The Call of the Wild Falcons - A Ten Month Course With Andreas Kornevall

I am inviting you into a yearlong immersion of land healing arts, ecological restoration, storytelling, Norse myth and magic, and contemplative practices with rune chanting, meditations and ceremonial blots (blessings).

This 10 month course aims to deliver a positive impact to the well-being of the landscape, yourself and the larger community. We will also form a fellowship together as we journey and support each other through this rich content.

The course has an ancestral Northern focus, but it also ventures into the Vedic traditions and Buddhist explorations.

Each session is two hours per month and will be recorded. There is also a lively international community for friendship and conversations.

There will be an in-person event over a weekend in Sussex (UK) for those living more locally which is a beautiful ancestral re-wilded landscape and also a retreat centre. For those abroad, or who can't make the in person event, an alternative online event will be organised.

The Wild Falcon Syllabus:

28th October

7-9pm (UK time)

The Blessed Horizon:

Introduction to the Art of Rune Chanting and the Opening of New and Old Worlds

Exploring the art of rune-chanting as a means of enhancing, shaping and preparing the mind for meditation, land healing, insight, opening of worlds and ceremonial practice. We will look at how the sound of letters affect our body and mind. Inquiring into how language is an organ of perception and how letters and runes are used for accessing worlds in the Tree of Life. This rune-magic radically affects our creativity and storytelling, we will be using examples of JRR. Tolkien and how his Elvish language opened the gates to Middle Earth.

19th November

7-9pm (UK time)

The Haunted Horizon:

Narrative Charms and Spells

Following from the rune chanting practice, this is an introduction to the ancient practice of narrative charms (rhyme chronicles) both as a method of healing and transforming the mind and as spell casting. We will discover the myth-structures and the narrative charms from the Swedish Trolldom tradition and the Noituus charm-spells of the Finnish Kalevala. Narrative charms will be used as vehicles of transformation and you will learn how to apply this to benefit the larger ecology and community.

4th December

7-9pm (UK time)

Gathering the Bundles:

Tabular Correspondences

Creating and starting a set of personal tabular correspondences with runes, gematria, pantheons, plants, perfumes and incenses. Introducing the art of sigil crafting. Correspondences here will be used cross-culturally using sources and knowledge from Vedic, Egypt, Norse, and Greek systems.

8th January

7-9pm (UK time)

The Staff and the Song:

Visionary journeys into the Tree of Life

Introducing visionary journeys of contemporary core-shamanism as a means to explore the Northern soul perception and the worlds in the Tree of Life. Tracking the life of the traditional Völva as an oracle. Working with the traditional wooden or iron staff as a means of grounding and navigating our inner worlds, discovering rune songs to bring altered levels of consciousness and learning our staff-song. Settling into a meditative practice for a stability - we will practice both still meditation and movement based.

5th February

7-9pm (UK time)

Earth Serpents and Sky Eagles:

The Inner Labyrinth - Inanna - the story of the feminine

Working with the labyrinth, how can it be used for psychological and spiritual integration? Can labyrinths in the landscape benefit the community where you live? You will learn to create your own labyrinth to use in ceremonies for positive impact purposes. The labyrinth will also introduce shadow work integrating the sky eagle and the earth serpent as a reconciliation and integrated force within ourselves. We will follow the ancient Sumerian story of Inanna as a liberating force of the feminine and how it guides us through the darker parts of our labyrinth journey.

12th of March

7-9pm (UK time)

Watering the Well of Memory:

The Blot Practice

The performance of a blot (blessing) is made to ensure the fertility of the land, to ensure a good harvest and peace. This will be an in-depth practical session of making blots and following a blot calendar, and how they relate to other rituals world-wide such as Indian pujas. We will work with the practical side of how to “do blots” and how they can help us in assisting the most vulnerable in society, human and non-human.

9th April

7-9pm (UK time)

Hearing the Call:

Spirit, Prayers and Practice

Enter our calling. What can you do to help an endangered species in practical terms? How can your practice become a blessing? What are the tools that you have that can start an impactful project? How can you make this into a reality? We will focus on real life situations and how we can be aligned to our values and ethics. As a group we will support each other in this practical effort. Andreas has years of experience with volunteer projects worldwide and is passionate in connecting people with activities benefitting local ecologies, especially in the field of Earth restoration.

7th May

7-9pm (UK time)

Opening the Senses:

The Blot as a Land Healing Art Form

Together we will support each other in developing large, complex and beautiful land healing ceremonies, using ancient sources with new ideas from the deep imagination. Fresh practices which flower from our own senses and voices. Expect crafting personal rituals in “fearless abiding” to enable this to flourish into our lives and to challenge the stories that are holding us back to get this work done.

11th June

7-9pm (UK time)

The Crossroad of Life:

Preparing for the Utiseta

The Utiseta practice is a contemplative practice rooted in Norse traditions, created for seeking personal growth and to carry our questions deep into the night. In this practice, the forest’s language and expression becomes the oracle and the teacher. We will weave all our rune chants, staff songs and narrative charms together to transform as tools to bring when we carry out our Utiseta or other contemplative and ritual practices.

Weekend 3-5 July 2026

(Fri 5pm - Sun 3pm)

The Clover Honey Mead :

Utiseta in the woven Forest

An in-person weekend and a night of Utiseta, sitting from dusk to dawn. There will be blessings and ceremony for having completed the 10 month journey and companionship under the stars by leaping flames.

Expect stories, music and singing. If you are not able to attend in person an alternative session will be made online for those living abroad and we will try guide an Utiseta with local practioners and find ways in which it can be done even though you cannot be with us in person, we will develop a local support group which can meet in person when possible.

Each person completing the year course will be given a full endorsement and a signed letter of recommendation.

Join us in dreaming to sow new flowering fields and woodlands, to revive our ancestral practices and to find a life long fellowship in this work.
