Learning is ceremony.
You are invited to this ceremony of growth, over eight weeks, if you have ever felt the need to receive the inner knowledge to transform your environment, to add your part to the greater process of the world’s restoration to wholeness. If you have felt that you need to discern your part in this story, this series is for you. If you have wanted practical spiritual knowledge of how to be an agent in the healing and transforming your world, through your own personal alchemy, these learning ceremonies and group processes are for you. If you suspect that acts of spiritual repair are powerful and worth pursuing, this is your alchemy.
In this learning experience, we draw on the ageless wisdom as our source for this alchemy writ-large. We will learn, together, how to become a vessel of social/ecosystemic healing, drawing on classical Greek sources, Kabbalistic ones on the process of tikkun, Islamic mystical texts and teachings on marifet, Indigenous wisdom, and other mythical and mystical systems that include within them the path of the community healer, the bodhisattva, and the alchemist.
What you recieve in this course:
1) Practical knowledge on how to use the intuition to serve and how to get out of your own way to allow the greater good to manifest through you.
2) New and ancient techniques that help us attune to ourselves, our environment and community to make our contribution to macro-level healing.
3) An understanding of the coding of ancient teachings within myths and historical events to help us understand ourselves and the cosmos better.
In each session of the eights weeks, we engage with practices to become channels of grace to the environment, in addition to meditating together on a sacred story that illustrates an important aspect of the alchemy being practiced. In some sessions there will be forms of ritual theater and systemic constellation, to wed these understandings with the body’s knowing.
