Workshop Description:
This one day workshop is offered to people of all disciplines who are interested in the newly developing concepts of consciousness, energy, self-healing, and the power within the human person to move consciously into the next dimension of our being.
The workshop is set within an understanding of the perceptive storytelling of ancient Irish Mythology, which I have studied over 30 years. Many of the ancient stories have more power for our present moment than we realize from a casual reading. I have focused on the remnants of pre-history and pre-Celtic 'Old Faith' and it's unique interaction with the 'New Faith' of around 2,000years ago before it became so distorted.
Themes explored include: Meaning in the shield of pre-history; Hope with Nine Sisters of Ireland; Courage with the Ninth Wave; and Three Journeys of Transformation.. We will explore how these transformational concepts work with seeing, touching, hearing, smelling, tasting and observing how the five elements interact with our consciousness. The aroma and inner meaning of Psycho-Mythological and Transition Cycles of alchemical wreathes and recipes will be laid out before us. The three short books of "Alchemy of Remembering" will be used to expand our frame of reference.
