therapies Dollar
Divine Harmonic DNA Activation — Cacao & Breathwork Ceremony
(Sunday)
By Kasim Khan
Evolving from the ancient shamanism, trancsendial dance is powerful way to journey through
movement and sound. Blending spontaneous and natural movement to music of varying sounds.
Using a blindfold and starting in darkness, this allows you to let go of fears, inhibitions and self-
image. Being in your inner space enables you to move freely within your own world. Letting go of
normal time and space, evoking and enabling an expansion of perspective and awareness. Using
trancendial dance to deepen into your inner soul and connect with the teachings of a core element,
reawaken the voice of your heart and soul.
Deepening this working in nature, allow mother earth to support you to connect deeper, feel
happier, and draw deeply into the teachings. Letting sound, smell and the elements within nature,
drop you into your own inner space. Look deep into nature, and let it support you to understand
everything better as the sound carries you into another realm.
Saturday we will work with the element of Fire
Sunday we will work with the element of Water
