Trees,
Stones and Bones
A year long
course in modern Pagan Druidry with
Rob Wilson
Journeying
through a whole cycle
of the year, Trees, Stones and Bones is a course that guides you to find
your own unique relationships with nature; land, sea and sky, with the
ancestors, deity and indeed your own soul truths.
Druidry is
vibrant and evolving spiritual tradition that is firmly rooted as an
ancient tradition of these lands. It allows our vision and web of
scared relationships to the world inspire us, the honour nature, the
seasonal tides. We find the courage and expression to allow our wild
soul to open and be touched by the wild soul of nature around us.
CONTENT:
The aim of this course is
to provide you with a sacred space to assist your journey to finding a
depth of awareness and vision to express your own vision of Druidry.
Exploring and deepening our connection to, and understanding of
Ancestors, Deity, Spirits of place, the seasonal cycle, energy and
spirit. We will work with scared space, ritual, questing for inspiration
to be creatively expressed - true Awen. There will also be a Sweatlodge
and a visit to a Neolithic Long Barrow.
Journeying along
the birch lined path of the Bard, we become aware of whom we truly are,
of how we relate to our environment, the land, the ancestors, and
express our sacred connection creatively with the fuel that is this
inspiration. As the woodland, becomes denser and darker, we find
ourselves walking and dreaming along the yew lined path of the Ovate. We
know and sense the spirit in all things and experience all worlds, and
find the healing and prophecy that brings. As we push ourselves further
forward we find a new clarity and strength as we edge towards the Oak
lined path of the Druid, finding our way through rites of passage, and
seeing, feeling and knowing an empathy with fellow people and beings.

COMMITMENT:
This
course demands total commitment. Make sure you can attend all of the
five weekends and have the sufficient discipline to carry out the
homework between the course meetings. Without commitment this will be
nothing more than an intellectual process or at worst a social event, if
this is the case, then this course is not right for you. Those who put
the effort in, are often the ones who find a real depth to their
Druidry.
