ABOUT THIS WORK
With this work, the intention is to continue exploring the Medicine Wheel now with a series of 3 workshops for: Above, Below and the Centre.
The medicine wheel is an ancient tool or system explored by ancient cultures and traditions. It follows the movement of nature, the flow of creation, the rotation of the sun, and the changing of the seasons.
The medicine wheel can help us to understand ourselves, how we function as human beings, and reminds us of the connection we have with all of life. Through guided shamanic journeys, intuitive arts, and nature connection practices, we will journey through the directions and explore all their gifts.
Each direction invites us to connect with specific symbols, natural elements and animals. When we embrace the flow of creation, we have the chance to reconnect with our internal rhythm, discover who we are on a deeper level, and access the wisdom of life itself.
Each workshop will offer an opportunity to explore different creative tools and modalities (painting, writing, movement, sound) and relax with guided meditation and nature connection practices.
Sun 06 Aug Theme:
ABOVE: Connecting with the Sky - Exploring the qualities of the Divine Masculine
Details: This direction invites us to remember our ancient origins and strengthen the connection with our Soul consciousness, Higher Self and guides. In the Above, we can retrieve the memory of the past and align ourselves with the Divine Masculine energy in its purest form.
Sat 23 Sep Theme:
BELOW: Connecting with the Earth - Exploring the qualities of the Divine Feminine
Details: In this direction, we can commune with Mother Earth and receive the teachings of nature and the invisible realms. The trees, the animals, and all the elements become our guides. In the Below, we can access the energy of the Divine Feminine and her creative and nurturing qualities.
Sun 15 Oct Theme:
CENTRE: Connecting with the Heart - Merging the polarities into Oneness
Details: This direction invites us to come into the space of our Hearts and see life through a new lens. In the Centre, we remember who we are and why we are here in this world at this time. We reclaim our ability to listen to the voice of nature and the spirit within. In the Centre, the polarities dissolve into Oneness and unity.
