September 14th - Plant Spirit Medicine
– Meeting with Plants and Creating Medicines.
For the first class of the new term we will return to the subject of Plant Spirit
Medicine. We will use the Shamanic techniques of the ‘Medicine Walk’ and ‘Drum
Journey’ to meet with a native plant in both the physical and energetic realms.
Through this meeting we will deepen our understanding of the plant’s medicine
and also begin to learn the art of creating potions, tinctures and remedies.
October 12th - Astrology - the Planets
and Signs of the Zodiac.
In this class we will make a deeper connection with the energy of each planet
and see how each one manifests in the twelve signs of the zodiac. We will
observe the flow of changing energy through the signs and see how each compliments
the next. By connecting with our own planetary ruler and our own Zodiac sign
we will find the best ways to fulfil our true potential.
November 9th - Shamanism – Meeting with
our Ancestors.
This class will focus on the Shamanic Arts practiced by our ancestors. We will
discuss the magickal practices of ancient peoples and look at the ways in
which they used Shamanism to help them to relate to and work with their environments.
Taking advantage of the Samhain energy we will use ceremony to help us connect
with our ancestors and learn how we can use Shamanism to help us in the modern
world.
December
7th - Fire - Bringing Fire into our Lives and Burning away the
Old
For the first of four classes in which we will be looking at the Four Elements
we will be looking at the element of Fire. In this class we will look at different
ways of strengthening our relationship with Fire – learning about the nature
of this element. We will work with Fire in ceremony and become confident allies
of this element.
January
11th - Earth – Meeting with the Darkness and Entering the Womb
of the Earth.
At this dark time of the year we will work together to embrace our shadows as
a group. Using the traditions of ancient council we will work in a circle
to share the painful issues that arise during winter and create ceremony together
that will allow us to embrace that darkness. We will go on a fieldtrip to
Castell Carreg Cennen where we will truly meet with Earth and Shadow.
February
8th - Air – The Spirit of Voice – Meeting with the Magick of
Sound.
Using Shamanic techniques for freeing our voices and creating sound can allow
us to find enormous empowerment in our ability to communicate with the people
around us and with the other worlds in Ceremony. In this class we will find
ways of releasing sound from within our souls and channelling the sounds of
the universe through our bodies.
March
8th - Water – Finding our Source and Letting our Feelings Flow.
In this class we will look at the different ways in which our emotional states
can influence us in magick. We will work with the tradition of Water Skrying
to find out more about this. As a group we will share our experiences of Negative
Thought Forms – created by ourselves and projected by others around us. We
will perform a Canoe Ceremony to discover more about the Thought Forms that
attach themselves to us and try to meet with the true self that dwells at
the source.
April
5th - Power Animals and Totem Spirits – Working with our Guides.
As
we move into new phases of our lives, this class will give us the chance to
re-visit Spirit Guides of our past and also make new connections with helpers
that we don’t yet know of. We will use Medicine Walks and Drum Journeys to
meet with our guides and discover ways of maintaining that relationship and
taking advantage of it in times of great need.
