Saturday 19th December – Winter Solstice energies
Winter Solstice exact: Monday 21st December, 8.50pm (London)
The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and the turning point when the light begins to return. Across cultures it is celebrated as a time of rebirth, renewal, and the triumph of light over darkness. Spiritually, it offers a moment of deep rest, reflection, and planting the seeds of our visions for the year ahead.
Shamanic Workshop and Ceremony
During this workshop we will:
* Honour the stillness of the season
* Connect to the returning light
* Welcome new beginnings with intention and heart
* Enjoy a fire ceremony to connect with the ancestors and set our intentions for the new cycle
of the cosmic wheel, as we move from darkness into light.
Shamanic Workshop: New Moon & Solstice Ceremonies
During the day we follow the shamanic path.
This may include connecting to ancestors, power animals, drumming, shamanic journey, smudging with herbs & shamanic ceremony.
Each event is unique and we will be connecting with the cosmic energies of the day, often linking with celestial events, including numerology and astrology.
It will be a small group (maximum 5 people) for those interested in discovering the shamanic way. Shamanism is a beautiful way of life. It is very much being in the now, going with the flow and following the signs. Nature talks, the animals, the trees, and the 5 elements of air, earth, fire, water and spirit connects and teaches. During this workshop, i will be sharing with you the shamanic path, the way it has been taught to me through my many lives and how to use it in your everyday life.
Come experience and enjoy the healing energies of the drums, singing bowls, herbs, and meet like minded friends.
Each event is always different, however we do always use drums and healing herbs with a wonderful fire.
We will be using the drum to raise the energy and journeying.
If you have a drum please bring it along, if you don’t there will be some drums, rattles and bells available for you to use on the day.
