A 1-Day Eco-Spiritual Immersion to Regenerate Wonder,  Self Love and Our World   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 the beauty of nature. A wonder that recognizes the ecology of the planet as profoundly alive, sentient and capable of being connected and communicated with in metaphysical ways. This living spiritedness is at the heart of our true nature. During this one-day immersion, we shall be enthusing the re-enchantment of our world and our human selfhood through multi-dynamic practices, community activities and sacred revelry. We will spend time in deep communion with the spirits of the beautiful lands upon which The Living Centre is found, sharing our discoveries in circles of mutual wondering. Our sensitivities to such intimate bonding with Earth will … Read more

Online – Conscious Relationship Couples Workshop:

Deepening Love & Connection We live in a time of great global change where the mythology of intimate relationships is being challenged and being reassembled into something more scrumptious than ever before.  Women and men passionate about reclaiming the joy of soulful, genuine love find that they can no longer rely on old roles and beliefs. Intimate relationships are calling for a new kind of honesty and awareness – a new story – and the willingness to cultivate capacities to connect with another in ways that meet the evolutionary dynamics of the ‘now.’ This workshop invites you to explore conscious relationships as a spiritual path, where the joys and challenges we face are seen as opportunities to expand our sense of who we are. Conscious relationships are decisive and intentional. They are thoughtful, inquisitive, kind and compassionate. Both partners are committed to a purposeful journey and supportive of each other’s creativity and path of service. Vulnerability and freedom are at their core. Love is the fuel for this sacred journey. Fulfillment for oneself and the world is the fruit of one’s commitment and courage to ‘walk the talk’ of conscious love.

Yet, amidst the sadness, fear, anger and despair, there is also a glimmer of ‘something new.’ When a crisis as all-encompassing and global as the pandemic, and let’s not forget climate change, sweeps the world, it opens a crack in the matrix of ‘the norm’ for new possibilities to emerge.

About Primordial Journeys Indigenous cultures know that ‘to live is to move!’ Dance, music and inner journeys are the oldest medicine and spiritual practice on Earth.

Primordial Movement: Ancient Healing Practices That Are Simple & Work 7-week series

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

Life experiments with ways to maximize what it creates for survival and longevity. It not only keeps the elements, plants, minerals and wildlife that enhance Life’s overall vitality and resilience, it also keeps the primal movements that support relaxation, fluidity, openness and pleasure. Over the years, I have had the great joy of sitting for hours watching the movements of nature and human nature. I watched water turn into a mucky pool for bugs and critters, and air become stale when not allowed to move naturally. The same is true for us. When there is a restriction in one’s movement, body systems slow down, and the natural energies given to us so freely from the Universe and the Earth are restricted by the blockage. Fascinated by body movement, I was taught the secrets of how to increase energy through the primordial, meaning original, movements of nature. Nothing in nature is linear. It flows, spirals and undulates in patterns that weave living systems together. As our bodies are expressions of the Elements, the same movement principles that govern nature govern our bodies.  In this series, I guide you through simple and effective processes that enhance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual flow … Read more
