Mythos step 2: Rituals
Retreat October 2-4, Farris Bad
Rituals are pathways to change. They are alchemy in action, the sacred portal from here to there. We need them just as a castle needs its hidden passageways. Straight lines, corridors and hallways don't always work. Sometimes we need to go off the map, to take a short cut through this three dimensional world. We need to move directly to Now without passing Go. This is the essence of ritual - to take ordinary objects and reveal the sublime in them, in such a way that we ourselves are changed. Rituals are movements of reconnection. Returning to balance, turning again to the centre, to peace, to presence. To be alive. When we have been riding the storm of life, when we have been lost or when we have lost ourselves they are the guide that brings us home.
During the retreat you will experience rituals from Celtic and Sufi traditions, and from the world of gong. At the same time you will be guided into the understanding of how a ritual works, how to create rituals that are personal and relate to your own life. The retreat is structured as a journey so some rituals are scheduled, others will arise from the needs of the group. There will be rituals for rites of passage, grief and loss, inviting the presence of the divine and for celebration. This retreat is for those of you looking for a deeper spiritual connection in your own life, and for those wishing to create rituals and guide others through them as a path to insight or healing.
