The Way of the Willow: Healing and Re-imagining Eldership

£369.00

A year long Apprenticeship Pathway course
Starts Tuesday 18th November 2025

We gather to listen, as the decaying allows us, deeply to the memories within bones of Mother Earth.

We explore the pulsing weave, the rich tapestry, of Maiden, Mother, Crone. Through the many layering threads of our personal weave, our ancestral weave and the great Cosmic one.

This is a time to heal our Elder Wounding, beyond that of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Mother. We need to heal our relationship with the choices that our Cosmic Elder made, that ripple through our ancestry, where the echoes still resides within our bones … and that of Mother Earth.

And the land … the land remembers. For the bones of our original Cosmic Elder, the Divine Crone - Tiamet formed her.

And this has been my work with the land these past few years, the convergence, her Restoration and our Re-creation … and it is time.

Here you learn to recognise yourself as The Mother, as the portal, who in each moment births … becoming the Child and the Crone.

“This is a time to revisit your innocence and hold the responsibility of guardianship for that. What wisdom do you now hold to nurtures parts that have been neglected?

What songs do theses parts carry that you have forgotten?”

It is a time for understanding and forgiveness so you can more fully embrace your Crone aspect and acceptance of your Eldership

“Eldership isn’t a rigid status - it is fluid - one that moves through all three aspects retrieving innocence and purity, reparenting self with the still, quiet reflection that spins the song thread down into the well of your being, retrieving the balm of wisdom.”

Suitable for those living in the Northern Hemisphere, as the weather parallels our journey, and open to exploring the feminine aspects of themselves regardless of gender.

We are being invited to allow what no longer serves to fall away and decay. Also what already has done so, so it can be witnessed as the rich nutrient that brings to fruition something more aligned with our true nature, our authenticity.
As we prepare for Winter we are returning to the bones of our origins. This gives us the opportunity to access new memories, new coding within their formation ready to come to life in the spring.
This is a tender time, so do we have the resources to nurture and nourish this new unfolding - and cherish it ?
We will be moving full circle meeting from November to October. A year to observe these patterns of decay and flourishment and the enchanting that weaves through it all - that magical thread of our knowing, remembrance, deepening true self, soul integrity and authenticity.
Our human is always becoming … the grandparent, the mother, the daughter - there are always parts of ourselves who are younger, who are older … parts who are in the awe and wonder of being enchanted and those who are aware of the falling away, the letting go, the change of form …
Here we are really focusing on our Inner Elder, so they can become a healthy ancestor for our Inner Child.
We draw comparisons between the Cosmic story and our personal stories, and learn to heal both - so we can become true stewards of the New Paradigm.
As we step into our power, we step up, taking up the mantle - the responsibility for our work in the world, the knowledge of the imprint it will leave, fostering the Eldership qualities of integrity, discernment and Mastery of Self.
Whereever we feel we may be on our path we move from abdication to advocation and a knowing that this is never a linear journey.
We explore the intersections and parallels between the Cosmic story and our personal stories, our own Inner Elder, through mythos, poetry, shamanic wisdom, sacred transmissions and deep experiential connection with Mother Earth and Grandmother Willow.

Overview and Mythos
This is a Long, Slow, Deep year.
We start with connecting to our Ancestral and Crone energy though our relationship with the dark. Here we start to remember, clear what no longer serves, activating this powerful alchemical energy.
From deep within the clarifying luminous dark, where the cold has crept in - when the ice begins to soften, crumble and expand. Our skins start to crack as the light and warmth slowly return.
New growth emerges, quietly, gently and tenderly at first before gathering speed in the warmth … finding the spaces to expand. Budding new leaves, feed the flowers who embrace the bees … until they become seeds containing the wisdom of that path of descent and growth … ripe and ready …
The seed begins it’s journey. First experiencing the exhilaration of liberty … exploring the enchantment of limitless potential …
Questing, visiting, discovering … the journey within the journey again covers the threefold journey of Maiden, Mother, Crone as this exploration brings deeper layers of nourishing understanding, quiet reflection and independent thought before choosing a path …
a thread within the weave to follow and starts to slow, deepen and settle …
these early seeds of Willow … while others fruit are reaching maturity, ripening at their own pace on their path, ready to release their seeds into the soil - they return … for this is the Willows Way.
Now is the Wisening … the gathering of all that has been learnt, all that has been undone, the reckoning of old and new preparing for the descent again …
A sharing of pathways …
The journey of Crone to Maiden to Mother that holds within the freedom and wisdom of flight and exploration of the journey from Maiden to Mother to Crone
In all stages our focus is on the point of growth of the Willow Tree. We must also remember the whole tree …
Always working and weaving through the parallel layers, the macrocosm to the microcosm … finding the tight places, unravelling the knots that still bind, but no longer serve … where we find our Child, we also look for our Elder and our Mother … what do they teach us in those moments … when the focus is on one how can we widen our vision for the perception of all three …
The Mastery we learn from Grandmother Willow is holding them all in perpetual harmony
