Past events

Some Secret Place has been facilitating pagan rituals, meditations and group discussions every month since August 2007. At times when interest in the group has been particularly large we've run the group twice a month to make sure the experience was always intimate enough that everyone present could participate.

We've only just started to keep details of each event, which will be listed here.

Also, there are tentative plans to create texts for solitary (or small group) versions of our evenings for people who couldn't make it but would like to perform the work themselves. If that's something you'd like to see happen, please email Peter.

February, 2012

Candlemass or Imbolc: a festival of light--a celebration of lactation (certainly the latter is prevalent in our household at the moment)! Come and connect with your inner child, to bring forth the energy of a renewed sun.

January, 2012

Having just celebrated midwinter, when the sun begins to once again strengthen from a flicker to a flame, and the child of promise is reborn, we now turn to the coming year.

What do we hope to achieve? What are our dreams for this solar cycle?

We'll be creating physical representations of these desires (from clay, we do like a chance to bury our hands in earth) to bless with the group.

December, 2011

The festival of Saturnalia is an ancient Roman celebration held in honour of Saturn, youngest of the Titans and father of Jupiter.

A time of frivolity, debauchery and general malarkey. Join us as we pay homage to Saturn, and acknowledge the need for a midwinter festival.

November, 2011

This time of year is steeped in myth and lore regarding the "veil", the boundary between the realms of the living and the dead, being at its most thin.

At Some Secret Place this month we're looking at communing with, feeling, and experiencing our ancestors, and others who have "gone before" us, as well as those who will come after us.

Be it family trees, creative lines or spiritual and magical traditions, we will all have people "come after" us. We are all part of lineages, and we'll be focusing on our place within those paths.

October, 2011

As we enter the dark half of the year, SSP invites you to enter your own dark half. Known also as the shadow self; the dark side, the subconscious and intuitive self. A place that is more accessible at this liminal time of year.

Often people fear the dark and this side of themselves but perhaps it is the lack of exploration and acceptance of our darker selves that creates that fear?

As pagans we aim to connect with the metaphor that is the wheel of the year to bring about wholeness through our spiritual path and this month we are embracing the impending change.

September, 2011

This month we're looking at polarity, but not in the traditional gender sense. There is polarity within everything, and we'll be looking at it within elements, and of course ourselves.

August, 2011

Storing energy and power for when we need it most.
