In this workshop you will experience how to create and hold sacred space, engage in ritual, ceremony, and honor each other through respectful communication. In our sacred circle we honor the 5 elements - earth, water, fire, air and either, call in the energies of the four directions - east, south, west, and north. Sacred drum journey to call on our spirit guides, teachers and allies with the intention of exploring our deepest Self and assisting all beings on their journey to wholeness and balance as they walk upon this earth. Honoring the sacred gives us access into the rhythms and forces of nature. Here we can communicate and invoke the energies of both the seen and unseen worlds. This communication may show up in the shape of form, word, feeling/sensation, thought... it all depends on the individual.
Adventure into the spirit world...
Physical world ~ where we learn from nature, communicating with the sun, moon and with the spirits that live in all things present in this physical reality.
Lower world ~ accessed by dropping down into the earth to discover a playground that resides deep within the womb of our Mother. Guided by your spirit animal we explore a landscape of mountains, streams and forests, a fire burning deep within our core where we dance, cleanse and are released from ties that no longer serve us.
Upper world ~ a lighter, more ethereal plane of existence. A Spirit-Talking-Place you might say, where we meet a teacher to help us enter into a crystal city or find supreme rest upon a cloud. A dreaming place where we feel a sense of being whole, of profound love and of knowing and wonderment where the creator can move through us.
The information we are given is for understanding and the purpose of healing parts of ourselves that have been lost or injured due to trauma caused by illness, loss, abuse, neglect, etc.
Why open to this experience?
No doubt, we live in a fast paced world that is constantly bombarding us with un-natural stimulation. I believe now more than ever that we have lost our way, we have forgotten how powerful the natural world is and the connection we find within. Perhaps you are feeling a bit lost, as if some part of you is missing or even feel something inside of you that just doesn't feel like it belongs. You may be struggling with physical ailments, chronic pain or emotional imbalance. No matter what you are experiencing it is real for you. It isn't necessary for you to know where it comes from, it may be a long forgotten injury or trauma. It's ok to be curious, even a bit skeptical. Consciously or unconsciously I believe that we all have a deep burning desire to be whole. Oftentimes wholeness requires stepping out of our comfort zone to allow that shift to happen.
We have the capacity to heal ourselves when we open new doorways and expand our life experience.
