Regional Events & Camps
Since 2019, it has been the intention of Sacred Arts Camp help encourage the creation of more regional events and camps all over the UK to expand the essence of Sacred Arts from just the one big camp to lots of smaller events over the course of the year.
These events have blossomed over the past few years and the intention of this page is to list those events and camps,
If you are hosting an event or camp and wish it to be listed on this page, please email details to events@sacredartscamp.org

Camp: Yew Tree Camps
- 21st-30th July 2023
Near Usk, Monmouthshire
This camp will be in two halves: Fri 21st July-Tue 25th and Wed 26 - Sun 30 July
You have the option to come to the entire camp or to either half.
£1115 per person for one half or £195 per person for both.
Prices flexible for those who need it. Working tickets available.
Meadow Ground overlooks the gorgeous Welsh Valleys and enjoys dramatic views and spectacular skies from its position on the hillside. The Stone Circle is a formation of English and Welsh stones, which came together serendipitously to create a deep and mystical place for the dances. We are immersed in nature amongst the hedgehogs, owls, buzzards, bluebells, orchids and new and old trees.
The land has been lovingly tended to and developed to create the beautiful and magical setting for these camps. We are blessed by the full range of weather that Wales provides; beautiful sunny days, misty rainy days and everything in between - it is therefore good to pack for all seasons!
The program will consist of Dances of Universal Peace and many other workshops led by a variety of wonderful teachers.
We hope to foster open-hearted connection and intentional community through these practices and our shared experiences together on the land. As we are a small camp, there is the opportunity to co-develop aspects of the programme. We welcome you to bring along any arts and crafts that you enjoy or would like to share.We have various sheltered spaces for workshops, lovely compost loos (including a new accessible compost toilet) and a mains water supply for drinking, hand washing, cooking, and basic off-grid showering and bathing. We will maintain an open fire which marks the centre of our camping circle.
Please remember that booking is essential, as it is important for us to have a clear idea of numbers so that we can maintain a small, intimate camp which respects the land and our neighbourhood.

It is a privilege to be outdoors in nature, sharing food round the fire, and experiencing dance in such a beautiful setting. We also have some indoor dances, during the winter.
We do a mix of circle dances and peace dances, all with live music.
Everything is taught simply, and is suitable for anyone, some dances are lively and
some more meditative.Dancing between 4-7pm, with a break for food (soup) in the middle (bring a bowl & spoon).
