Wildcrafting Ceremony | 8-week course online | Starting Feb 24th 10:30am PST

    I would like to invite you all into a program called Wildcraft Ceremony. Nate Summers and I are co-teaching an eight-week course together on ceremony in and with nature.

    In this eight-week, Zoom-style online class, Sarah and Nate will lead participants on a rich and deeply connective journey into how to create and perform nature-based ceremony.  For millenia, human beings have developed ceremonies that deepen their relationship to place, honor the sacred, and create transformation for themselves and the world around them.  You could say it is a human birthright.

    Yet, in the 21st century we face myriad complexities around honoring where we came from, being respectful of the land and people of the land we now live on, and also the darkness of an increasingly pervasive destructive lifestyle and worldview.   Going back to the original place where ceremony emerges from: our own connection to place and nature, can reveal a path that enables us to go forward in a powerful, respectful, and hopeful way.

    During the course, we will cover topics such as Ancestors, Dreaming, Purification, Nature Spirits, Catching Songs, Visioning, Prayer, Elements of Ceremony, Honoring the Sun and Moon Cycles and much much more.  All of the teachings will be presented in a holistic way that is non-appropriative of traditional cultures.  Each week participants will be given multiple take-home exercises to deepen their connection to nature and the Sacred in their own lives.  Ultimately, this course will provide the foundation for developing and creating your own ceremonies to nourish yourself, the land you live on, and your community.

    Each class will be 90-minutes long with ample time for questions and answers.

    Guest Instructors: Gene Tagaban (hopefully) and/or Jon Young, Mink Taylor, Karen Joy Fletcher
