Land on the land to come alive inside your own skin by Melanie Santorini “Hi there, my name is Melanie Santorini, Swimming Forest Seer. I’m a mystic, a shamana, sometimes called a witch, and an ex-vicar. In these various capacities, I’ve held soul-medicine circles for nearly forty years: sacred spaces where you can plug-in deep and simply be yourself, knowing your voice will be listened to and respected.”
It is truly a magical place - ancient, alive and mysterious. From here I also offer on-line soulmedicine sessions, plus in-person deep-dive solo intensive residential retreats. The three-to-seven night programmes, Opening Pandora’s Box, held in our nearby well-appointed, self-catering holiday cottage, Sadhana Bothy Retreat (bookable through AirBnB) are not for the fainthearted or spiritual novice.” If you are curious about whether soul-medicine might be for you, check out Melanie’s website www.melaniesantorini.org You can also buy Melanie’s memoir. Majesteria: from bad-ass vicar to bare-breasted priestess in seven-years via a horse, a motorhome and a boat (Balboa Press 2019). Also on our gifts page 46.
These days I specialise in holding space for women entering, navigating or exiting the turbulent waters of menopause. Pre-lockdown I offered Soul Spa Days from my home at the edge of the Black Wood on the shores of Loch Rannoch, Perthshire. 38 Scotland in Four Seasons Winter
