Session 1 Thursday 14 April at 19.30 CET
The Great Whales are Breathing the Ocean Alive.
Following the blue whale, the largest being the planet has ever known, through the oceans off the Azores, and listening to their breathing, we reconnect with the conscious breath, here and now. Breathing with awareness brings peace, inner spaciousness, and deeper awareness of who we really are.
We introduce simple practices for breathing consciously and harmonising our energies while enjoying the time we can spent out in nature.
Session 2 Thursday April 21 2022 19.30 CET.
The Wild Horses move in Balance with the Energies of the Wild
In the beauty, strength and courtesy of wild horses, we recognise the beauty of our own aliveness. In classical philosophy, in mythology and many shamanic practices, the Way of the Horse was a path leading to graceful and harmonious alignment with the flow of vital energies through the natural world. Horses show us the joy of moving freely, and feeling our natural flow, and our companionship with all the beings of nature, visible and invisible.
With guided meditation taking us into the vital energy body and a meditative practice to enjoy outdoors.
Session 3 Thursday 28 April 2022
The Wolves bring Healing to the Land.
Travelling with the wolves to Yellowstone in the Northern Rockies, we listen to them howl and discover the many ways they have revitalised the land and brought dynamic balance to the whole community. Where wolves return, natural vitality is restored. In the wisdom traditions of many indigenous peoples, wolves also appear as potent healers in the inner landscapes of the human psyche and the soul – they are guides to liberating old energies and releasing what no longer helps us in life.
With guided meditation and a practice to enhance the sensitivity of sight and hearing while walking or sitting in nature.
Session 4 Thursday May 5 19.30 CET
The Owl are Sounding the Magic of the Night
For thousands of years, owls have been revered as messengers that travel between the different dimensions of reality. They are the bringers of guidance from the mysterious realm of dreams and intuition that is beyond the reach of the daylight mind. We explore this beautiful mythology of owls as messengers, and meet some of these magnificent birds in the splendour of the Arctic and the depths of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
With guided meditation to strengthen intuitive awareness, and sensory practices to sharpen the sense of sight and hearing while enjoying time outdoors.
Session 5 Thursday May 12 19.30 CET
The Bears move in Harmony with the Rhythms and Cycles of the Earth.
Among the most ancient of all the animal wisdom teachers, bears bring powerful medicine – showing us how to enter into harmony with the natural cycles of waking and sleeping, creativity and rest. When the bear mother emerges in spring from her winter sleep, she brings out new life – the cubs that she birthed and nurtured in the winter darkness of her den.
In this session we meet the brown bears of the magical forests of northern Finland, where bears have long been loved and revered in story and mythology. And experience a guided meditation to enter a deeper state of rest and relaxation that completely restores our energy.
With more practices to enhance the senses of touch and smell and add pleasure to our time in nature.
Session 6 Thursday May 19 19.30 CET
The Buffalo Stand in Sovereign Strength on the Ground.
Buffalo are returning to the wild, after their great herds were brought to the edge of extinction in both Europe and North America. We travel to meet the rewilded buffalo that are being brought back into landscapes across Europe, and meet the wild African buffalo of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
Feeling their potent presence, we sense again the deep underlying strength of the natural world, and come back into the rooted strength of our own human-animal nature.
Session 7 Thursday May 26 19.30 CET
The Elephants are our Elders, and Teachers of Natural Leadership
The qualities of natural leadership are exemplifed in the majestic elephant elders, both female and male, who bring the knowledge and wisdom of their long life experience into raising and mentoring their young to adulthood. Taking the elephants as our teachers, we learn how natural leadership, and the life experience of elders, can enhance relationships in human families and groups for the benefit of all.
Session 8 Thursday 2 June 19.30 CET
The Songs of Great Whales are Heard in the Sea.
Coming full circle, we return to where we began with the oceanic breathing of the whales. Realizing the great circle of life, we realize our common spiritual origin, the Source from which all life emerges.
The humpbacks and many other great whales express the expansive nature of their belonging in the songs, that resonate out, across the vastness of the sea. Listening to their voices expands awareness, and brings realisation that the wonder of human creativity is also part of the great Song of Life, and we are supported by the whole of nature.
With guided meditation to experience the great circle of life with our companions, animal and plant and mineral, and all life forms.
