I have worked with a number of fabulous spiritual souls to create exactly the right course for you, and so let me introduce us:-
Sharon Zak www.sacredgrove.co.uk, www.slipperyjacks.com
That's Me! Druid, artist, writer and healer, I was born into a family where spiritual energies ran close to the surface. I was taught to listen to Spirit, to hear the subtle conversations of Nature, understand the green beings as well as those of feather and fur, and to open myself to the vast and vibrant essence of the Source.
My journey has been one of searching, to make sense of what I was gifted with a discordant and pain filled world. I trained as a psychologist, searching for answers perhaps. PhD work narrowed my field of vision and focused it on our elders. Working in therapy I quickly discovered that standard therapeutic techniques were inadequate. On the one hand I had a set of tools that did, to some extent, have capacity to help while on the other I had a long tradition of healing that crossed centuries, passed as it was, from the Divine and given with love. My work forced me into a box that I could not sit in for long. So with the elders I worked quietly allowing them to ‘pull’ whatever they required through me. That was my gift to them and their gift to me was the memory of each ancient soul.
Outside clinic, I spent my time teaching about love, compassion, creativity and hope in medicine. Nurses and registrars, OT’s and students, from here and overseas, all heard what I had to say and some of them listened. I started Slippery Jacks a company dedicated to spreading spiritual artwork and writings. Offering profit-free support for artists and writers we enable them to get their work out into the world and allow others the chance to connect. We also offer high quality websites on the same basis…. I also became a founder member of the Earth Pathways Co-operative and worked, alongside a group of like-minded souls, giving birth to the Earth Pathways Diary. My role was to create each page with love, honour and sensitivity.
One day I looked around me, as a huge glittering penny from the Source dropped straight into my lap. So I packed up, gave everything away and moved from my home and into the woods. There I was able to heal, free from all the trappings with which I had been surrounded, free to re-connect in a way that hadn’t been possible before.
My writing blossomed and many books, dripping with love, have danced from my pen…among them The Golden Seed, The Greening of Man, Sacred Sites – Illuminated, The Sacred Hare. Painting was something of a revelation for me. I had played with painted hands at school but suddenly, 40 years on, I was compelled to buy the biggest canvas I could fit in my car and paint… like fury… Elemental energy flowed through my being, to be embedded in the work, before moving on its way to the soul it was needed for… This gift is immensely powerful and it is one that I have been asked to share. Now, as my Wise years begin, I believe, with heart and soul, that I have the skills to offer guidance to others as they walk their own blessed path. And I do so with true humility. I am, and will remain, in service.

My work branches into two areas: Raku and smoke-fired bowls and vases, plus sculptures and other work inspired by goddesses past and present.
Victoria Lovell www.harestoyou.co.uk
I work from my studio at home at the top of my garden. Most of my inspiration comes from nature and I enjoy watching the seasons change in my lovely garden from my studio window. However, my best ideas come from my 2 year old Labrador 'Honey', but as she lacks opposable thumbs, she has left to me to interpret her ideas. I hope I do them justice.
I love working with my hands. I feel at times they have their own agenda and I am just along for the ride. So it does not come as a surprise that I like to use my hands to express myself. Whether that is through my clay work, baking a cake or working in my garden.
Currently, sculpting animals in clay fascinates me. I find it challenging and ultimately rewarding to achieve a balance of creating the animal desired, give it a personality and the feeling of movement in something as solid and immovable as fired clay.
To work with clay and have clay work with me is a passion of mine. I am not one for fine lines, scrupulous detail and vibrant colours. I am one for proportion, movement and letting the clay speak for itself. It is important to me that people ‘enjoy' my pieces. Not just ‘admire' or ‘like'. I hope that my pieces are allowed to be more of a presence in people lives and not just another knick-knack.
"People, working together, can create magic. We did and we offer it now, to you."
