Leçon 1
Foundation: Nature As Sacred
In this introductory session, you’ll learn more about what this course is and what we might achieve by working through this course together. We’ll explore some of the principles of energy work, animism and shamanism that inform the practices offered over the coming days, and finish with a collective meditation ceremony to offer healing to the Earth.
Leçon 2
Relationship: We Are Nature
Our current paradigms place us as if we were outside of nature, and not a part of it. This is, of course, simply not true - we are a living, breathing, animated part of the ecosystem of life on Earth. In today’s practice we will cultivate an awareness of that interrelatedness and what it means.
Leçon 3
Relationship: Earth and Self
Oh we dear, silly, humans, bless us, and bless the Earth. Our current psycho-cultural paradigms leave us in a place where we do not intuitively care for ourselves, and in an echo of this we do not intuitively care for the Earth. In today’s session we address this need for profound self love and the impact this can make on our ecosystem.
Leçon 4
Relationship: The Haves, the Have-Nots, and the Earth
Our relationship with each other is echoed in our relationship with the Earth. We must learn to treat each other with equality of respect and opportunity, to cultivate a loving, caring, and solid way of relating which we can extend to all beings. In today’s session we look at the way we frame other human beings, human societies, and our relationship with them, and commit to justice within human relationships and the Earth.
Leçon 5
Relationship: Mother Earth
Is the climate crisis at all surprising when we gender the Earth as female in a highly misogynistic society; when we identify her with the Mother archetype in a world where mothers are not well resourced by their communities? In today’s session we explore our behaviour as Mother Earth’s spoilt children, and how we can start to come into our adulthood and an age of community responsibility.
The practice starts at 7:38.
Leçon 6
Relationship: All the Beings of Earth
This world we live in is full of the most wonderful diversity of living beings, and we are relating with them all the time. In today’s session, we open our awareness to those who co-inhabit the Earth with us, and bring our intention to those relationships.
Leçon 7
Process: Grieving What Is Lost
To really work with the Sacred Earth, we must acknowledge that which is already lost, and the period of grief that we are living through. Today’s session is a depth practice to hold space for those parts of us that are grieving, and acknowledge all of the non human beings who we have lost on this planet.
Leçon 8
Action: Stopping the Bad Guys
At this stage in human civilisation, it must be admitted that there are bad actors out there whose modus operandi is destruction, and who are bad for us and for the Earth. In today’s session, we’ll engage in a community practice to place protective boundaries and remove power from those who would do harm.
Leçon 9
Action: Warriors, Guardians, Protectors
Each day, there are those among us who stand up for the Earth, for our land and our waters and our forests and the beings that populate them. In today’s session, we will call down a blessing on the Warriors, Guardians, and Protectors, and reflect on how we can generate resources to support these modern day heroes.
Leçon 10
Action: Nurturing Locally
A commitment to love and care for the Earth starts in our local communities. By now you know, of course, that your local communities might include humans but are certainly not limited to them! Today, you connect with energies local to you in a spirit of community, of listening and of sharing, to discover how you can begin to share nurture right now where you are.
Leçon 11
Action: Nurturing Globally
We can extend our love and care for the Earth around the globe, with mindfulness of our interconnectedness and of our planet as a community. In today’s practice, we’ll connect in with these principles to commit to nurture all our fellow Earthlings.
Leçon 12
Integration: Blessings and Commitment
Together, we are building a future, in community and with the Earth. In today’s session, we enter sacred space to commit to this goal, and receive a very special blessing as we integrate and end the course. Remember you can come back to any of the sessions at any time to reaffirm and boost the magic.
