Rhiannon is the Welsh Goddess who married a mortal. She is also know as the Maiden Goddess of the Spring and the Lover Goddess of the time of Beltane (30th April/1st May).

Rhiannon comes riding into our lives galloping upon her totem animal the white mare. She comes in the form of blosoms and flowers, of the first warm rays of the sun and the excitement of a new lover. She is the heady scent of fresh blooms and the fertile promise of a summer filled with love.

Rhiannon is beauty and it is this quality that this two day workshop aims to bring out in you.

To journey with Rhiannon is to:

  • Know love, for She answers only to LOVE.

  • Be Creative - via the written word, paint or clay.

  • Be confident - using music, dance meditation and masks we reconnect to our lover archtypes.

  • Go deep within.

  • Have your voice heard through discussion and sharing of experiences of love.

Spending time with Rhiannon is to really look at what it is about yourself you do not love and to honour that and move on. When you are ready Rhiannon calls you...

Before we leave the workshop we create a ceremony together and leave our offerings of love and thanks for all that Rhiannon has shown us.

Rhiannon's Story

In the Mabinogion of Welsh mythology Rhiannon first appeared as a beautiful otherworldly woman dressed in gold and riding a white horse. Lord Pwyll, a nobleman, became besotted by Rhiannon and sent his horsemen to find out who she was. After three days, he finally chased her himself but could not catch her. Eventually he called for her to stop for the sake of Love and she did so. Rhiannon was promised to another, but made an agreement with Pwyll to be his bride. After some trickery to free her from the agreement with the other man, Pwyll and Rhiannon were married.

After three years Rhiannon gave birth to a boy and whilst Rhiannon slept he was cared for by 6 midwives, but the baby disappeared.
Fearing their punishment, the midwives sought to imply that Rhiannon had murdered her child.

Pwyll imposed a penance on Rhiannon for her alleged crime, to remain in the court of Arberth for seven years, and to sit every day near a horse-block outside the gate telling her story to all that passed. In addition, she was to carry any willing guest to the court on her back.

At the stable of King Teyrnon a mysterious beast came to take a newborn foal; Teyrnon stopped the beast and found the child outside the stable. He and his wife adopted him. The child grew to adulthood in only seven years and was given the foal which had led Teyrnon to the stable. Teyrnon realized who the child was and returned him to Pwyll and Rhiannon, who named him Pryderi (care).
