Shamanic Tools for Expressing your Truth - Earth School Retreat

Date: 29 July - 1 August 2021

'Speak and listen from the heart and wisdom will be revealed.'

Practical Shamanic Tools for Expressing Your Truth shares the art of authentic communication through passed down ancient wisdom and magic.

Working with the element of stone through connecting with minerals from the earth, learn from the wisdom of nature during this 3 day retreat, hosted by the Earth School at the magical Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat.

Our words and actions are all we have to express ourselves in the world. They symbolise our understanding, our hopes, desires, and fears. Yet all conflict has its root in misunderstanding or an inability to communicate - to be heard, and to hear. When we feel deficient in either of these, our ability to speak is compromised because speaking and listening are deeply interrelated.

Speaking and listening from the HEART (instead of the head) opens the gateway to the profound truths resident in each of us. Clear, unfiltered, verbal (and non-verbal) communication, carries the power to lead, heal, reconcile, and develop a deep connection with self and other.

You'll get to create your very own talking stick/piece - an essential device in circle work of all kinds.

This retreat is created for you in the magical valley of Bodhi Khaya. A rare opportunity to re-orient and re-find your inspiration. What or who may begin to re-emerge when feeling safely immersed in a natural biome of intact intelligence, and energetically cleansed by ancient trees and flowers, sweet mountain water, and highly oxygenated air?
