We are wild creatures still, at heart, and if we listen to our hearts
we will remember how to listen to the song
of the fierce-beaked, wild-winged little wren
who, hopping from tree to stump, shows us the way home.
— Sharon Blackie
An immersive, collaborative, and sacred gathering structured around four —four seasons, four directions, four elements, four chambers of our hearts.
On the eve of the solstices and equinoxes, we will meet via Zoom to ease into the season and the wisdom it wants to offer. In between we will meet in person at Shepherd’s Corner, Blacklick, Ohio. Through our bodies and breath, listening with the natural world, making, ritual, and dialogue we will continue to discover and create our personal and shared wild rhythms.
Curiosity, courage, a longing for connection, desire for deeper listening through ritual and practice…. These will create an energetic vessel and supportive community for everyday mystery and wisdom to unfold.
