Why Us and Why you?
About Celtic raven Theracraft
Why We Exist
Building Celtic Raven hasn’t been without its challenges. Balancing full-time work with nurturing a heart-led dream stretched our time and energy. Especially when what we were trying to do was help people to slow down.
Reigning in our abundant creative ideas was a lesson in focus and intention. We wanted to make everything — and through that process, we had to discover what truly mattered.
Celtic Raven was born from a feeling many of us know but seldom name — that something vital to being human is quietly slipping away: our touch with the natural world, the grounding of our hands in making, and the timeless pulse of belonging. In a world that rushes us indoors and away from the earth beneath our feet, we saw how easily this quiet, essential thread of life can be lost.
Our Philosophy
We believe that slowing down and creating with intention can heal and reveal parts of ourselves long forgotten. Through hands-on making, held safely within the guidance of qualified psychotherapists and holistic therapists, we reconnect with an ancient, human way of knowing. Reflection, and creativity that restores balance, clarity, and a deeper sense of self.
We don’t come here to make perfect things — we come to make meaningful moments. We come to remember parts of ourselves that modern life often asks us to forget.
What We Offer
Celtic ravens' half-day and full-day mini retreats weave hands-on creativity with thoughtful therapeutic practices.
Each of our classes is inspired by myth, archetype, and folklore, for storytelling is the wellspring of human creativity — and through these ancient tales, we find the pathways that guide us to our own.
Each retreat invites you to:
-
Slow down and breathe
-
Reconnect with yourself and think about nature and the world.
-
Create with intention and curiosity
-
Explore your inner world in a gentle, supportive setting
-
space to reflect, express, and shift — not just through crafting, but through felt experience
.
