This Beltane, as the natural world erupts into vibrant life, we invite you to a sacred sanctuary nestled in the rolling hills of the Peak District, where the boundaries blur and the ancient call of the land sings true. This is more than an event; it is a primal remembrance, a pilgrimage back to your wildest, most authentic self.
Our guide for this journey is the Spirit of Hawthorn. The Hawthorn, or May tree, is the essence of Beltane; the gatekeeper between worlds, a fierce protector, and heart opening powerful plant ally. At this gathering, you will learn to sit with her wisdom, recognizing her thorns as necessary boundaries and her delicate white blossoms as the promise of new joy.
Our session will flow through a tapestry of experiences designed to reconnect us to Mother Earth, ourselves and to honour the turning of the wheel.
Together we will explore…

Hawthorn is generally well-tolerated but contraindicated for individuals with a known allergy to Crataegus or the rose family. It should be avoided during pregnancy (potential uterine stimulation) and breastfeeding. Use caution with, or avoid if you have, severe low blood pressure (hypotension) or bradycardia (slow heart rate).
Hawthorn is generally safe for short-term use, but it can interact with heart, blood pressure, and sedative medications, creating risks for those with low blood pressure, bradycardia, or who are pregnant/nursing. It may interact with medications like digoxin, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers.
Key Contraindications and Safety Warnings:
Heart Conditions: Consult a doctor if you have heart conditions or are taking heart medication (e.g., digoxin, beta-blockers). It may increase the effect of these drugs.
Bradycardia/Hypotension: Because hawthorn can lower blood pressure and decrease heart rate, it is not recommended for individuals with already low blood pressure (hypotension) or a slow heart rate (bradycardia).
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Do not use hawthorn during pregnancy, as it may stimulate uterine activity. Safety during breastfeeding has not been established, and it is best avoided.
Surgery: Stop using at least 2 weeks before scheduled surgery, as it may increase bleeding risks.
Drug Interactions: Consult a doctor if taking erectile dysfunction meds, blood thinners (antiplatelets/anticoagulants), or antihypertensives.
Digoxin: Increases the effect, which can lead to toxicity.
Anticoagulants/Antiplatelets: May enhance the effects of blood thinners, increasing the risk of bleeding.
Vasodilators/Nitrates: Combined use can cause an extreme drop in blood pressure.
CNS Depressants: May enhance sedative effects.
Children: Not recommended for children under 12.
