The intention is to create a space where time slips away and dreamy slumber is welcomed.

This practice is limited to a small group so that attention can be fully given to props, adjustments, and touch.

Walking with Myth - Honouring the Cailleach
Nov

Walking with Myth - Honouring the Cailleach

Community hike to discover Tigh nam Bodach

Our intention with this community hike is to explore through myth and honour the changing of the seasons.

We will leave from The Kali Collective at 7.30am and head to Glen Lyon, from there we will walk to Tigh nam Bodach. A moderate 5 hour walk (16k approx), with the potential to be boggy (it is Scotland) and access to the Tigh nam Bodach will depend on whether the river is in spate and if its safe to cross!

We will be organising some 'car pools' to and from the studio. For those of you that can't drive, we will try our best to arrange transportation. If you are a driver and have space in your car we are also looking for volunteer drivers. We will make a whatsapp group nearer the time to discuss transportation.

As it will be November we advise proper and appropriate outdoor attire. This includes: winter walking boots, waterproofs, warm layers, a change of clothes, hat and gloves, headtorch, food for the day, including emergency food. A map, compass and whistle.

Please book in via the link below so know to expect you, we will send out an email prior our hike, inviting you to the WhatsApp group.

We look forward to hiking with you!

About The Cailleach:

The Cailleach (pronounced KAL-yach, Kali similarities abound but that's another tale…) is the archetypal Old Woman of Scottish and Irish mythology. She’s a fearsome character with white hair, a dark blue face, rust-coloured teeth and a single eye in the middle of her forehead; she whips up great storms and ice forms in her wake. The tales are told of a woman who created the land and guarded the animals and wild spaces against humans. A woman who raised her voice to protect the earth and its wild things.

The story in Glen Lyon is that the Cailleach and her family were once given shelter in the Glen. So grateful for the hospitality the Cailleach left stones outside the house she occupied, the Tigh nam Bodach. The biggest stone, represents the Cailleach, the other two stones represent her husband and their daughter. Every year around Samhain the stones get moved back inside the hut for winter, and every year at Beltane the stones get moved back outside the hut for summer.

Supper for the Soul - A Halloween Dinner for the Dead
Oct
29

Supper for the Soul - A Halloween Dinner for the Dead

The time around Halloween marks a liminal moment in our calendars. The space between the final flares of Autumn and the cold encroaching months of winter. It is also the time of Samhain, a moment when the veil between spaces is believed to be thinner and a moment to remember those who have passed. This can be done through ritual, gathering together and feasting. It is traditionally a night to name and face fears, a time to face the dark outside of us and the dark inside of us.

In this transitional period between the seasons and between the spaces of living and dead the Kali Collective invites you to “Supper for the Soul: A Halloween dinner for the dead”. We will be hosting an evening of meditation, remembrance, a silent supper and circle.

Please note we only have 20 spaces available due to catering, please do book in early to grab your spot!
