Sacred Kernow Land and Lineage Circles 2024
Sacred Kernow Land and Lineage Circles 2024
Welcome to the next evolution of Sacred Kernow:
Land and Lineage Circles
You – all parts of you – are so very welcome here.
For the last four years, I have been deepening my relationship with my lineage and the land here in Cornwall. In 2023, I designed 13 unique women's circles that I am now ready to gently introduce to the world. These circles are for anyone curious about deepening their relationship to land, lineage, self and community.
The Sacred Kernow Land and Lineage Circles weave together all my learning, experience and passions:
Exploration of my Irish Celtic Lineage
Honouring Cycles, Seasons and the Wheel of the Year
Cornish Celtic traditions, symbolism and spirituality
Land connection and stewardship
Women's Circle traditions
Social Justice, equity and inclusion
Embodied movement
Ritual, Rites of Passage and Ceremony
Story-telling and voice activation
Somatic, shamanic journeying
Why do Women’s Circles feel so important right now?
“Love and justice are not two. Without inner change, there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters.” Rev. angel Kyodo williams
Women’s Circles are intentional, powerful gatherings where we can build community, listen openly, use our voices, be heard and be seen. Circles are places where we dismantle hierarchy and competition and instead practice self-focus, community care and sacred activism.
Through the medicine of circle, we come into deeper relationship with self, land and lineage and we dare to dream into being a new reality for ourselves, our communities and the world.
What makes Land + Lineage Circles unique?
Many of us look outside of ourselves, our culture and our land for meaning and spiritual connection. The Sacred Kernow Land and Lineage Circles encourage the exploration of your own cultural, land and ancestral lineagethrough the gentle arc of 13 circles.
Each circle has a theme inspired by the land here in Cornwall - however, these are all archetypal concepts that stretch across cultures and geography. Each offering is supported by a sacred site, an energy/deity and a plant spirit and invite you into your own embodied relationship with place, ancestry and culture.
For transparency, all circles will have the same format:
Introduction
Calling in the Directions and Land Acknowledgement
Handcasting and Community Agreements
Somatic Shamanic Meditation
Oracle Card Pull and Partner share
Deep dive into the theme
Community share
Embodied movement
Activity to support the theme (ie Ceremony, Ritual or Rite of passage)
Soul moment

To ensure these circles are offered with the highest levels of integrity, accessibility and meaning, I have gathered 10 women over the last 8 months to help shape their design.
This is some of their feedback:
· I feel blessed to have been a part of this container. Once again you have put so much love, thought, care and energy into the planning on space holding. Beautiful!
· The value of coming together in circle, sharing our voices and being held, knowing there is no way to get it wrong is very liberating for this former perfectionist!
· I loved the content and felt it was great anchor point for the last 7 months. I loved learning about myself more in terms of my lineage and connecting to a deeper wisdom inside me.
· It was a great experience - you hold space in such a wonderful way.
· I love that there was no judgement and that we had space for all beliefs.
· This was a very powerful experience for me. The reminder that there is no way to do it wrong is incredibly powerful. It is that freedom to be ourselves that is rarely found but so needed. Thank you once again for sharing your wisdom and magic.
· I love this container that you have created and how it’s grown circle by circle.
· This has been a really powerful experience for me. The visualisation, dance and writing rituals created a beautiful container for me to process things I had been working through. Thank you.
· Dancing in each circle gives me a way to honour my experience in the best way my body knows how: through movement. I found the writing rituals very powerful as they enabled me to draw together so many different aspects of my past. The meditation at the start of circles was an amazing portal for me that I feel facilitated me to go deeper during the rest of the evening.
· Just beautiful. I would never have done any of this work on my own and I feel it will enrich my life moving forward and it has facilitated healing I needed to do for both myself and my lineage.
· I don't want this to end! This is a beautiful container, Meghan.

All of me is infused into these circles and I would love for you to bring your unique heart to them as well.

The investment from you will be £33 for each circle (paid monthly, totalling £429) or £375 for all 13 circles (paid in advance). There is also the option of having a unique package delivered to you for an additional £50, which contains materials to support each circle.
