Serpent Blessings- a Shamanic Snake Medicine Day’

with Eva Weaver & Claire Lecarpentier
a one day in-person workshop at Phoenix Nest, Saltdean near Brighton 9th of February 2025

2025 is the Chinese Year of the SNAKE!!

Tap into the potent energy of the Serpent and Snake Medicine with us as we enter the powerful YEAR OF THE SNAKE!
Gather your power, vision boldly, shed what no longer serves you and step forward into the new year with joy and strength.

Snakes are creatures of the threshold often associated with initiation, transformation, healing, sexuality and sensuality and creativity.

As we learn to navigate the many challenges of our times and in our own lives, we can tune into the energy of snakes for guidance.
Snake are masters of residing in the void, shedding their skins and creating themselves anew.

Snake also has a lot to teach us about embodiment: connecting with love to our bodies, inhabiting our skin, deep listening, resting & nurturing embodied intuition...

Snake Medicine helps us to…
* connect with our gut instincts
* embody our wild, sensual and sexual nature
* live more harmonically with our body's cycles and rhythms and honour the seasons
* face our fears & learn to set good boundaries.live with more presence
* deal with significant changes in our lives such as beginnings and endings of relationships, change of work, illness, bereavement, menopause etc in empowered ways
* lean into rest and the rhythms of life rather than stay in fixing & doing mode
* connect with our creative life force energy and ecstatic nature
* tap into the mystery of life and of our own, individual, spiritual journey

For this special workshop we meet at the beginning of summer and midpoint of the year, to dive into the beautiful teachings and strength of the serpent, so we can gather our power, celebrate and step empowered into the second half of the year.

By connecting and aligning with serpent energy, you will gain insights and tools to create a clear vision for the remainder of the year and beyond, to help you manifest your goals and dreams.

We will work with shamanic journeys through which you can meet your personal Snake ally and ask for guidance as well as a beautiful ceremony. 

Don't miss this opportunity to explore the teachings of the Serpent, affirm your power and celebrate the Joy of Summer!
Join us on this exciting immersive workshop!

Eva is a queer author, writing coach, sex coach and shamanic practitioner.
Her lifelong interest in embodiment, creativity and the power of the erotic has led her to train as an art therapist, breathwork practitioner, firewalk instructor and eventually as a sexological bodyworker.

This practical spiritual path has supported Eva through many challenging life experiences and in her creative practice.

Eva has been weaving creative, embodied, shamanic and erotic approaches into powerful offerings, be it through her performance art practice, ‘Writing from the Body’ programme, ‘Wild Write’ groups, Back to Sex coaching or Snake Medicine and Rites of Passage Retreats.

Eva has been a passionate facilitator of workshop and retreats for over thirty years, both in the UK and internationally.
She has worked many years as a shamanic counsellor and offered shamanic creativity retreats. She brings her unique style of warmth, depth, humour, knowledge and compassion to all of her work, guiding people on deep, empowering journeys and through crucial life transformations.
