Feather, Fire, Stone and Bone

A year-and-a-day long exploration of what it means to live soulfully and magically in an Animate World. In this online, introductory-level course, we’ll journey together around the sun, for 366 dawns and dusks and thirteen moons, delving into the old knowing of our lands, reconnecting with our wild and intuitive nature and embracing the unseen things that make our souls sing.  The aim is to radically change how we relate to the world, to each other and to ourselves in order that we may root in the earth, connect with all creation, listen deeply and offer our light and our gifts to generatively create our future.

Over twelve monthly meets, held by Angharad and a powerful gathering of guests, practitioners and tradition bearers, we will open to conversations with creation and explore ways of living soulfully in modern times.

“Just want to say how grateful I am for the wisdom, love and strength I’m receiving from the FFSB programme. I’m working gently and uncovering deep depths.” ~ Jules

What You can Expect From The Programme

• Monthly online teaching session (each is recorded), which includes conversation and discussion with guest tutors.
• Monthly online circle session for discussion, to share experiences and reflections on practice to build community and to dream together.
• Monthly practices that build throughout the programme: deep listening, connecting to intuition, creating simple ceremony, vigil, exploration of interbeing, magical making, ancestor connection, the work of creating, maintaining and relating to sacred spaces, divining, dreaming/journeying and connecting with the mythic landscape. These will support our exploration of what it is to be human and deeply connected to the web of life.
• An exploration of big questions: Why are we here? What is my purpose? How can I be with all that is happening in our world? How can I make a difference?
• A sharing of wisdom drawn from lore found in ancient texts, poetry and stories drawn from the animate traditions of this land and those of our guest teachers.
• An enquiry into the cultural norms we have adopted – how and why we believe what we do, and a reclaiming of a deeper knowing.
• A shift in your experience of being human in an animate world.
• A transformation of your relationship with your locality and the seen and unseen realms.
• Community and deep connection among a circle of people who are on a similarly soul-led, animist journey.

“I am loving this course and how it is deepening my communion with the Holy Wild. I do not remember how I stumbled upon Animate Earth Collective but it has been a source of inspiration and enrichment since the first offering I attended.” ~ Natalie

No previous experience is required, just a yearning to delve deeper into soulful connection with all life and living magically.
