Our Yearly Cycle of events reflects the Celtic Wheel of the Year, with activities, skills and practices to match the traditions tied to each season.

Each season we will host a larger scale Gathering, as well as shorter and smaller programs such as retreats, immersive courses/trainings and group visits/programs throughout the seasons. All our programs offer direct, experiential learning to gain the hard and soft skills required to live a Shieling life, including:

• Intersectional Solidarity: Connecting with other movements for cultural reclamation, language activism, land-defence, working class wellbeing, anti-racism, migrant justice, etc. ~ to share tactics, visions, hope, songs, resources and more.
