Living as Creature, Not Machine:
animist and ancestral guidance for when you’re cracking from the constant pressure of being the rock for everyone else and you want to try loving yourself and your humanness instead
An introductory workshop to explore what expecting yourself to be a consistent, super-human, productivity-no-matter-what-you’re-feeling machine is costing you. And to begin remembering the animist and ancestral wisdom and practices which can help us:
ground into our bodies and live more in rhythm with the seasons and the natural world; relate from our hearts and nervous systems, not our heads, so we feel deeper, truer connection; and remember the gifts of our ancestors, not just their wounds, so we experience more meaning and belonging in this wondrous world.
For humans who’ve spent their whole lives trying to get stability and support through giving it, and are now cracking under the strain of trying to be everyone’s rock through wave after wave of crisis. Whose usual go-to strategies, routines and steadying tools aren’t working anymore (and they don't know what to do do about it). Who are snapping, spiraling, exhausted, overwhelmed, falling apart (and instead of getting support are ending up with the opposite of what they want - more walls, more self-reliance, and more self-hatred. Ouch). And who are f*cking tired of being stuck in this loop - who are finally ready to try letting go of being superhuman and remember how to love their humanness instead.
Please be advised: this workshop will be held and informed by animist and shamanic practices, ritual, myth, and altar and flame. It might also include drumming; chanting; breath work; movement; altars with flowers, bones, feathers, stones, etc. While animism is a worldview not a competing religion, if those sorts of things feel at odds with your religious beliefs and practices, and you feel you can’t enter with an open and curious mind and heart, this might not be a good fit for you, at least at this time.
Energy Exchange: $85
Earlybird: $75 until 9/1
