POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Presenting our third anthology of new stories inspired by Arthur Machen’s masterpiece ‘The White People.’
We invited some of the leading lights in horror to riff on the theme of ‘The Green Book’ which is considered by many to be the singular greatest piece of writing in weird fiction. The result is this remarkable anthology of 16 new stories

Following on from our previous anthologies, Unquiet Slumbers: Folk Horror Tales and All of Them Witches. The book will be illustrated by World Fantasy Award Winning artist, Samuel Araya.

It was so nice to meet @jexshingami after they have been promoting P2TM, and she got to meet Ozzy and raise awareness of the @wackenfoundation.official

Keep being awesome! Metalheads are the best people!

It is with great pleasure that we present the first work of fiction on The Peculiar Path: The Visitor by Lancaster author @jexshingami

📖 A gentle, character-driven ghost story—one that lingers not through horror, but through quiet resonance. A story of memory, loss, and the comfort of being seen.

🍵 Brew a cup of tea and settle in. This one stays with you.

📢 Let us know what you think in the comments—we’d love to hear your thoughts.
And if you’ve written something of your own, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Beinn Alligan’s first Munro today. Perfect conditions. Bucket list. Views all the way to the outer Hebrides. Thank you to @jexshingami for driving us into the absolute middle of nowhere for this one.

Thanks for the birthday wishes all. I started my 38th year up some big silly mountains so it’s literally all downhill from here.

RETREATS ✨

You feel as if you’re taking a much needed break in a place where you can relax and rejuvenate…even though you didn’t know you needed that time and space. Taking yourself on a retreat is one of the best gift of self care - to be taken care of and put first.

We spent a week in Italy where we supported each other, not just on our practice, fell together, laughed a lot and just connected ⚡️ connected with each other, with nature but most importantly with our breath, coming back to our centre 🙏

I love holding this space and watching individuals come together as individuals and leaving as connected individuals with new friends and feeling lighter ❤️ excited to be wrapping up 2022 with another retreat at the end of November deep in the Cotswolds at @pauntley_court with open fires 🍃 the food prepared by @jayhalfordchef will be absolutely phenomenal, on site massages by @webandflowfitness will give you that extra bit of ahhh 😌 we have room for two more of you to join us on this magical weekend if you are looking for a bit of time to focus on you 🌼

We also have a day retreat on Dec 4th at @yardspaceevents with wreath making by the fire in the afternoon with @grownandforagedgatherings 🎄 keep an eye out tomorrow for a giveaway we’re running!
