The Green Fire of Life @ Dreamland Sanctuary
Jun 3 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

 The Potent Power, Enduring Wisdom & Sacred Presence of Plants and Trees

with Orion Foxwood

 “Green Fire of Joy. Green Fire of Life.

Be with Thou through the Stress and Strife.

Be with Thou through the Shadow and Shine”…

(Fiona Macleod)

 

                                       The folkloric faery tradition teaches that there are three great oceans that make life possible on earth: the ocean of blue (water), the ocean of black (the soil) and the ocean of green (the plants and trees). The vast presence of this “green ocean” in its rich diversity maintains the ozone, feeds us food, produces oxygen, and bridges many vital elements needed for our body’s wellbeing.  Their bodies for our homes, paper, herbal medicines, and the list goes on. The very image of a tree is imprinted on our nervous system, and it forms the sacred image of the cosmogram. With all this, we deforest, over harvest, and treat the green world as an expendable resource without intelligence.  Now, we face an extinction event, species die off and cataclysmic weather changes. We must re- teether ourselves, as our ancestors did to the axis Mundi, and be washed in the heart flame of Green fire. This is material I have never presented before, and it is extremely powerful. Come and learn the ancient mystery of “the Green Re-veining,” “the Green Flame and the Ocean of Green”, “the Green Mist of Eternal Spring”, “the Green Children”, “the Original Trees”, “the Sword of the Green Flame” (lineage and technique), “the Water and Soil Blessing”, the use of “the Circulating Breath”, “Bless and Take Hands with the Little Giants. and more. This workshop will be very experimental and we will be in direct contact with profound power, presence, and wisdom. New allies will emerge from the primal memory and may change your relationship with the Green People forever.

This course is designed to teach Shamanic technique that can support  people suffering from anxiety, depression and stress. So many people are burdened with fear of the future, hopelessness, crippling stress and uncertainty. Sometimes they are advised to meditate as a way of coping but it is virtually impossible to meditate properly when depression or stress zaps your energy. Shamanic technique includes drumming and other practices that can be easily incorporated with little or no cost into a busy life. ​This course does not replace medication and therapy but will teach shamanic techniques that can help you to regain some connection with yourself and with happiness.

What people are saying about this course:

“In Shamanic Support Group for Depression and Anxiety, Meri has created a welcoming, friendly, and supportive energy that made it easy to share reflections on the tools she taught us. I gained mental health strategies like drumming and guided visualizations that helped me cultivate calm on the inside. I especially loved learning how awareness of the spirit of nature, animals and loved ones in spirit form can support us unconditionally in pursuing a self-healing path. Thank you sincerely, Meri!” ~Kalyn Sloan ”

The Shamanic support group provided a safe place to learn new ways to cope with anxiety and depression. I found an understanding of why I have these feelings and gained a new set of tools to use to ease my symptoms. This group gave me the information I needed to help myself and my family. ” Sarah “I feel like I want to do it again just for the experience of it once again  wonderful course.” Loni Dilaj

“Wonderful course drawing on all the spirits around to give me strength and guidance. I would recommend this course to anyone feeling anxious or depressed it works , it helps. And you feel great.” Walter Maclean “A really good class, not talking about personal problems, instead offering helping solutions to whatever the problems might be. Well worth the time and effort.” Herne

” I really enjoyed this course. The exercises are very simple and accessible to practitioners of any level. And if you open a space in your life for this practice, you start to notice that you’re not alone, that something bigger is accompanying and supporting you in everyday life. The energy was very positive and peaceful during the sessions. This is what I needed: some time and space free of what depresses me and filled with what makes me a different person.” Yana
