"those of our time, because of so much knowledge, have forgotten what it is to exist, and the meaning of inwardness." Kierkegaard.
The problem, Kierkegaard said, is that we have "forgotten what it means to exist humanly." Nature, life and its cycles can teach us what it is to exist humanly, and like all the best 'teaching", this is actually a re-membering, a bringing back into our conscious awareness what is important, what it is to be in right relationship, in touch with meaning in the world.
So why the Solstice and Equinox classes??
Following in the footsteps of cultures the world over, since time immemorial; celebrating the wisdom of the earth's wise elders; we gather together for a deeper re-membering of what it is to exist. We utilise the potent energies of the Equinox's and Solstices to celebrate the turning of the seasons, the cycles of life, and rekindle our inner knowing of what it is to be alive.
The act of coming together in itself helps to increase our awareness of self and life's rhythms, allowing us to be more conscious participants in those cycles and our own lives (rather than being swept and dragged along all the time). From there we develop an ever deepening relationship with our world, and begin to re-member what it is to exist.
For each actual session, we follow a theme or focus to deepen our self-healing journey, and we take that journey through the framework of kundalini yoga and meditation. We don't stop there though, we may use tools such as rebirthing, dancing, neo-shamanism (powerful to understand and transform the psyche), sound and gong healing...and all that the season's festive explorations call for - to take you on your journey, deep into the forests of you.
Participants find these sessions to be hugely transforming and supportive of their individual journey - the hard part is waiting for the next one ;)
