Seasonal Journey Workshop

Celebrating the seasons of the year through time honoured practices helps us to deepen our connection with the earth and in doing so, to deepen our connection with ourselves.  Our re-connection with our inner core essence and the earth, enables us to be more fully present for our loved ones when we are with them, better manage stress, and have an increased sense of well-being.  The continued changing of seasons also represents corresponding stages of your inner journey.

Autumn is the season known as harvest time and gives us the opportunity to reflect on what we are reaping in our own personal lives.

During this transition time we also celebrate both bounty and impermanence, celebration and gratitude.

​

Winter offers us the opportunity to rest and dream, we must wait in the darkness of Midwinter, teaching us that drawing inward for a time  is necessary for the growth that comes later.

​

Spring is a time of release, renewal and rebirth.  Starting anew, there is a sense of rejuvenation as we orientate to the beginning of longer days and warmer weather. 

​

Summer is a time of solar power and our own internal empowerment often realised through our vulnerability. Holding both the healthy masculine energy of power and the healthy feminine energy of openness.

Sacred Circle  

Medicine Wheel 

​

The history of the wheel shows us that there was a time when humans were more closely connected with the forces of Nature and the elements of Mother Earth. Where the natural world shared sacred teachings with them and revealed to them how to live in harmony so that in their listening and honouring they could understand the continual turning of the circle of life, death and rebirth.

. This circle can become a map of life and worked with as a daily practice, can bring through a consciousness that offers an opportunity for this living mandala to become a sacred awakening within you. 

A series of four workshops that draws on the teachings of the four directions through archetypal energy, the natural world and personal enquiry.​​

Each archetype taps into the deepest mythic roots of humanity so we too can draw on this wisdom as we begin to collaborate with these archetypes within ourselves.

Spirit Dolls

Dolls and sculpted figures have been used for spiritual rituals, rites of passage, healing and celebration in many cultures around the world, for thousands of years. Some used specifically for fertility, others as a ‘rite of passage’ helping young girls and boys understand social roles, acting out community events and ways of behaviour.

​

We tend to see ourselves in the doll. It represents an aspect of the human condition. When one engages with the process of making a doll all kinds of possibilities come to the surface.  Doll-making is a way to free oneself of worries, struggles and emotions. Creating a doll, or any art, directly effects the nervous system which controls body functions and the immune system.
 

A doll can be a tool, it works on the artist as the artist works on it, as you listen It instructs. It contains the sacred being created from your soul self and represents the deep desire of the body to expresses its truth. A doll allows you to truly see who you are.  

This one day workshop explores through intention, myth, shamanic journey and the creative process the crafting of your personal doll. 

​

Create a doll that is birthed from your own unique and authentic self, reclaim aspects of your deeper soul self and discover a greater understanding of who you are. The very act of doll making can take you through a process of transformation, awakening and spirtual medicine.
