(Descriptions will be added continuously)

Initiation into the grades of the Order is like birth and marks the beginning of Druid camp. Those who wish can arrive on Thursday and receive an initiation in a small and intimate atmosphere. Otherwise there is also the possibility to do this on Friday evening.

From the Ogham tree, the bird, the colors and the word Ogham, images full of mysticism emerge, showing the tree presences in the light of archaic poetry. Mysterious to experience through listening with the heart. In the circle of the seasons embedded in a sung ritual people in a circle united by the fire first ritual movements to honor the powers of nature.

Celtic Druidic Energetics in Wyda Bodywork. In all true spiritual systems there is a system of exercises that is intended to support work with the soul and personal growth through work with the physical. Passing through the veil, which the word Wyda means, is an opening of the inner gates, strengthening, harmonizing and connecting the energy centers in the body. These are the Coire Goiriath, the cauldron of warmth, the Coire Ernmae, the cauldron of vocation and the Coire Sois, the cauldron of knowledge. The lecture is intended to give a first impression of how this Western Celtic system is structured and how processes on a spiritual and mental level can be controlled via movement.

Benna, Terram-Wyda teacher and druid.

5 workshops: Wuxing Qigong a series of 5 animals and their elements. Discover how emotions affect your organs and how bear, tiger, dragon, leopard and crane can harmonize your organs and emotions. Five Tier Qigong is over 2000 years old and is the first medical qigong system ever created. The oldest dynamic Qigong system by the famous Chinese physician Hua Tou (110-207 AD). Hua Tou is known as the father of Chinese medicine. The five animals are the fierce and untamed tiger, the graceful deer, the stable and lumbering bear, the agile monkey and the flying crane.

To train our body and mind, we come together and learn a few basics of an Asian martial art that was shaped by Daoism. The circular and spiral movements in and with the body are healthy for the spine. You need sturdy shoes (or barefoot) and loose clothing (pants that are too tight can tear).

I invite all those who already have experience with inner journeys and visualizations to this workshop.

Together we will go on a guided journey through the primeval forest, the original forest, and find the first oak there, the primeval oak. Here we meet the spirit of this primeval oak, the oak king, the bearer of wisdom and guardian of knowledge.

After the trip there will be an opportunity to exchange experiences.

“One cannot not communicate”, as the communication theory says. Every type of communication, be it verbal or non-verbal, has a message character. If we go deeper, it is said that one cannot prevent our language from having an effect. We always work. And we actually physically feel the quality of this effect. We will undertake various exercises, blessing rituals and short meditations as well as partner exercises and vision journeys. The group size is limited to approx. 12 people.

The brightest light shines invisibly. It shines through your words and actions, warming the universe

A journey with the treecards of äR: Out of a vision Quest with the trees these card deck was created. I offer you a wonderful journey through the oracle cards of äR. I'll take you through the magical land of the trees and their enchanting mandalas via a shamanic sound journey. I accompany the journey with drum, sacred tree rattles and singing and softly whisper to you the secrets and magic of the dryads. The magic is reinforced through GaldR poems.

A personal meeting with their spirits and portals of energy and soul.

We explore and discover the body of the deity(s) in the stars, in the ogham, in the landscape and last but not least in ourselves. With the visualization practice of Nemetona we connect with the goddess of the sacred groves. This practice can be customized for other goddesses and gods.

Life begins and forms into a shape. With fun and depth we paint and design the body with color and go into an experience of a special kind.

We learn that the chakras were not only known in the Eastern culture, but also in the Western tradition. There are many ways to work with the chakras. Here we experience the sensual nature of the Chakra Dance.

Yoga Nidra is more than just a relaxation technique. It leads to a deep state of meditation in an amazingly easy way and has therefore enjoyed increasing popularity in recent years. It has already been adapted by Philip Carr-Comm as Druid Nidra. Tina is a yoga teacher and guides us in Yoga Nidra.

We look at the approaches of the druidic art of healing and how it can be used in combination with conventional medicine. The main focus is on the holistic perception of body, psyche and spirituality and the connections between health and lifestyle.

In practical terms, it will also be about how I can combine material and spiritual effects in self-made remedies.

"A day without a scent experience is a lost day" (Egyptian proverb). Fragrances have accompanied humans since their emergence three million years ago. Scents are more important for the perception of a room than colors and furniture. Scents stimulate or excite or turn off.

- We can smell people we like well (in the true sense of the word),

- Even in the smallest amounts, fragrances create imagination, desire and relaxation

- You can tell spoiled food by its smell, not its expiration date.

In this workshop we want to find out how smelling works, how we can sharpen this sense and consider influencing the atmosphere in the room with a fragrance oil composition and/or incense.

dear women,this is a space for you to discover Ceridwen's cauldron within yourself - in the magical space of your womb. While many women know their bodies as a whole quite well, few have journeyed into the depths of their wombs and this connection to the divine feminine power. The connection can awaken and strengthen our Awen, let our potential be opened up to us, let our needs be heard/felt better.

I would like to explore this connection with you with mindful touch, meditation and a guided shamanic journey into your own womb.

No prior knowledge is required, helpful items are: a mat, a blanket and a skirt or dress to wear. It would also be nice if you bring a power item for the altar in the center. Duration: about 1.5 hours

It may be good to take a break in peace afterwards.

Of course, an Eisteddfod should not be missing at a druid camp and is the highlight of the weekend. All bards are invited to perform their arts, no matter how experienced you are. Tim Waddington and his band will then get the party going.

A body is born, blossoms, perishes, and enters a new cycle. We feel how the elements form and leave the body, contemplate the Celtic mythology of the last journey and dance the dance of life and death.
