The Everyday Otherworld

With Manchán Magan & Angharad Wynne

The Otherworld is present in our every day.

Until the last century and a half or so, this was the belief and the lived experience of most people across Britain and Ireland. But, through the gloss of modernity, the grind and guilt of the Industrial Revolution and the cult of rationality with which we currently live, we have been conditioned away from our natural porosity and sense of community and communion with the seen and unseen worlds.

This workshop is a step towards reclaiming our birthright; our natural, yearned-for way of being in relationship with all creation. We explore our contemporary understanding of relating with the Otherworld through the lens of the Brythonic and Irish traditions. We dive deep into myth, story, lore and magical practice to render ourselves more permeable to the subtle forces and the generous guidance that is woven around us. You are guided through practices that reignite these delicate relationships that are so fundamental to our interrelationship with the web of all life.

This is for those who sense that there is an ‘otherworld’ living beside this one and wish to explore and experience it through the understandings and the practices of these traditions.
