www.oakdragon.org.uk Oak Dragon Camps is the sister group of the Oak Dragon School. Every Summer OD Camps hold a ten-day out door event, usually held around the festival of Lammas. The Oak Dragon Camps are an amazing and magickal community experience. For a short period, people of all ages and backgrounds come together to explore a group process that is facilitated by a variety of workshops, ceremonies and Talking Circles. These camps are real experiments in tribal living where everyone is required to move out of their comfort zones and face challenges with integrity and empathy. Oak Dragon Camps offer a unique opportunity to those who participate - a chance to experience Deep Magick, emotional freedom and tribal bonding. This Camp is a wonderful way to gain a taste of the year round experience at the Oak Dragon School.

The Rainbow Family of Living Light, also known as The Rainbow Tribe, are a loosely affiliated group of individuals committed to principles of non-violence and non-hierarchical egalitarianism. Founded in 1972 in the United States, the Rainbow Family has held annual Gatherings in National Forests for the first week of July each year. The Rainbow Gatherings are non-commercial and all who wish to attend peacefully are welcome. There are no leaders, and traditionally the gatherings take place for a week, with a primary focus on the Fourth of July in North America, when attendees pray, meditate, or observe silence in a group effort to focus on World Peace. In 1983 the European Rainbow Family was founded and since 1993 the World or International Rainbow Family have held Gatherings in South America, Australia, South East Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

MAG are interested both in the European geomantic tradition and in similar consciousness in the New World - especially among the Native Americans. They seek evidence of the geomantic tradition and its skills on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Geomancy explores the realms where human consciousness meets and dialogues with the Spirit of the Earth. It empowers the harmonious interaction between person and place. Through the art of appropriate placement of both secular and spiritual structures, places where we pray, work and play, geomancers locate and shape spaces in harmony with both the physical and the spiritual environment of the place. |

The Geomancy Group is an association of practising geomancers and other like-minded folk with members all over the UK.

Glastonbury is a different and rather lively small town. It has rich traditions, a cosmopolitan community and a taste of tomorrow. It sits on the ancient Isle of Avalon in the Somerset Levels, with a backdrop of soft, green, rolling hills. It has been a pilgrimage place for thousands of years. In the Middle Ages a great abbey was here - it was England's 'holyest earthe'. It now hosts the famous Glastonbury Festival, pilgrimages, music, a carnival, several conferences and other events. People visit from the world over, seeking a certain special something. Overlooking it all is the Glastonbury Tor, a fascinating holy hill. Tradition has it that Jesus visited and Joseph of Arimathaea built a church here, King Arthur and Guinevere were buried here and it was an ancient place of the Goddess. |
