An Invitation
Jasper is one of the few remaining holders of this lineage which has been practiced in the British Isles for hundreds of years. In this week with us, he brings the ‘sacred visioning’ practices of his ancestors, ways which activate our intuitive and visionary skills, allowing us to enter states of deep connection, insight and transformation.
This is a wonderful opportunity to work in a very deep way with place, with the old ways of these lands and to seek guidance on how we might live in deeper and more soulful connection with the world around us.
Your Guides
The lead guides of this apprenticeship are Patrick Jasper Lee and Rachel Fleming.
Jasper is an author and song-writer and teacher working with his family’s Romani Gypsy roots to educate on the folklore, mythology and practices of the Romani people. This is an ancient tradition of these lands, the British Isles, that was intimately connected with nature. As a ‘chovihano’ (medicine man) in a culture that is now sadly dying out, it is his passion to pass on the earth-based understandings of his people, in an authentic way. “I have learned that drawing off the original template Earth gave to humans thousands of years ago, with its necessary values, is the only means of surviving modern life” he says. “Feelings of not belonging are now rife in society. I therefore promote my own culture as a means of connecting with Earth and each other”.

Rachel Fleming has worked with animist education for many years, designing and delivering educational programmes for Schumacher College, University of Wales Trinity St Davids and Embercombe, with a focus on the meeting place between human, spirit and nature, between ‘ecology’ and ‘spirituality’. She is co-founder and curator of the Contemporary Animism programmes and loves to convene conversations that explore the deepest depths of why we are here, the ways we find belonging to the world and how to be in service to soul. She is committed to scholarship, word magic, creative imagination and the medicine of circles.
