The mysteries of Welsh sacred practices have not been lost, they are alive and vibrant.
At a time when they were suppressed, our Ancestors sung the stories into the trees, they whispered to the winds and danced the beauty into the stones. Nothing is lost. The wisdom was placed into the guardianship of the ‘Other-world’ the imaginal land of dreams, until the dreamers came forth once more to claim the knowledge and dream it back into being.
The time is now.
The Awenydd; one who walks in light and inspires.
Inspires our calling to the Awenydd in each and everyone to listen to the trees, smell the stories in the winds and let the wisdom of the land re-emerge and evolve. In Wales there is a long tradition of ‘spirit bringers’ and ‘dream bringers’ which take us into other realms through sacred ecstatic practices.
In this workshop we will explore, opening a gateway using the ‘Shamanic Journey’ or ‘dream gate’ individually and as a community. The Otherworld calls to be sung into existence.
We will explore the stories of the Mabinogi, a Welsh ‘creation story’? What was before, the roots of the magic? Returning to the mythic realms, re-birthing the essence of these wise ways will fill our time together. Bardic stories of ancient metaphor and teaching, reviewed in the context of now. Parts of this workshop will be translated into Welsh.
