Christiana Aro-Harle is a northern shamanic healer and wise woman. And it is with great honour and excitement that we can announce that Christiana Aro-Harle will be joining us at the Gathering! Christiana has lived and worked intensively for several periods with traditional shamans in the Republic of Tuva, Siberia. Christiana’s initiation took place in Tuva. She carries one of the first Düngür Shaman red membership cards. She is the assistant editor of the book ‘Shamanic Songs and Myths of Tuva’ by Mongush Kenin-Lopsan and made a film on Tuvan life: ‘In the Arms of Buddha and the Drum’ (director Jouko Aaltonen: www.illume.fi). The female and male shamans she worked with in ’94 and ’95 carried different lineages: Sky-, Albys-, Earth roots. She keeps her ties with Tuva.  Christiana is also a shamanic counsellor, with over thirty years leading workshops and groups on the shamanic path; offering individual and group shamanic healing and drum birthing in Finland and Estonia or wherever she is called. Christiana leads ceremony and rituals with a desire to enliven and weave them into local life and Life transitions. Much of her entire life has been spent working with sacred song, singing aloud the healing and journey. Returning the sacred sauna as healing ceremony and initiation is also part of her life’s task.

We said that there would be more teachers, and there are! We are delighted to announce that Shenoah Taylor and Dina Gomez will also be joining us this year. Together, they beautifully embody this year’s theme: “20 Years of Medicine. One Circle. One Fire.” Shenoah attended the very first Gathering in Glastonbury Town Hall 20 years ago, while this will be Dina’s first year teaching with us.
We love how they represent both the continuity and renewal that keep the Gathering alive - the long threads of community, memory, and return, woven together with fresh perspectives and new energies.
Stay tuned. We will be announcing more teachers soon. We're excited to announce that Anthar Kharana will be joining us again this year. Anthar, a native from Ocaña a small town in the North of Colombia, is a medicine man, ceremonial leader and sound healer. He brings a deeply embodied fusion of sound, ritual, and ancestral wisdom.   We’re extending our Early Bird deadline!
The response to this year’s gathering has been so heartfelt that we’ve decided to keep the Early Bird tickets open for a little longer. We know that sometimes people need a few extra days to make plans, gather resources, or simply feel into the decision - and we want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to join us around the fire. This gathering is about community, connection, ceremony, creativity, music, learning, and coming home to what matters most. If you’ve been thinking about coming, consider this your gentle nudge. Early Bird pricing is now available until 18 May. We’d love to welcome you there. BOOK YOUR PLACE We’re excited to introduce our first teachers. More will be announced as the programme continues to take shape.
We're excited to announce that bookings are now open. Everything you need is under the menus at the top of the page.  We are excited to finally announce that this year's theme will be 20 Years of Medicine. One Circle. One Fire. On the occasion of our 20th Anniversary we wanted a theme that honors both our shared history and the unifying purpose that continues to drive us forward. The circle represents the community we’ve built over two decades: interconnected, collaborative, and enduring. The fire at the center symbolizes the passion, compassion, and commitment to healing that fuels every breakthrough, every bedside moment, and every life touched. Together, they tell the story of where we’ve been, what binds us, and the collective spark that will light the way for the next 20 years of medicine. A range of photos from our 2025 Gathering. |
