Soul Medicine Through the Seasons: Samhain
Returning to a resilient and vibrant relationship with the earth calls us to remember that we live in cycles; the earth has a rhythm through growth, decay and rebirth, and so do we. In Soul Medicine through the Seasons, we reflect through song, nature based connection, and visual journaling (an interweaving of art and writing) on how our inner rhythms are moving in relationship to the season of the year. At Samhain, we honor that which is ready to release into compost with the question "what is decaying in me?"
We will enter into our time together as a space of ceremony to honor the season. I will guide us in a song/chant as we gather. We will have a brief introduction to the season, followed by an outdoor wander or sit that will invite you to notice and listen to the more-than-human ones. I will offer drawing and writing prompts to reflect and bring insight to what is alive in your inner season. We will end with space for optional sharing. It's time to live in rhythm with the earth.
This event is co-hosted by Monika Burkholder with her dear friend, Summer Starr, spirit worker and a guide for people to find their own relationship with the ancestors and the unseen. You can find more about her work at www.makingkin.com
Suggested donation: $15-40. No one turned away for lack of funds.
