The Oak Dragon Project is now in its twenty-second year. Oak Dragon represents many things to different people. Community, deep-magic, organic ceremony and the creation of sacred space are all aspects of Oak Dragon’s purpose. At the centre of it all though, Oak Dragon is one thing and one thing only – it is a place of education, a place for us to learn both about our selves, and each other.

Oak Dragon began as an out-door educational organisation with the original vision of:

“A large committed family, a tribe of people with shared aims, gathered serendipitously from all walks of life and many beliefs…drawing in increasing numbers of people. People would be able to rise to their full stature through such an involvement, through carrying out such service.”

The vision was to create a “University on the Green Earth”, a “School of Initiation into the Mystery Traditions”. Now in our twentieth year we are holding true to that vision. It is no longer satisfactory to only gather for short periods of time in the summer months. The Oak Dragon has grown in twenty years and is now seeking something more, something new and innovative.

As she did in 1986, during Palden Jenkins’s vision quest in Snowdonia, the Oak Dragon has made her presence known once more and she has made her intentions clear. From Elfane, the Dragon’s Nest, a new project has been seeded. We have begun work on creating a school, an institute of esoteric training. A circle of witches, shamans, astrologers, occultists, healers, geomancers, visionaries, magical and culturally creative people are coming together, united by one goal – to facilitate changes in peoples’ lives and create the environment in which these changes can take place.

Our world is changing rapidly; we live in amazing times where we are able to express our personal spirituality and take command of our lives. This is a time when both as individuals and as a tribe we can unite on common ground – our world is moving too fast for us to waste time.

Through our knowledge of the Magickal Arts we are creating a centre of excellence, from which we will facilitate an epic adventure into the once-known and the unknown, a journey into the centre of the labyrinth.

We are at the beginning of a project that is unparalleled in its proportion. We have begun creating the foundations of the School at the magical outpost of Elfane in the West of Wales. This however, is only the beginning. Although Elfane will always remain the Dragon’s Nest, within the next five years we will find a greater area of land on which we will create our own purpose built School and Temple, an institute of esoteric training that will truly cater for the next generation of the Oak Dragon Tribe, the next generation of Sundance Teachers; a wonder of the modern world.
