Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
Expression is when inner feelings take outward form. Shamans have always known that healing takes place when a person is encouraged to allow safe ways of expression. Likewise, if that which is felt is not encouraged to safely take form, this can be destructive.
We work with 4 topic areas, each based around the elements: Earth; Air; Water; Fire.
Earth
Our journey together starts on Earth, where you will be shown some work designed to honour Gaia, the Earth Goddess. Rituals and ceremonies are practiced to help deepen your relationship with Gaia and some of the elemental beings of Earth.
During our Earth work, you will also be guided to make your own personalised clay rune amulet or talisman.
Air
We continue our adventures on the element of Air.
During our Air work, you will be guided to create your own small flute, or whistle from either clay or wood. When this has taken form, we will work on empowering it so that it becomes a truly sacred object.
Water
Dipping into the Water element, we are encouraged to let go of the bank and be fluid. Here we work with movement and relate this to our own inner landscape.
In our immersed state, we take on a creative chaos where anything (within human decency) is possible. Choosing from an array of materials, you are invited to move into creative flow.
Fire
As our creative adventures together mature, you are invited to feel the driving forces deep within the element of Fire. You will be shown ways of engaging with Fire energy along with important protection techniques for yourself as you work with powerful forces.
From the fire, like the Pheonix, emerges a creation containing forces capable of transformation and healing. You will be guided in making your own shamanic rattle from local materials.
