Waters of the West Shield:
As we are made of all the elements of this beautiful earth, our teaching will begin with the exploration of the essential quality of water consciousness. We will be sharing tools to meet life's intensity and challenges; leaning into the inconveniences and discomfort it takes to make a healthy ecosystem reality. Experiencing the qualities of water as being still as a pond, fluid as a dancing stream and powerful as the ocean. This precious time will grow our capacity to be more adaptable and spacious, to “let go” into the flow of life. Exploring the sacred water's within us purifies the heart and works with the wound in loving intimacy. We invite your cleaning tears to transform into knowing joy and freedom. Come and feel deeply, supported by sister's to heal the wounds of separation.
This 1-day Earth Wisdom Wilderness Embodiment Retreat with Satya and Alaya will incorporate meditation, embodiment practices, teaching of West Shield, a nourishing meal and community council.
In this retreat, we will:
Explore ways to expand our capacity for presence, feel our feelings and be seen and held by our community.
Be held by the natural world as a support for our healing
Deepen the skills of reciprocity with nature.
Grow our capacity to be with our and the world's suffering, allowing us to feel gratitude and joy for each moment and each breath.
West Shield: Come willingly to wander alone, leaving the surface to dive deep into the belly of the unconscious. Trusting your heart to hold the wounds that bring new understanding.
Sacred Ceremony and Community Council
Our journey in the wilderness will give us insights and experience that we will bring back to be witnessed by our community. Questions and inquiry may be invited as, together, we explore and reflect on each person’s experience.
In this time together in community we create a sacred container to be seen, heard, affirmed and supported in the unique evolutionary journey of our soul. As we listen to each other's heartfelt expression in community council, we find reservoirs of strength and compassion, allowing us to be with discomfort.
We will experience firsthand that nature, our community and our true nature, can hold these vulnerable, unmet places and help us stay present to their healing. Through ongoing revelation, we stretch and grow, finding ever changing expressions of what it means to be a human being in community.
