CANCELLATION POLICY FOR ALL COURSES
My apologies for the delay in updating my website!
2025 has been a turbulent year of unforeseen events and I have been forced to rethink both the locations where I teach and the technology/platforms I use for making my teachings accessible.
Below you will find my answers to the most frequently asked questions at the time of updating this page.
If anything is unclear, to express interest or submit a request for course, feel free to email me.
Imelda, 20 October 2025
Why did you take down your on-line school (Pregnant Hag Teachings) in September 2025?
The hosting platform that I used, Teachable, suddenly announced a quadrupling of the annual fees. At heart I am an in-person teacher. I do some online teaching, but it is not the bulk of my work. Up to summer 2025 the school was ticking along (meaning that the payments from people watching recordings in their own time covered the hosting fees I was paying) but suddenly I would have been out of pocket for a significant amount of money every month, had I kept the school. So I decided to release it and re-vision the way I work.
Will you teach any Seiðr courses and modules in Canada?
And advanced student and I are currently in communication with a retreat centre in Winnipeg about them hosting the advanced modules of my professional Seiðr program (as it currently runs in Sweden). We have not yet confirmed dates. I post an updated version of my teaching schedule on Substack 2 - 3 times a year. That is the where any news first appears (and is sent out to all subscribers).
Will you ever teach all the modules of your 3-year Seiðr program in Sweden online?
The whole point about my Forest School in Sweden is the stunning scenery (the forest, the lake, the sea, the archipelago on the doorstep) and the Iron and Bronze age sites (grave mounds, stone circles, petroglyphs, rune stones etc.) The spirits of the land are powerful co-teachers in my work there. I cannot replicate that on Zoom. At best I can teach the theory I cover and give guidance for people to work on land local to them - but I cannot provide the Sweden Experience online.
Therefore I will never run the entire program online but I might consider teaching some of the theory online in the future, when I am more "time rich" than I am right now.
Will you teach the in-person Seiðr Introduction Course at your Forest School in Sweden in the future?
Yes, I am planning to offer this course in Sweden in the late Spring or Summer of 2027.
Will the Sweden program run, in its entirety, all over again when your current cohort graduates?
My current cohort will graduate in September 2026. As I am entering my Early Hag Years I will not commit to teaching any more 3-year programs. My plan is to teach the modules again, but announce them one at a time and move at a slower place because I also plan to teach Forest Witch and Reclaiming the Hag art retreats in the same location.
You and Valarie Budayr were organising a trip to Sápmi to meet Sámi Elders and learn about Sami cosmology and traditions in the summer of 2026. What is happening there?
As some of you already know, Valarie experienced a serious accident this year. While her healing journey is unfolding beautifully, it has become clear that we need to create more spaciousness in 2026. For this reason, we will not be holding the Sápmi retreat next year. This decision comes from a place of deep respect—for Valarie's recovery, for each of you, and for the sacred lands of Sápmi. We remain devoted to this work, and when the timing is right, we will return with the fullness, care, and integrity that this retreat deserves.
Will there be another Sacred Art Retreat at Valarie's Mongata Healing Center in Santa Fe (New Mexico)? Some of us students requested the Sacred Sexuality Retreat run there!
Currently there are no plans on the table, for both personal and geopolitical reasons.
Will you continue to run sacred art retreats in London, UK?
Yes, I am teaching the DANCING THE BEAR RETREAT here in London 1 - 5 December 2025 and I will schedule INANNA'S DESCENT for December 2027 (dates to be announced in February 2026 when I open registration!)
