The Gathering

This is not about performance. This is about presence. This is about power. This is about spirit.

A unique residential experience held in a historic castle setting, dedicated to deeper exploration of trance, physical mediumship and the power of sitting in the energy together.

The Gathering is created for those who feel drawn to the older traditions of mediumship, where working in the power, building energy, and allowing the spirit world to come closer is at the heart of the experience.

This weekend offers a different atmosphere to our other residentials — quieter, stronger, and more focused on the blending of energies between this world and the spirit world.

Through group sittings, demonstrations, teaching and shared moments, we create the right conditions for something very special to unfold.

Held within the unique environment of the castle, the energy of the space itself becomes part of the experience, helping us to slow down, go deeper, and work in a more traditional way.

What the weekend holds:

Across the weekend we explore elements of trance states, physical mediumship and altered states of awareness, alongside practical and experiential work. The weekend also includes an evening spirit investigation — working with sound, recording equipment, EVP and other forms of paranormal exploration.

This is a focused, experiential weekend for those drawn to deeper states of spirit communication. Spaces are deliberately limited to maintain the integrity and safety of the work.

Who it's for:

This isn't a first-steps weekend — it will suit those already comfortable sitting with spirit who feel drawn to the older, quieter traditions of the work. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, just ask — TJ's team will give you an honest answer.
