Dear regular worshippers and visitors to the #SacredGrove:

You are welcome to conduct your ceremony clad in green body paint but please make sure that it is non-toxic and biodegradable. After the last ritual at the stone circle over in Pendlebury it looked as if someone had been playing paintball.

If your practice actually does involve paintball we suggest you contact the local Chaotes, who have experience conducting non-standard workings safely and effectively.

"there are thousands of sacred forests that have survived thanks to traditional religious & spiritual beliefs. Experts say these places, many now under threat, have ecological importance & must be saved."

Spent some time in the #juniper forest above Great Prespa Lake this morning, including the #SacredGrove around the church of Agios Georgios. These trees, many of which have responded to the hard winters here or to lightning strikes at some point in the past by reorientating their growth patterns in beautifully unique ways, are as much as 500-years-old. Resilient and enduring testaments to ways of being in relationship with living trees that places their protection at its heart.
