'And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul’ – Anonymous

In these changing challenging times, many people feel drawn to work for our planet and community. The heart yearns to re-connect to our Earth from a place of balance and harmony. Nature awaits our awakening. But where do we start?

This five day workshop 13-17 June 2024 is based on the beautiful work of Sandra Ingerman’s Medicine for the Earth: shamanicteachers.com Our intention is to learn practices which integrate our spiritual work into our daily lives becoming the change we want to see in the world.

Through the workshop, we will learn how to transmute negative beliefs and attitudes through the practice of transfiguration. As we find balance and harmony within we effect the world without. Our Earth needs us. Now is the time for us to heal, to integrate at our most compassionate.

Throughout our days together we will work with all the elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Ceremonies will be held each night including a fire ceremony.

Medicine for the Earth results are so powerful that Sandra was asked to present her results to the United Nations. Please have a look at her site for a sense of the work involved.

“Love is an essential ingredient in all miracles as it is only love that heals. Techniques don’t heal” Sandra Ingerman

The Earth is calling out for the human race to remember and respect the connection we have with all of life and so it is with great delight that Shamanic Life offers the renowned work of Sandra Ingerman, Medicine for the Earth, in a five-day self-catering residential course.

Held over five days we will learn grounded practices and hold ceremonies in community with each other using drumming, singing and working with the elements to re-connect with ourselves and the Earth.

Location

It’s the first time we are able to facilitate the course residentially, we have been searching for some time to find a space that resonates and weaves easily with the Medicine for the Earth course material. We were so excited when we found Olchon Valley Campsite! This is a part of the world where the valley sings with beautiful meadows and woodlands that are and hugged by rugged hills. It is easy to feel the pulse of the earth here.

The campsite itself is on a traditional hill sheep farm in the Black Mountains, on the eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park on the border between England and Wales, UK. At over 1,000 feet above sea level, it offers a peaceful, rural site in an area of stunning scenery with spectacular, dark night skies. The site is strongly committed to ensuring that visitors ‘tread lightly’ on the natural environment and is ‘off grid’ with electric hook ups in communal space only to allow people to switch off from technology and immerse themselves in the land.

The accommodation comprises of furnished yurts, tent pitches and spaces for small campervans.
