OAK DRAGON 2006 - Creative Change Camp

OAK DRAGON ​

Creative Change Camp ​

Rites of Passage and Community ​

Gloucestershire 4th – 13th August 2006 ​

Every summer, around the ancient festival of Lammas, people of all ages and from many walks of life, gather together for 10 days and collectively create a safe and caring community, living closely with nature. This forms the energetic structure in which a variety of workshops, ceremonies and celebrations take place, and is the spirit of Oak Dragon Camps.

For 2006, the camp will be focussing on change and transition both in our personal lives and beyond. As we change within ourselves, learning to live in more inner peace, so we can bring that back from the camp into the outer world, integrating our experiences, thereby making small changes to society.

"Inner peace leads to world peace" H.H. Dalai Lama

Rites of Passage, celebration and ceremony, held within a supportive and caring community so frequently lacking in today’s western society, is an important part of acknowledging changes within ourselves, helping us to move harmoniously through times of transition.

Events at the camp may include:

• Ritual
• Dance
• Dowsing
• Drumming
• Guest Speakers
• Shamanic Journeying
• Labyrinth
• Runes
• Storytelling
• Sweat Lodge
• T’ai Chi
• Vision Quest

As well as ceremony, there will be opportunity to explore the theoretical and creative sides of life’s changes, with a variety of workshops exploring the ways and means of change, as practised in a variety of cultures, and craft and music workshops to explore with fun a creative expression of our individual or collective transformational journey through life.

It is amazing the magic that can be created in a field, on an organic farm close to beautiful woods near Cirencester! Come and be amazed, create, have fun, share in celebration and ceremony, make new friends, and return to normal life. To “be the change you want to see in the world!” (Ghandi)

As well as other guest speakers and teachers at the camp, Professor Ronald Hutton of Bristol University will be giving a talk at Oak Dragon this year. Ronald is a leading authority on the history of the British Isles in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, on ancient and medieval paganism and magic, and on the global context of witchcraft beliefs. He is also the leading historian of the ritual year in Britain and the current world expert on the history of modern paganism.
