Monks Treasure Archeological site of interest for education, tourism and community projects. Monks Treasure, site was initially purchased in 2006.

The present owner learned that the land holds an important early medieval, 12 th century, chapel footings and an associated healing/holy well. Not wanting to damage this sensitive site, it was realised that, to protect this site from insensitive development, a professional understanding was required. It was then decided the way to achieve this was for the owner to embark upon an Environmental Archaeology Degree, which was complete in 2012 . During this study, a dissertation of this site was produced, undertaking geophysical surveying, amongst other techniques, to assess the extent of archeology on site. The owner then considered ways to make this site pay its way, all the time aware of the need to protect the site but also to enable others to benefit from such a beautiful unspoilt historically rare and heritage rich site. To achieve these aims and objectives the 'Monks Treasure' was born. It is proposed that the site sets up a social enterprise project to enable people from all areas of communities, both local and further afield, to benefit, enjoy and learn from this unique learning environment. This site would be more than suitable for including minority, vulnerable and low represented groups of society, especially disabled members of society both mentally and physically. There will be an outdoor classroom and workshops which would enable individuals or groups to visit the site and benefit from the teaching of new, exciting life skills to enable a feeling of self worth and inclusion in many areas of society. Types of groups the site will attract:
Educational establishments from primary schools to universities
Naturalist groups
Bird watchers
Wildlife enthusiasts
Heritage and history groups
Archaeology
Any one interested in the outdoors

What site will offer:
Alternative forms of education
Outdoor learning environment
Escape from mundane city life
Allow experience of wilder areas
Allow full de-stressing of mind

Activities on site:

A lovely review from Simonne after the firewalk gathering.

Wednesday the 27th of October 1993.

had a dream about fire-walking. A Man who
did not know, picked me up from the ground
and put me on his horse. He held my head very
tightly, and made me walk through fire with
him
He said "Your name is "She who walks through
fire" he let me go, and rode off. And, I woke up.
That dream has stayed with me for all of these
years, as some dreams do.
I
I
I had the opportunity to make this dream a reality with
an invitation from Stephen Morgan from Firewalk Cymru to attend a
Summer Solstice event (including a firewalk !)
at Treasure . (Minus the horse !) I found
Stephen to be a very knowledgeable facilitator.
I felt very safe being guided through the
process. I selected a mantra, and before long the firewalk was underway. There were other events before, a cacao ceremony, guided breathing and meditation, I walked around and did some ghost-hunting and chatted with other people, including Jules the Crone l - a splendid woman who helped me immensely, much love to you, Jules đź–¤ it was a truly wonderful and transformative experience.
Monks treasure is a stunning and unforgettable place, so tranquil, and so beautiful, I did enjoy my time there !
Back then in 1993 I was undergoing a therapeutic process using a specialized form of therapy called GIM or Guided imagery through music. I brought the dream I had back then into this time, and this physical realm - and I earned my name for real. It isn't a novelty or gimmick, and isn't to be taken lightly. It is a useful tool to assist you in the transformation process. I spent a long time preparing for it. I am still adjusting to my new energetical blueprint. I will continue to do so.
If you abuse the sacred fire it will burn you.

Our souls were tempered in the same fire

Follow up on fly tipped bags. We split the bags and emptied contents on the ground. There was lots of empty food packets.
I wonder who feeds this.
You know who you are.

Some people just don't care about anything but their selves. So disheartening.

Just been down the lower capel teilo woods and am disgusted at the fly tip, loads of sawdust and dog poo. We counted 10 bags . They've been tipped of the capel teilo Rd into the gorge. If anyone has any CCTV in the area please get in touch.
It's such a terrible shame as this is where I walk with the nature groups.
I've been through some of the bags but it's just kennel waste no paperwork for identification.
