• Transport to take us to the special sites on the island on the days and evenings when we are not in the forge. We will be taking some time on the island to visit particular sites, including the large stone circles. A mini-bus available to take us to all the sites during the week, as and when the energy leads us.
Not included in the price:
• Materials for the bowl making - average cost is from £10 - £70 upwards based on size and type of material chosen.

• Fees to some of the sites - where applicable from £4.40 - £7.50.
• In the event of a group decision leading us to another island each person will be responsible for their fare.
• Travel to Orkney - it's a substantial undertaking and well worth spending time with all of the many options. From our experience the journey is a joy and a huge part of the process of a deep immersion retreat such as this one.
We begin on Thursday 12th July from 4.30 pm and complete in the evening of Wednesday 18th July.
