The Bardic Earth Connection
Welcome, one and all,
Day by day and year on year we journey this life of lifetimes, open to the influence of the energy of The Earth and the elements. Shaped by the will of circumstance and experience, we live and learn as we follow our path along the spiral of infinity. We come from the Earth and return to the Earth in the timeless, endless flow of living energy, together as one, in love, peace and harmony with the strength and power of unity, the eternal spirit as one before the Sun.

And On This Day We Raised The Stones
On this day we commended these stones, returning them to the Earth. The strength of substance and formation of generations, removed from the all surrounding land, now returned to the harmony of Mother Earth to rest in peace. With love, peace and joy in our hearts, with our toil of spirit, we enclosed our circle, the light has ignited.
A deep, deep connection and understanding, forged since childhood, has spanned and bridged two pathways of living and learning and feeling, the spiral of life’s rich tapestry. Weaving and exploring the threads of discovery and circumstance, teachings and philosophies, the intricacies of understanding and reality and truth. Arriving, after a journey nearing forty years, delivering Mylo Hawk Elderin and Morien Ravenstone to the point of realisation on the spiral of infinity, hope and truth, to this, The Sunwheel Grove.
Over time, many toil filled hours have shared with blood, sweat and tears, their poignant reminders of mortality and fallibility . The reality of time and its intolerance for impatience and the understanding and harmony of nature with its gift of peace and reassurance, acceptance and unity.
As we venture onward along the eternal spiral, there are lessons there to learn. Of spiritual and material, of vision and of faith. Is all that we have all that we wish for, is all that we wish for, all that we want. Is all that we want all that we need. Is all that we need, all that we need! Is the answer just a whim of the moment or is it the truth, rooted deep in the Earth. Is it a comfort in your own understanding of destiny, faith and re-birth.
There are flaws in the threads of evolution that snag on the thorns created by man. A stumble from grace here, a rush of blood in ignorance there and we lose our harmony with the Earth. Earth, our true Mother and the bearer of all life.
We are all children of Mother Earth, misguided and confused. Gone are the ways of compassion, faith, understanding and unity. Gone are the virtues of peace, love, hope and harmony. All too often replaced by the hunger of opportunity, selfishness and greed.
Here, in the Grove of the ‘ Sunwheel ’, we honour your dignity, pride and passion in the tide of life. We offer this Grove in the hope that we might share in the complexities of nature and the power of the elements and their energies. To walk the pathway hand in hand in harmony with hope, peace and love to guide us with compassion, faith, understanding and the truth of unity.
We believe in the power, energy and grace of nature and its influences, The Sun, The Moon, The Earth and the elements.
We are all children of Mother Earth. The flora and fauna, the breath of hope and peace. The harmony and balance of all living things. From the rock of foundation with its ageless strength and purpose. The constant renewal of the Earth with its gift of life and fertility. The water, the oceans and streams alike, their power, passion and drink of life. To the trees and their sanctuary, elegance and breath of life.
The beauty and wonder of the chorus of bird song. The rich tapestry of life’s creation and nature’s garden and her harvest and bounty.
We celebrate too, The Sun, The Father. The ignition of creation and his cycle of life throughout the year. Shining on like a guardian of the soul with his warmth and light.
And so too, The Moon. Like a Goddess to the stars. Sharing her reflected light like a beacon of love and hope in the darkness, her caressing touch pulling at the oceans, the seas, the lakes and the flow of the natural energies within us all.
The Sunwheel Grove
Our Grove is built on the solid foundation of the balance and energies of a triangle.
The Triad of harmony and balance.
The Sun, The Moon and The Earth.
The spiral of infinity connects three unique perspectives to create a web of understanding and a network of energy, harmony and belonging. The strength and power of one infinite pathway to follow in love, peace and joy.
