I believe everyone could benefit from an experience like this. It offers far more than a way to release and share grief—it shows us that we are not alone, and that we never need to feel alone when our loved one’s journey to the summer lands. The ancestors stand with us.

I want to offer a service to the reader to reassure you that the work of Animate Earth is profound, wisely held, full of joy and slightly edgy in absolutely the right kind of way. It is what this world needs, and it brings, like moths to the moon, the kind of souls to it’s centre that help work the required magic.

I found Rainmaker course really transformative. Thank you all. It deepened my connection to myself and the place where I live. It opened new portals of perception and creativity within me that connected me to my soul, the soul of the world, to the liminal, to the other wonderful participants and the lands they were working with.

I feel like the work we did together on Bute has fundamentally changed me. I’m still grappling with what has actually happened, as usual with Animate Earth courses. What a beautiful week.

All the ingredients were perfectly combined for this immersive, creative and animistic magical experience.
