THE ANCIENT TREE OGHAM WELLBEING GROUP
In this wellbeing group, we'll be meeting up weekly to explore the ancient wisdom of the Irish Ogham trees with trained therapist and Celtic folklore fanatic, Kubi May. Each Tuesday at 11am, we’ll meet in local nature areas of Glastonbury for guided meditations, Eco therapy mindfulness walks and cups of tea while exploring the folklore myths and traditions left behind by the Druids.

The Tree Ogham (pronounced "Oh-am") originates from early medieval Ireland and Celtic culture. Its exact origins are debated, but it is believed to have been a writing system created around the 4th century AD. Ogham consists of a series of 20 letters, created from engraved notches along a central line, which are found on standing stones and wooden posts all over the United Kingdom and Ireland. In a medieval 14th Century manuscript called 'In Lebor Ogaim' (The Book of Oghams, pictured below), we learn that the 20 Ogham letters correspond to over 100 lists including lists of birds, colours and forts. Though the most popular of all was a list of trees, each representing a different symbolic meaning, life wisdom and teaching, reflecting the Celts' deep connection to the natural world.
