«… sorcerers understand freedom as the capacity to do the impossible, the unexpected- to dream a dream that has no basis, no reality in everyday life.

Imagination is what one’s needs to change the self and become a dreamer.

Esperanza said that if she had not succeeded in vanquishing the self, she would have only led a woman’s normal life; the life her parents had designed for her; a life of defeat and humiliation; a life devoid of all mystery; a life that had been programmed by custom and tradition.»

Florinda Donner Grau – Being in Dreaming

 

In an increasingly divided world that has lost all contact with the deep source of the universe, we will take advantage of this end-of-year meeting to embark on the path of remembering the feminine part of our being. We will try to open the doors to the world of our feelings and our imagination, in order to enter 2025 with more of ourselves.

Today more than ever we need to reconnect with the source, to overcome our fears and find the path that leads to the deep heart of our being, to this dream that sleeps deep inside us like the princess in fairy tales. We need to awaken this sleeping dream and let it express itself through us, to give it a place in our lives. Humanity needs everyone to take care of the dream they carry, the dream that has been entrusted to them.

This aspect of ourselves is connected to the feminine part of our being. This part that has been denigrated and pushed to the confines of the boundaries of our civilisation. It is she that we must learn to welcome and re-appropriate…

In the past, the ancients dedicated temples to her, our Middle Ages dedicated poems and cathedrals to her… but the more the logical and rational approach has developed, the more we have forgotten this aspect of ourselves.

During this meeting of passage to the new year we will revisit the past year and we will set our intentions for the coming year with as a guidline the intention of reclaiming this feminine part of ourselves.

We will share our stories with each others and celebrate life, community and Spirit around the fire.

We will share meals, and walks in nature.

We will make music in order to celebrate and feel the pulse and the support of the Earth and burn what we want to live behind.

We will also have the possibility to attend a sweat lodge in the Lakota tradition in order to prepare for the entrance into the New Year.

 

Cost: 450 € (accommodation and meals included from Sunday Dec. 29 in the afternoon to Thursday January 2nd, breakfast.)

After registration you will receive a confirmation email with informations about the payment.

You can also contact me : 07 77 07 30 30 for more details.
