Time in Nature Weekend Workshop A
weekend workshop including guidance and shared reflection to get
the most out of time alone including: ceremony; practical,
emotional and spiritual preparation; an opportunity to fast; and a
safe, held space to spend a night alone in Nature. Many
people, when they learn about Vision Quest, may be attracted to
the idea but feel they are still a long way from choosing three
days and nights fasting in the wilderness. Indeed, to really
benefit from this experience, it is helpful and rewarding to
prepare yourself. For some, the idea of a night out alone is
daunting enough. Fasting will perhaps be seen only as deprivation. This
workshop is a way to deepen one’s relationship to self through
Nature; naming the fears; and with guidance, overcome and receive
comfort and insight from the Earth. There
will be a base including a fire, which will become the central
space for the weekend. From here I will help you individually and
as a group to face the challenges and share the joys, and create a
safe and creative space for your sole time (even within view of
the fire where I shall remain through the night). We
will also do Ceremony to strengthen, and help you to integrate the
experience into your life. Expect
a weekend of fun, self-discovery and deepening.

Lucy’s
special connection with Westley Farm Twenty
years ago, when my children were very young I felt the need to be
part of a sharing group but one with its roots in Nature. There
were four of us who got together, and for 13 years we met to
‘turn the wheel’ in our willow bender which we wove together,
and with kind permission of Julian and Hege, sited in the woods at
Westley Farm. We went through so much together in those years,
always with the seasons to mark where we were, and helping us to
find insight through corresponding inner cycles.
We shared joy and grief with each other and the Earth, and
it awoke in us wisdom, understanding and clarity. After
our group disbanded, I continued in my practice and share it with
my husband, as well as with individuals who come to my studio for
1:1 sessions. Sharing this practice is what I am bound to do and I
love to coax others into forming their own groups and unearthing
their individual ways to creatively connect with the Earth and all
that it inspires in us, including a sense of gratitude and a means
to express it. So here’s a start... |
