Connect to the Land
The Annual Swedish Workshop
The Swedish workshop Week is ONLY avaliable to student currently enrolled or graduated in our main course.
The training takes place in the beautiful forests of countryside Sweden, in the small village of Hedekas. Today a sleepy Swedish village shared equally shared by human farmers, elves and ancient dead but once upon a time the home of Seafaring Rock Carvers of the Bronze age and an important part of the old Kingdom of Alvhem (Elvenheim), ruled by kings like Gandalf The Old. This is where events like the kingly wars mentioned in the Heimskringla the crowning of king Sverre of Norway in the 12th century and Ages and last but not least, where J.R.R. Tolkien found lots of inspiration for his books on the “Hobbit” and “Lord of The Rings”. In other words; The perfect place to connect with the spirits of the land throughout time and learn the magic of these lands.
