Explore, with Peter, your heritage and think about the messages, left in stone, by our ancestors. What were they saying and what does all this mean to you right now.

Mini-bus tours are run periodically in association with Discover Dorset Tours. Please contact them for details, bookings and prices. Peter is the guide on these tours, and these trips are also available for private hire. www.discoverdorset.co.uk

Sacred Sites of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. A day with Pete and Sue around the stone circles and sacred tors of this ancient granite upland. With chanting, drumming, and deeply connecting with this ancient landscape and the Ancestors.

Sacred Dartmoor Let Peter take you on a magical tour (day or weekend) of this ancient and beautiful landscape, based on his latest book, Dartmoor Mindscapes – Re-Visioning A Sacred Landscape. Stone circles, stone rows, rock basins, propped stones, and granite tors will be visited. Includes mediation, shamanic drumming, alignments, dowsing the energies, and much more! A truly magical and experiential tour, over one or two days.

Mystical Avebury is a full day that includes the main henge, West Kennet Avenue and Long Barrow, Silbury Hill, leys, dowsing and simulacra. It is a truly magical day (usually held in crop circle season) yielding many surprises even to regular Avebury visitors. Experiencing the St Michael Line energies dowsed through the landscape we finish the day with drumming inside West Kennet long barrow.

Shamanic Drumming at Avebury; an evening of dreams we walk, a drum-led procession, along the Kennet Avenue, before moving on to the 5,600 year-old West Kennet long barrow, where we witness the sunset before entering the dark chambers of the womb-tomb for chanting and drumming, didging and dancing!
