The Gathering is an immersive residential weekend dedicated to trance and physical mediumship, held within the powerful setting of a historic castle in County Durham.

Across the weekend, we will explore elements of trance states, physical mediumship, and altered states of awareness, alongside practical and experiential work. The weekend will also include an evening spirit investigation, working with sound, recording equipment, EVP, and other forms of paranormal exploration.

This is a focused, experiential weekend for those drawn to deeper states of spirit communication and physical phenomena. Spaces are limited to maintain the integrity and safety of the work.

Accommodation is included, along with continental breakfast each morning.
Lunch and dinner are not included; however, we will eat together locally, with details provided closer to the event.
