The Harvest - Lúnasa Online Gathering

THE HARVEST

Foraging for the Stories of the Land

Thursday 6th August 2026

- 6.30pm to 9.30pm - via zoom

Join this Lúnasa gathering with Sarah Fox and Sam Gravestock.

Stories have always helped us understand where we are, who we are, and how we might live.

In this gathering, we will explore storytelling as both an ancient craft and a living practice of relationship. We will work with archetype, theme and recurring motifs in folklore, discovering how myth can become a map through the complexities of our own lives.

Sarah will share the story of Lugh Samildánach, the many-gifted one. Through storytelling, reflection and embodied practice, we will explore how inherited myths can help us recognise our gifts, find our voices and understand the stories unfolding within us.

Alongside the old stories, Sam will invite us to forage for the stories of the land as it is speaking now.

The lore of a place is not found only in ancient manuscripts. It lives in river names, wells, pathways, ruins, field boundaries, hills, woodlands and townlands. It also lives in the encounters and impressions that arise when we slow down and pay attention.

At a time of deep disconnection from land, gathering these living tales can become an act of reconnection. By listening for the stories held within a place, we begin to weave ourselves back into the wider story of the land.

Together, we will explore inherited myth and lived experience, the ancient story and the story still being formed.

This gathering will include storytelling, land-based practice, somatic exploration and creative reflection, offering space to listen for the stories that have shaped you, the stories the land may be telling, and the stories you are ready to carry into the next season of your life. 

Expect:
* Nature connection and sensory awareness practices
* Myth, folklore, and seasonal storytelling
* Somatic and embodied movement explorations.
* Plant connection and practical earth skills like nettle cordage and nettle seed preparation 
* Ritual, reflection, and shared conversation and laughter.

Come gather at the virtual ceremonial fire as the harvest begins. Let modernity meet primal cravings for celebration and connection.
