Connect with the Spirits of Nature – A One Day Ancestral Plant & Elemental Retreat
September 21 @ 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
We are delighted to welcome Niamh Murray in the collaborative creation of a very special day retreat with Joanna at Roots to the Moon. This unique day will welcome the elemental beings of Earth, Fire, Air and Water to come and help us work closely with the spirits of plants and share their ancient wisdom.
Niamh is a multi- disciplinary artist, educator and Irish spiritual practitioner based in London. She works within nature, the elements and alongside the ancestors as ‘seer-er’ of ‘other-worlds’, whilst teaching workshops in the ‘Art of Ogham’ – an ancient Irish divination practice.
Our planet Earth is made up of the four elements – Earth, Air, Water, Fire we too are made up of these elements, as are all other ethereal beings. It is through remembering the ‘elemental body’ of ourselves that we remember our relationship with our elemental kin and deepen our relationship with the mother ‘Earth’.
In this special ceremony we lead you on a journey dedicated to the elemental kingdom to help you see, hear, sing, listen, taste or feel your way through and into the supersensible world. The techniques we use will help you in perceiving and communicating with the elemental self (inner world) and the greater vessel (outer world) empowering you to heal and grow.
We will work closely with the plants and share their ancient wisdom, focusing in on the spirit of Mugwort (woman of the woods) we hope she will provide a bridge for us to delve deeply and authentically into the other worlds.
We will create a bio- dynamic (tonic) which will hold our prayer for the earth and act as a messenger to the elementals speaking our intentions. We will prepare the tonic together and make petitions to the elemental kingdoms, to the air, the fire, the water and the earth.
By creating ceremony on the land, we will raise our earth consciousness enabling our communication with these beings and creating the perfect intention for healing, nourishment and restoring the balance we so desperately seek.
On the September Equinox, we often experience a perfect equilibrium between our external experiences and our inner spiritual journey. This is an ideal moment in the astrological map to spend time learning how to communicate with the elementals.
Communication with them allows us to see ourselves more clearly, enabling us to make the necessary adjustments for personal growth as well as truly experiencing ourselves at one and a part of the greater design.
