A Soul-infused Elemental Journey into ‘What Now?’ September 2, 2023 with Lorenna Bousquet Kacera, Danielle Denichaud, Snappy Homefry As the wheel of Life turns and summer softly ushers in autumn, it is a precious moment to pause, reflect, harvest what has been and set new intentions for a new beginning. We ask: What now? What’s new waiting for me? What are my dreams and desires? How do I step into the realm of possibility with safety and trust? We offer this full-day experience as an opportunity to deepen into your wild and knowing heart through Elemental rituals, meditations and Earth connection.  Throughout history, Earth-centred societies engaged the power of ritual and the Elements’ teachings to guide them through the ‘terrible beauty’ of inevitable change with the highest and wisest clarity. Reconnecting to the sacred medicine of outer and inner nature offers space for visions given directly from Mother Earth so that we may see clearly the path forward and our part in the creation of the New Earth.  Clarity Quest Ceremony During this guided ceremony, we will awaken our connection with the Life-Giving Elements of Air, Fire, Water, Earth & Ether to activate our highest path forward clarity.

Re-Enchanting Your Life – with Darren Austin Hall, Lorenna & Shantree Kacera

event-images - dreaming-300px

RECONNECT * REVITALIZE * REMEMBER   June 24 & 25, 2023 One of the great themes of our shifting age is the sacred relationship between humans and Earth. Our ancient ancestors bridled the natural mysticism of the Earth with great devotion and care. In modern civilization, our deep bonds with the land have broken. With the rise of industrialization and materialist science, it has become a period of time denoted by writers, philosophers and artists as ‘the age of disenchantment.’ The disenchantment describes our loss of a primal, life-giving and life-saving essence we know as ‘wonder’ for this amazing creation we are a part of. A wonder that recognizes the ecology of the planet as profoundly alive, sentient and capable of being connected and communicated with in practical metaphysical ways. This living spiritedness is at the heart of our true nature. During this weekend, we shall be enthusing the re-enchantment of our world and our human selfhood through multi-dynamic practices, community activities and sacred revelry. Experience how living in the higher frequencies of Wonder awakens the love, insight,  compassion and strength needed to move artfully through personal and planetary transitions. We will spend time in deep communion with the spirits of … Read more

Primordial Movement: Healing & Regeneration of Body & Soul – 7-week series

event-images - 4elements-dance-of-elements-300px-sq

We live in a world of straight lines, timelines and deadlines. Yet nature teaches us that life is not linear. It’s a fluid process built of waves, spirals, curves and seasons. So is your body. Bodies are rivers of movement – Air – breath, Fire – energy, Water – blood, Earth – bone and ether – spirit. Vital health depends on how well these rivers of life flow in and through us. When the flow is unencumbered, we are blessed with vibrant health and happiness. When the flow is blocked by illness or stress, we become dis-eased. In this workshop, I guide you through simple and effective fluid processes that fill your body with a deep sense of joy, activating a complete connection with body and soul. Various movement explorations, including wave motion, micro-movements, sounds, dance and breaths, enliven this river of vitality, awakening the capacity for self-healing and regeneration. It reconnects you to body wisdom, hidden potential and inherent sensual pleasure. Your body knows.  Allow the natural state of fluidity to bring inner peace, clarity and the highest spiritual frequency available to humans – joy – to your everyday life. The Benefits of Primordial Movement: Restores vitality & an … Read more

Shamanu: Journey into Sacred Silence

event-images - WINTER-SOLSTICE-300sq

Entering the space of sacred silence is essential for the balance and regeneration of your spirit. It’s where you remember and connect to the vast wisdom and primal knowing of who you are. Where you come home to yourself to recharge, balance and ‘Dream’. In this space the Sacred whispers, and you listen. Through the nourishing dance of silence, we allow the fluidity of movement, breath and sound to gently guide us into the home of dreams, visions and regeneration. Gentle somatic processes integrate, cleanse, and make space for the new.  Active breath and earth-centred meditation revitalize the energy centers, attuning the body, mind and spirit. Perceiving our bodies as living expressions of Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Ether, we journey into their great wisdom teachings within and around us. Surrendering to the heart’s primacy and its power of receptivity, we access the realms of intuition, feelings, and felt awareness where we can hear Earth’s voice as She calls us into what is new for self and planet. This journey is an invitation to enter the sweet darkness of Autumn and return to the womb of inner silence for rejuvenation and visioning of the ‘yet to be’. The Journey Includes … Read more

WomanEarth: Reclaiming Your Sacred Wild Feminine Life-force

Life-force is a power that we all possess. A natural and regenerative resource designed to bring health and happiness. When mindfully accessed, sustained and directed, it is the substance that allows the miracle of self-healing and spiritual self-mastery.  Also known as chi, prana, ovarian power or kundalini, it is a continuous flow of primordial energy that unifies humans, nature and the cosmos.  If we lived in an ideal world, uncluttered by insistent stress and a patriarchal directive,  women would be equally celebrated and supported to self-direct.  Life energy would flow freely and abundantly, and this workshop would not be necessary. But we don’t – at least not yet. For centuries women have been taught to believe that their role is to unconditionally direct their Lifeforce energy to their families, communities and partners, leaving little power for themselves. While much of one’s giving emerges from a genuine feminine spirit, much doesn’t.   Throughout the weekend, we dive into the ‘how’ of embracing your sacred wild Life-force, reclaiming your power to navigate the course of your future and why this is essential for the healing and fulfillment of your life and the healing of the Earth. We do this through a fluid dive … Read more

WomanEarth: 
Raising Kundalini – Awaken Divine Feminine Energy

October 28 & 29, 2023 For Vibrant Health & Spiritual Transformation Kundalini energy is the divine feminine energy that is also known as goddess energy and sometimes as serpent energy. In Hindu and Yoga philosophy, it is the creative power and energy of the universe. In Tantric text, Kundalini is a sleeping dormant potential life-force that is the very Essence of Life. In a woman’s body, the Kundalini powerhouse rests at the cervix (at the base of the uterus) and is expressed as sexual energy. This life force energy runs up the spine, radiating like a soft fire to every part of your body.  For most, this energy lays dormant at the base of the spine which means a lack of free-flowing energy and vitality. Blockages in this flow are expressed in symptoms such as fear, anxiety, shame, no passion, burnout and emotional isolation.   Raising Kundalini/sexual energies fills your body with a deep sense of joy, activating a complete connection with body and soul.  When moving freely through your body, this river of vitality awakens the capacity for self-healing and regeneration. It reconnects you to intuitive wisdom, hidden potential and life’s great pleasures. It is the seed energy for all creativity, … Read more
