12:00pm Supporting Elementals Through Outer Festivals and Inner Practices ~ Lisa Romero

Through the course of the year, elemental beings have a changing, dynamic relationship to the earth and its seasons. The festivals are a coming together of elemental beings, human beings, and spiritual beings, and we acknowledge the intimately woven relationship we share. Festivals help us to recognise the connection of the earth’s being with our own being, and to deepen reverence, awe, and responsibility for the life of the earth and for our individual and shared journey. Lisa Romero will be sharing her ongoing work on deepening and developing the festivals as a conscious support for elemental beings and their important role in climate change and the world's health.

1:00pm Biography Work Interludes ~ Janey Newton  

We human beings are continually having experiences with the elementals.  For many of us there are brief moments when we become aware of these encounters.  Together we will dip into our own biographies in order to recall and share some of those moments.  The speaking of and listening to one another’s stories can bring forth a deeper understanding of the work and qualities of the elementals. MATERIALS NEEDED: Unlined paper and crayons/colored pencils.

1:45 pm Dialogue with Nature ~ Bastiaan Baan 

We will work with a simple form of plant observation. Therefore, each participant needs a flower or a blooming plant. After this basic exercise, Bastiaan Baan will introduce next steps in developing a relationship with the realm of life forces in nature. This method begins with sense perception and leads eventually to a spiritual dialogue with nature. MATERIALS NEEDED: A flower or a blooming plant.
