Earth as Teacher, Earth as Healer

one-day workshop
“Earth as Teacher, Earth as Healer”
The Earth herself is our greatest teacher and healer, whether we want to heal and transform our personal hurts, or heal the huge wounds our society inflicts on the Earth and other human beings. The ancient Goddess traditions had no sacred texts or dogmas: instead, their mystics learned to read the book of nature. Understanding how the Earth’s cycles work, how change occurs in nature, and how Mother Earth designs co-evolving, interdependent systems can help us be better designers of the changes we want to see in our own lives and the world. No matter what the outcome of current political debates, the work of healing will continue for our lifetimes, and our connection to Earth is our deepest source of hope, renewal, and strength. This workshop, drawing on Starhawk’s latest book Earth Path, weaves together ritual, guided journeys, games, and stories to help us connect more deeply with the great transformative powers of nature, and to bring those creative energies fully alive in our lives, homes, and communities so that we can also bring healing, justice, and balance into the world.
