We are all connected pieces of a big and beautiful whole. In this workshop guided by Spirit, we will encourage harmony between nature and humankind, honoring the ancestors, spirits and creatures of the forest. Answer your deep and ancient soul calling, “Be wild and be free.” Take hold of your natural inner power and be who you are here to be. The resounding importance of your presence, beyond doubt, affects Earth and humanity to the core.
Join us on a guided meditation to connect with the wild nature within you. We will be playing with clay to represent the creational energies that emerge from the meditation. Feel yourself creating life anew though the force of nature and the powers of Earth.
- Connect to the nature spirits who want to work with you, and listen to the needs of planet Earth
- Create a closer bond and live in deeper harmony, balance, and respect with nature and your true, authentic, and wild inner self.
- Feel the power of the plants, animals and the land as you relate to being a part of nature.
- Listen at a deeper level to the nature spirits around you.
This workshop is inspired by Tanzen Lilly’s paper collage Anima Mundi and by
Jake Moreland’s photograph Path Through the Trees.
We will be exploring
- What does it mean for you to be connected with the wildness within you?
- What does expressing “being wild” look like to you?
- How does listening and connecting with nature relate to something you would like to transformation in your life?
- What type of responsibility is it natural for you to take to make the world a better place?
- What is the purpose of being human, and how does that relate to nature?
