Imbolc: Awakening the Inner Fire

With Robert Osborn & Marta Emmitt

 

Hazel Hill Wood, Salisbury, Friday February 1, 2008 6:30 pm -Sunday February  3, 4:00pm

Imbolc is the Celtic festival which celebrates the lighting of Brigit’s cleansing and re-vitalizing fire, the inner fire which prepares the way for the new growth when the world moves from Winter into Spring.  There is no better place to go deeply into this energy than Hazel Hill wood, a magical 70-acre wood situated deep in the countryside, near Salisbury, with abundant wildlife and a beautiful Centre, with wood-burning stoves, a lovely indoor group room, kitchen facilities, sleeping lofts and hot showers.

This workshop is about attuning to the energy of Imbolc, and preparing ourselves to experience that inner awakening in ourselves.  Hazel Hill Wood offers a wonderful retreat in which to experience the nature of tantric energy in a uniquely powerful way.  We will teach the fundamental principles of tantra, learning to experience ourselves as human energy-forms surrounded by the elemental natural energies of the wood and its non-human creatures.  Our tools will be a blend of meditation, dance, breathing, voicework, bodywork, massage, the creative therapies and the classic rituals of western tantra.  But in all our work we will also connect with the wood, expanding our awareness to absorb its healing energy, listen to its wisdom, and learn to dance our human, sexual dance embraced by its otherness.  

 

7:00pm Friday - 4:30pm Sunday       Cost: £110 per person plus bring food to share.                 Deposit £50.
