THE TURNING OF THE YEAR

with David Scott & Shenoah Taylor

Wednesday 18th June 2008 - Wednesday 29th April 2009

Many people feel their strongest connection when in wild nature - but wherever we live we are exposed to the sky, stars, sun, seasons and elements every day of our lives and so can experience the power of nature wherever we want and need.

This course will support people to connect more deeply with the power and wisdom the seasons, weather and our surroundings have to offer us while developing personal discipline in shamanic practice.

We will be meeting on 6 Wednesday over the coming year before the major turnings of the year, Solstices, Equinoxes and two Cross-quarter days. We will also also have ongoing work between meetings to support the years turning. This will enable us to work alongside the changes that the seasons bring and the changes we experience in our own lives at different times of the year. In this way we can feel the rhythm and power of nature and become more connected to natures cycles and our own.

At the 6 meetings we will be sharing the experiences, teachings and realisations from the previous season. We will also be doing preparatory work for the upcoming season. We will send out monthly journeys and bi-weekly tasks to do between meetings to open the doors into the work and experiences.

There is a commitment outside of the meetings to do the ongoing work that is set and to be in contact with one other person on the course between each meeting for support and to share experiences. This can be either by phone or e-mail or if you wish meeting up, the person will change at each meeting. You can contact us at any time between the meetings.

The course can be joined at equinox or solstice meetings during the year but the full fee is payable before the first meeting attended.

Prerequisites for attending this course is to have completed a basic course in core shamanism. If you are unsure if a course you have attended has given you the necessary experience to attend the Turning of the Year course please contact us.
