Sardinia, the Footprint of Divinity
2026-09-27 17:00 - 19:00 (Europe/London)
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the importance of Sardinia in the Swan of Europe landscape temple, and how it is part of the Europa and Bull Mystery from which Europe derives its name.
Sardinia was considered a sacred mountain prior to the last flood and the creation of the Mediterranean Sea. It was formerly joined with Corsica and mainland Europe. It is an island of beauty with 7000 ancient temples and sanctuaries. Many of the temples were built by the Nuraghe (‘the shining ones’) between 2500-3000 BC. The Nuraghe were navigators, mathematicians and astronomers.
Sardinia was called Ichnusa by the Greeks, meaning ‘footprint’, because the island is shaped like a footprint. The Greeks also called the island Argyrophleps, meaning “veins of silver”, because of its rich ancient silver mines.
Sardinia, the Silver Isle, is the twin of Corsica, the Golden Isle, whose heart mountain is Monte d’Oro, ‘Mountain of Gold’. The friendship between the two is like an amalgam of silver and gold – a golden friendship, silver-tinged.
This talk on Zoom acts as a precursor to the Shakespeare Mystery in Sardinia hybrid event, ‘Living the Beauty of Golden Friendship’. The talk can be attended by anyone interested in the subject, as well as by participants in the hybrid event.
For those who attend the talk, there will be time for questions, answers and insights after the talk. This post-talk sharing is usually full of extra information.
Time = 17:00-19:00 (UK time)
(inclusive of talk plus questions, answers and insights after the talk.)
Cost = £25 per person.
(For those participating in the Sardinia Shakespeare Mystery hybrid event, the cost of the talk is included in the hybrid event fee.)

Living the Beauty of Golden Friendship
2026-10-04 10:00 - 2026-10-10 12:00
Shakespeare Mystery in Sardinia
A hybrid mystery event, led by Peter & Sarah Dawkins & Jonathon Tod – part pilgrimage and part talks, attunements and sharing on Zoom, in which we shall play our parts as actors on the stage of the world.
Sardinia was considered a sacred mountain prior to the last flood and the creation of the Mediterranean Sea. It was formerly joined with Corsica and mainland Europe. It is an island of beauty with 7000 ancient temples and sanctuaries. Many of the temples we will visit were built by ‘the Nuraghe’ (‘the shining ones’) between 2500-3000BC. The Nuraghe were navigators, mathematicians and astronomers.
This hybrid event is part of a sequence of events in which we are working with the Dionysian Mystery of Europe, wherein metaphorically the Bull (or Boar) becomes the Swan, which is a symbolic way of describing the transformation and transmutation of the mortal human psyche into an immortal soul.
As Shakespeare says, “we are all actors performing on the stage of the world.” The stage for the Dionysian Mystery is Europe, and the stage for this particular pilgrimage is Sardinia, the root chakra of the Swan landscape temple of Europe.
So far we have pilgrimaged in all the Swan chakras except the root chakra. By performing this Sardinia pilgrimage, we will be bringing the heavenly love-wisdom energy right down to the root of the Swan, so that the kundalini earth energy of the Swan can be awoken, respond in love, and rise up the spine of the Swan to sound the Word and bring illumination.
In this, we work with the Hermetic wisdom, “As above so below, as below so above, for the doing of the Great Work”, and with the lemniscate life process movement of energy through the body, in this case the landscape body of the Swan of Europe. In doing all this, we make friends not only with other human beings but also with nature, including the landscape and the sky above.
The aim of this pilgrimage is to pilgrimage from the north to the south of the island of Sardinia, visiting various sites and temples used by the ancients who knew something of how to work with the energies of the land. We will link with and be supported by other friends who will be carrying out pilgrimages and attunements elsewhere. In this way, via pilgrimage, attunement, meditation, prayer and friendship, the aim of the Mystery event as expressed in its title can be achieved.

Marrying the Mortal Psyche with the Immortal Self
2026-10-24 10:00 - 2026-10-25 17:00 | Haus der Begegnung, Seminarzentrum, Mühlenstrasse 2, Bad Pyrmont, 31812, Germany
Weekend workshop in Bad Pyrmont, Germany, led by Peter Dawkins.
This weekend workshop is designed to help us become more aware of our higher immortal Self and to truly ‘marry’ our immortal Self, so that we can become immortal-mortals, illuminated souls, whilst still living on earth.
The immortal Self not only resides in each of us, but is also everywhere in Nature. Peter will endeavour to help us become even more aware of this and make even greater ‘marriages’.
Love is what enables this – love that is willingly given and reciprocated. This is what can save the world and all of us within it. Indeed, it is the “saving grace”; but we have freewill to choose whether to be married in this way or not, and whether we are saved or not.
The weekend workshop will be preceded by a talk on Zoom, ‘The Connection between Hercules and Ophiuchus,’ on Sunday 18 October 2026, which will form part of the workshop.
Peter speaks English, and will be translated into German.
The picture is of Nicholas Pousin’s ‘Venus and Adonis’ (1624).
