When the Sky is Falling, How Do We Catch It?
Reckoning with Our Fear, Sourcing Our Purpose
4PM, Saturday, May 3 - 12PM, Sunday, May 4
at the N.E.S.T. in Woodstock, NY
Join us for an overnight workshop informed by the current times.
Through a combination of Kaleidoscopic Constellations, guided meditation, as well as ritual and writing practices, Kathleen will guide participants through two components: tracking the sources of our own fears and sourcing our purpose as we evolve in this profound moment of human consciousness!
As we watch the unfolding chaos of greed untrammeled, we must bring the unflinching light of scrutiny to the places within our own psyches and spirits that make us susceptible to the infection of fear.
If we look through the lens of history, we can observe periods of cataclysmic upheaval. We are at such a threshold time now. We are in the midst of an inescapable, profound shift in the global world order, like nothing we have experienced in our lifetimes. How do we grapple with this?
Yet, we are here and now. Some perspectives say our spirits chose to incarnate at this momentous time. We are here and now for a reason.
And it is imperative we reckon with our fears as we find our purpose.
In this way, we put on the armor of truth.
Those of us who can, must.
And this is what calls our spirits to rise!
How do we hold sanctuary for ourselves?
What nourishes us, what feeds us?
How do we derive strength and resilience from our lineages?
We invite you to bring a form of food that provides comfort to you and/or is linked to your ancestry or other form of lineage. Can be pre-prepared and/or prepared on site. We will co-create a sacred meal together and a Beltane Fire Ceremony.
