About Isla Macleod
Isla Macleod is a ceremonialist, ritual designer, transformational healer and companion at the thresholds, devoted to restoring the Sacred and supporting others in their quest for meaning and belonging.
She acts as a bridge between worlds, mending and re-membering ancient pathways that help heal the sense of separation with the natural world and within ourselves. As was the role of the olde medicine folk, Isla acts as an intermediary between the human community & the larger ecological field to ensure these relationships are balanced & reciprocal.
Holding seasonal and bespoke ceremonies, rites of passage, ritual crafting workshops, guided healing journeys, pilgrimages, soul-making retreats and mentoring are some of the pathways Isla weaves in the world.
Her book ‘Rituals for Life: A guide to creating meaningful rituals inspired by nature’ is available to buy now as a companion for those seeking to come home to the natural world and enrich their life with ritual crafting.
