To be fully human includes the felt experience of ourselves as a species who lives both as psyche and soma; both in the world of carbon-based atoms as well as in the landscape of the dream-time. And to acknowledge that this is true for all of life.
This isn’t the easiest dance to do in modern culture. But to do so is a recognition and courageous act that is increasingly needed during a time of great planetary transition, which includes experiences of great beauty, love and wonder as well as unfathomable chaos, enmity and loss.
In our day together we will connect through sound and dreaming; with movement and silence; with our sensuality and yearning and with our grief and abiding. And we will do this in various ways of encountering and relating to embodied beings of the Earth as well as to compassionate beings of the spirit world—-nature spirits, elementals, tutelary guides, Great Ancestors and others who value our true humanity, its place in the web of life and who offer assistance, healing and a deep ability to help us remember our original nature and how to live from that.
This gathering is suitable for those who have never tried to connect with a spirit being through any means including a shamanic journey, as well as for those who have a reliable practice of their own. We’ll explore inquiries of interest, both individually and in groups through inspired, effective ways of contacting/relating to Helping Spirits and learn how to integrate those relationships into daily life; we’ll create ceremony for healing and blessing; and we’ll explore what is being called for now on the Earth and how to live that courageously from a deep well of Beauty with our vulnerability, warmth, grief and joy in flow while sharing our gifts in service of the web of life.
