dreaming your death awake

Sunday 1st November 2026

Death is our ultimate teacher: If we can learn how to live with full awareness, then our death becomes a rite of passage, met with grace, gratitude and integrity.

In this 4 hour online Gathering at Samhain, we will explore how to fall in love with life, and how to prepare for this ultimate (at least for this time around) rite of passage in ways that enrich and enliven each passing day.

This Gathering is for anyone who wants to explore the pathways to a life well lived, in the context of a death well met.  It’s for anyone who comes with good heart. No experience expected or required – Indeed, because our wheel of the year begins with the start of winter, this is the start of our cycle.

Every Gathering is structured so that you can come to it freshly with no previous experience, but if you want to start on a cycle, then this is the time and the place. We look forward to seeing you there.

The Gathering will be recorded so if you can’t make it to the live session you can watch the recording we send out to everyone who books a place.

dreaming your year awake

Sunday 3rd January 2027

The world is spinning under our feet. All the old certainties have gone.  How can we each best meet the challenges of this coming year with grace and courage? Who are our communities of place, passion and purpose and how do we connect with them?

Dreaming your Year Awake offers a structured space where we can explore these questions alone and in small groups. We’ll reflect back and cast forward, identify our resources and find ways to fill the gaps. In the More-Than-Human space of a meditative journey, we’ll step into the sense of meaning and purpose, being and belonging that we yearn for.

Working with the concept of ‘Future Memory’, we’ll each build a future that feels real to us at the deepest level of being, bringing the best of ourselves to this unfolding year in a way that will last long beyond the first flush of resolutions.

This 4 hour online Gathering is for anyone who wants to begin the New Year with a clear, strong intent: for ourselves and, through us, for the rest of the Web of Life.

No experience is necessary, though if you began the year at Samhain with Dreaming your Death Awake, we will build on the experience of letting go into potential.

Honouring Fear as Your Mentor

Sunday 7th February 2027

We are surrounded by reasons to be fearful. In a world of cataclysmic transition/transformation, when all the myths of our culture are falling away, it’s easy to give way to doomscrolling and prophecies of apocalypse, undermining our sense of self and our ability to show up in the world with the courage, resilience and wisdom that are our birthright. Ultimately, we risk falling into an endless loop where being afraid of being afraid becomes a self-perpetuating cycle.

But Fear is not bad in itself: in the right place and the right time it’s what keeps us alive when we might otherwise rush headlong into danger.
So how do we come to know our fear, embrace it so that it softens into a friend we can engage with rather than the monster lurking in the depths of our shadow-spaces? How can we befriend our fear and make it one of our strongest mentors?

In this 4 hour online Gathering, we will explore how fear shows up for us, and we show up for it, before moving into the resources we have and can build in the material, emotional and spiritual worlds. We will work individually and in small break-out groups and as a wider collective in meditative journeys.

No experience necessary and you don’t have to be a member of the Accidental Gods community to come along – in fact, if you’re curious, this is a good time to get a feel for who we are and how we work.

Decoding your Dreams

Sunday 11th April 2027

Do you dream? Do you weave wonderful stories through your nights, full of metaphors and prophecies and dream-woven gems to help you navigate your daily life?

We do all dream – but we don’t always remember, and even when we do, we often don’t know how to work with our dreams in a structured way that gives us access to the rich seam of help and advice they offer.

In this 4-hour online experiential Gathering, we’ll work along and in small groups to nail down ways to remember our dreams more clearly, and then discover how to work with the four kinds of dreams in ways that are unique to each of us – without touching any dream interpretation books/blogs/AI-rendered websites (truly – please throw them away). We’ll follow a led journey/visualisation to find ways to enhance our dream recall and we’ll explore the routes to lucid dreaming, and what to do when it happens.

No experience is necessary and you don’t have to be a member of the Accidental Gods community to come along. Please note that we’ll be in British Summer Time.

Routes to Resilience, Inner and Outer

Sunday 16th May 2027

How resilient are you feeling? What resources so you have to help you self-regulate in these interesting times? Or simply to stay afloat in a world that feels existentially chaotic?

Of all the generations who have gone before us, we who are alive now, have the opportunity to build a future we’d be proud to leave behind. But to do this, we have to have the space and time to explore what’s ours to do in the world – and to do this we need to have met our basic needs at both the outer and the inner level.

In this 4-hour online experiential Gathering we will explore how we can begin to meet the challenge of our time. Individually and in small group break-outs, we identify the resources we can call on easily, and the gaps where we feel vulnerable. Through meditative journeys we will develop a sense of the ways we can ask for help so that we can engage deeply with the current moment whenever the turbulence of current events feels like its pushing us off track.

Strengthening Your Intuition

Sunday 13th June 2027

Do you sometimes know things before they happen, think of people just before they contact you, or sense when someone – human or more-than-human – is watching you? Do you make choices out of nowhere that turn out to be so much better than the plans your head-mind was making? Do you read patterns in the flights of birds, or in the way the wind blows the leaves, in the crackling of the fire or the flow of a river?

All this is heart-mind knowing, a deep well of understanding that connects you to the wider web of life and offers you a whole wide world of creativity, connection and purpose.

When we access this – or it reaches out to us – we call this our intuition and in this 4-hour online experiential Gathering we will work together and in small groups to identify the places in our lives where this is already strong, and then the areas we could work to strengthen. We’ll explore the principal ‘clairs’ – clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience – find out where we’re strongest and how to strengthen the others so we have multiple modalities to work with. And we’ll establish regular exercises that will build our trust so that we can navigate our way through the chaos of the world connected to our soul’s purpose.

Stories to Live by – evolving narratives to change our worlds

Sunday 11th July 2027

What are the stories you tell yourself in the silence of your own mind? Are you an amazing, awe-inspiring, magical creator, living a life that will inspire future generations? If not, where do the stories come from that tell us we’re not good enough, that we make poor choices, that the world is set against us – and, crucially, how do we change these narratives within ourselves and in the world at large?

Stories are the scaffolding on which our lives are built: both the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves, each other and our place in the world and the stories that bombard us through the days from social media, on the television, in the newspapers, on advertising billboards, telling us how to be, telling us what’s possible, telling us what to think, what to buy, what to believe…

Our world is beset by toxic, destructive stories and yet there is so much wonder in the small kindnesses, the great courage, the vision, curiosity and creativity of ordinary people.
What happens when we shift our own stories – and what do we shift them to?

In this four-hour online Gathering we’ll explore where our stories come from and how we might change them. Alone and in small groups, we’ll drill down to the foundations of our inner belief systems and soar up to the heights of who we could be and what we could do if we let go of the beliefs that shackle us. We’ll look at frame and metaphor and the structures of the stories we’re fed and we’ll journey into the future in search of strong, striking, inspiring stories of who we could be.

No experience necessary and you don’t have to be a member of the Accidental Gods community to come along.
