Everyday Sacredness: Conversations between Body, Land and Soul

[The hermit] takes the purple heavens to be his hut, the encircling sea to be his pond, roaring with laughter in his nakedness, walking along singing with his hair hanging down. - Zhiang Yan

This retreat brings together both my background as a rites of passage guide working with the Four Directions Nature Based Map of Psyche (nature-based map of wholeness and our mirror), and as a Buddhist. Through blending some of these teachings I hope to invite a deeper connection with the elements and also the unseen and subtle forces, and deeper levels of reality that surround us.

We will do this via guided creative practice, somatic explorations, nature-based ritual and a deeper listening to the aliveness of myths.

Through weaving together these elements we will enter into a kind of ‘call & response’ where the world itself responds, and we can discover the possibility for reciprocity and dynamic conversations with Mystery. Alongside finding ways to re-home the sacred into the everyday.

This is a retreat for supporting you to re-kindle your relationship with your wild soul true nature, with the wild carefree peace and belonging known intimately by hermits, who understood human beings as “part and parcel of [sacred] nature”.
