Answer the call to
transform your relationship with the Earth. Connect with the
spiritual side of the natural world. Rediscover how Mother Earth can be
a vast reservoir of power and wisdom for you. Step by step, develop
your ability to connect with the living land in a deeply sacred way; in
alignment. This communal gathering invites you to shift your perception
to access the
great and varied energies of the Earth. Blending the ancient tradition
of living intimately with the Earth (Earth-Walking) with the ancient
art of manifestation, you will learn inspirational ways to deepen your
connection and commitment to nature. At this time on the planet, many
people long for spiritual nourishment from the Earth, in return the
living Earth longs for us to live lightly and peacefully on her. The
Call of the Earth addresses both.
Earth-Walking is
a term coined by Starhawk in her book The Earth Path to
describe an ancient tradition of Celtic and other British Isles
cultures. People believed that the land was sacred and alive. They knew
that by being in intimate connection with each hill and hollow where
they lived, they could better serve as the stewards or guardians of the
land. The Earth-Walking tradition was passed down within families. It
involves practicing deeper and deeper observation/meditation skills
outdoors, in order to fully open your senses to the subtle energies of
the living Earth.
Begin by gathering in circle to
channel energy toward reconnecting with the land. Learn specific
"deepening" techniques and practices. Then spend time alone engaging
your expanded awareness of trees, stones, ants, clouds...as well as the
energy of specific spots you encounter. Learn to feel spirit in all
things around you. Listen for the
healing messages of plants. Find sacred spaces. Rekindle your sense
of wonder at the beauties of nature....and fall in love with the Earth.
Return to circle, and use ancient ceremonial music and dance to empower
your quest
for deeper connection.
Create powerful intentions
for your spiritual path, arising from the
soul connections you make as you Earth-Walk. Explore your old,
culturally programmed beliefs that affect how you relate to nature -
beliefs that may no longer serve you or the planet. Turn those beliefs
around and discover your true values: in your heart, how do you most
wish to relate to nature? How do you wish to be fully present on the
land? How do you want the Earth to be part of your daily life? A
simple, profound manifestation practice will empower your new
connections.
Come away with an
Earth Spirituality - a deep sense of belonging to the Earth, a clear
spiritual reverence for the living land, and the ability to tap into
the nourishment offered by nature. Your new vision is a commitment that
will resonate through your life, aligning you, and helping you walk
lightly on the Earth.
