An Invitation

A year-and-a-day long exploration of what it means to live soulfully and magically in an Animate World. On 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.

Over twelve monthly meets, held by Angharad and a wonderful gathering of guests, practitioners and tradition bearers, we will be opening to the conversations with creation and exploring ways of living soulfully in modern times.

Through practices of: deep listening and connecting to intuition; creating simple ceremony; magical making, maintaining balance; aligning with tides and rhythms; dreaming/journeying; divination; ancestor connection; rites of passage; connecting with the
mythic landscape, vigil and ceremony; we’ll explore our deep, connected humanity and our place within the web of life.

Along the way you can expect to learn lots of practical skills to embed in your lives, a sharing of wisdom drawn from lore found in ancient texts, poetry, stories and songs from this land and wisdom from other indigenous teachers. You will also find community among a circle of others who are on a similarly soul-led spiritual journey. To support this aspect, we will be meeting
together in circle (online), on a monthly basis, to share insights, learnings and to dream.

This is an introductory level course, so no previous experience is required, just a yearning to delve deeper into soulful connection with all life and living magically.
