Befriend the Dark
a weekend on the land
here, at the corner of the year, when the land begins to turn inward, to shed what’s no longer serving and to reveal the fertile dark, there is an invitation for us too, to invite what’s just beneath the surface to be seen- to come alive.
the darkness has long been a symbol of danger, and the unknown. But it also is the location of stars, dreams and creativity!
Working with nature connection practices, art, group council and embodiment tools you’ll be invited to animate what’s on your heart, turn towards the unseen and dance with the dark at this beautiful time of year when they say, the veils to the mystery are the most thin.
“Deep in the belly of the dark, there is a seed of the sun. But you have to go into the dark to find it.
