like an oak:
Men's shamanic initiation
It's time for men to be healed and honoured as the counterpart to the Goddess.
A circle of Men, diving into your Shamanic Healing.
Realising your Power - Potency - Love and Strength. Not just in your mind, but felt, embodied and lived in the world.
Discovering the metaphors and magic of the Oak and the Solar, the land that we walk upon and your connection to nature.
For men who are looking for re-connection; healing, refinding your way in this new world using old practises. Remembering who you are.
In person gatherings working towards an Initiation - a ritually marked moment when you step through into a rebirth, newness, but also back to your original design - who you have always been beneath it all.
Working with Shamanic practises to heal yourself and find your essence.
5, in person, weekend gatherings on the Shropshire/ Herefordshire border. With a final 5 day long Initiation in the wild.
Working with Ruth Cato, special space holding guests and your circle of brothers; all feelings are welcome, we practice open hearted non judgment and find our way into your intuition. Men being Initiated by women is a potent lead into becoming King. Being guided by a woman works not only beautifully but if very much of the time. We step in shoulder to shoulder.
Step back into the innate magic you hold.
Rebirth comes with your initiation.
Training from the land you walk upon and the spirits who are with you. Discovering your Shamanic Path, that is yours, ancient and true.
Each weekend gathering will include:
Promises, creating your container including finding & working with guides.
Ritual.
Circle sharing.
Nature connection.
Drum Journeying or Trance states.
Study of the Oak's metaphor & medicine.
Study of the Solar essence and the masculine consort to the Goddess of the Earth.
Personal work: healing and understanding yourself further.
Intuitive study.
Aftercare suggestions to integrate the work.
In between gatherings an online men's circle held by our male space holder.
Our Off Grid Initiation will be crafted to suit the group, but will likely include silent, maybe solo time in nature as well as group ritual and celebration.
