  • Eco Shamanism - Shifting Terrain

    Eco Shamanism One Year Course October 2019 - September 2020

    ’Shifting Terrain'

    3 - 6 October 2018 (scroll down for more dates)

    A year of Eco Shamanism open to all. This series of four long weekends will delve into Weather Shamanism, Micro Intelligence, Eco Linguistics and Dreams and Dreaming with an overlying theme of 'instinction' as opposed to extinction.

    Perceptions, perspectives and paradigms will be challenged whilst we explore "The greater part of the soul which is outside the body" (Sendivogius). Our back drop is our Earth, in which we find ourselves, over and over again. Earth's back drop is the great void of unconsciousness in which she finds herself, over and over again. Expect to come under a spell, spelt Earth.

    Dates: all weekends run from 6.30pm Thursday to 3 - 4pm Sunday

    2019
    October 3 - 6

    2020
    February 13 - 16 / June 11 - 14 / September 10 - 13
