In this recorded offering…
You will explore the principles and core beliefs that are held in common by all Nature-based practitioners from a wide variety of cultures: from the Far East to the African Diaspora to Modern Neo-Pagans, will the goal of inspiring and uniting those who practice Nature and Earth-based spirituality to be a driving force for shifting the paradigm.
The cauldron is a metaphor for the fiery core of Earth’s consciousness and life force. It is a symbol that appears in many cultures across the world. Mother Earth’s cauldron has been dimmed as we come to the end of a Western paradigm that prioritizes patriarchy, domination, individual wealth, materialism, and consumerism over egalitarian society, shared humanity, and the health and well-being of all living beings. Where do we go from here?
Returning to Nature-based spiritual practices and values includes developing a holistic individual and collective way of being that prioritizes self-care, healing, creating community, and developing a relationship with ancestors and fellow sentient beings. Nature spirituality is a way of being in the world that embraces the spirit residing in all things, including us. Together we will look deeper at the five elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit in order to embody these elements in our lives.
This recorded offering is for…
Anyone curious about Nature-Based Spirituality or who wants to be part of shifting the Western-paradigm by using ritual to prioritize self-care, healing, creating community, and developing a relationship with ancestors and fellow sentient beings.
