The Apple Garden of Avalon
AN INTRODUCTION TO CELTIC SHAMANISM
This workshop draws on Welsh and Irish Shamanic traditions of imagination and prayer and look at their application in healing ourselves and the world. We will explore the experience the Celts called the Many Coloured Land, learn how to journey there and how to acquire allies who can deepen our understanding and knowing.
Particular foci will be considering our relationship to ancestors and the genius loci or spirit of place and the importance of bringing these principles into our work.
We will work with an Irish text called the Three Cauldrons which unites body heart and spirit and learn an art of shamanic prayer which we will apply to our lives and our client work.
We will also contemplate a Welsh poem called Prieddeu Annwn or The Raid on the Deep which describes a raid Arthur and his men make on the Otherworld to gain the Cauldron of inspiration and rebirth and is a summary and condensation of this ancient spiritual tradition.
This workshop aims to give an experiential understanding of the basic principles of this way and provide a foundation for further work.
