Our Community

This tradition is a way of being in this world and life, not a religious practice. To live in accordance with this tradition is a choice and an invitation to any and all. It is a forest in which we can walk in unity and harmony with all the children of the earth. 

We welcome as friends and family those who wish to follow our ways either informally or formally. Many come as guests and friends to sit in the light and warmth of the Sagh’ic tribal hearth, as humans have done since time immemorial; we are all a warming of hearts in ourselves! And you are welcome to be with us, for here is the family gathered – members of the community, elders, teachers, students and children. The family around the hearth, who are indeed the hearth itself. They are the flames that extend beyond the boundaries of the ‘fireplace’. They are of the tradition’s blood and sit in sacred acceptance and defence of all who gather by the tribal fire.

The Sagh’ic is a tradition that takes its journey (calendar) from The Thirteen Moons lunar cycle. We call to the Moon, birthed to guide and gather us, as she leads the nomadic journey of life – the Wheel of Seasons.

The Ancient Ones tell of the time when all lived as one song, one bone, one blood, one breath, in the Deep, Dark, Green Forest, and how it was that the first human fell into the shadowed dream and forgot that oneness. So many times, the Ancient Ones, the Ancestral Spirits, and the Old Ones of the land tried, and try, relentlessly to bring the two-leggeds back to that oneness. It is for this reason and this hope, that the Sagh’ic put and take great value and emphasis on community, tribe, clan and family.

And so it is that this community of communities, close and far, gather in dreams, in reality, and remotely, aspiring for that almost forgotten time; gathering in celebration, ceremony, learning, sharing and prayer.

“What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now.”  Gautama Buddha

These Communities are formed under the guidance and directives of the sacred stories of the Sagh’ic Tradition, which were dreamed, unwoven and rewoven through deep journey work and egregorial communion with ancestors and spirits over many years by our Elder John-Luke, who founded these communities around the world, to share this sacred wisdom with all who seek. The work is in keeping and in community with all Animist Traditions that hold the Earth, and call Her ‘home’, who all live in equal relationship with each other.​

Sagh’ic-Tire Dhream; is not a religion or cult, rather it is an animist traditional way of simplicity and living, rife with ceremony, ritual and sacred stories. Its prime guidance being that of relationship with all things regardless of species, definition, race, creed, and all those other categories we humans like to divide our world up with. It does not seek publicity, neither does it seek to recruit or proselytise or evangelise, rather it is a calling to a return to living in “the forest” where we can walk in unity, harmony and kinship with all the children of the earth. And we hold our hands out in continuous welcome and sharing.

Membership: getting involved

We would welcome you to sit around our hearth as a member of the ‘tribe’. Membership is a more integral means of supporting this growing group, by which members can be part of that ancestral and cosmological relationship alone with the inception, planning and actioning of direction, purpose and work of the Community and this ‘group’. The larger we grow the more we may be able to accomplish and become.

There will be two forms of membership;

Basic: supporting, being part of and informed of the work, events etc.

Ùranach: (which requires the undertaking of a short spirit awareness course) will be a more active part of the membership, with discounts for upcoming events etc.

Each type of membership will have annual registering fees, which we plan to keep at a minimum. Membership fees go towards sustaining and supporting the community’s ongoing work, training programmes and subsidies, and of course the staging of gatherings and events.

Membership fees also go towards sustaining and supporting the community’s ongoing work, training programmes, newsletters, and subsidies.

If you would like to support us, join the community, seek training, guidance or get involved in some other way please complete the registration form below.
