About this event
About this Event
Our focus in this session will be on the Willow tree, continuing the lore we explored in the previous session and bringing in new aspects to enable us to go deeper into the mysteries of Willow.
You do not need to have attended the previous session.
The themes of the willow are intrinsically linked with the waterways, invoking a feminine presence which breaks up the skyline and encourages wildlife where the land meets the water.
The beauty of our rivers, brooks and streams is a joy to behold and one can see why our ancestors gave names to the rivers linking them to the Goddess. The terrible pollution of our waterways is in direct contradiction to the tradition and importance of their function.
Through the willow we shall connect with our deep ancestors bringing an awareness of the role we can play in bringing healing to the earth and peace in our lives through a nature connection.
Regular attendance will enable you to build up a worthwhile practice and connection to nature which will help you in your everyday life and enable a connection with a community of like-minded people.
