20-22nd October 2023
SINTRA, LISBOA, PORTUGAL
Rob Dreaming – Trainer plus Team
3-day preparatory work toward a deeper awareness and wider standing to think and act like a circle.
When collectively practiced with clear intent, we can touch the field, open to reflections, see, hear and find ourselves in each others stories.
As we deepen the practice, our interconnectedness becomes more apparent, weaving through our relations, our history and the stories of our ancestors. Our natural environment, past, presence and future are no longer separated as concepts but increasingly embodied by our lives and experiences as living bridges that connect them, our stories the rivers that pass through.
Way of Council is an art of listening… a moment to breathe… a ceremony.
DEEPER THAN BEFORE
As guides and participants we will encounter –
• Mindfulnes – A marking of the path along on the way
• Deepening cohesion in circle practice – The how and the why
• Sitting with the shadows – Offering the gift
• Yarning the thread that reaches forward – An intention beyond our own, beyond the circle
• Nature walk
• Dreams
• Bodywork
• Meditation
This work offers a deepening in Council work, nature, and ceremony. A deepening is offered to those who are committed to carry the practice of circle work, whether Way of Council or some other ‘Way’. Our questions are the leaders, the encounters in our work the material from which we will draw, and from there, collectively explore.
