Otherworld Portals Retreat is a dreaming adventure in collaboration with the community of beings, and more than human relatives we share in this world and the other world.
We enter the world of dreams when the Veil thins and the Otherworld is near. The Ancestors are dreaming of us to be remembered, to come close, to hear their voices and to share their bone wisdom that lives within us. We are the dreams of our Ancestors, and from their side of the Otherside, they have the long vision and can see beyond. We need this wisdom now, in the midst of great changes, the ancestors can guide us through, and show us what is ours to do.
We set intentions with dream incubation to invite our more than human relatives into dreaming as helpful guides to the Otherside,
and call upon our ancestors to join us in dreaming for the purpose of healing, guidance, resolution, and gratitude. We cultivate our dreams by opening portals to the Otherworld and honoring them with our presence and intentions to come in a good way, and do no harm, leaving offerings on the collaborative altar, we anchor our intentions and feed our ancestral connections, in a safe and sacred way. Where our dreams can be seen and heard in ways that honor both the dream and the dreamer. The ancestors are dreaming with and on our behalf, and when we collaborate with them, we become more of our story, and claim more of our soul journey of what is ours to do, leaving behind the traumas and patterns that are no longer ours to carry.
This journey is about freedom and healing, responsibility and reciprocity. What you seek is also seeking you, and your greater story is seeking you.
During this retreat, we craft creative exploration with dream inspired collage under the wise guidance of Hagroot. We explore the power of image, and collect dreams with collage to immerse our selves deeper into the dreams and stories coming through.
We visit liminal boundaries of waking and dreaming with Stephanie St, John who brings Yoga Nidra as a practice of rest, to enter into the waking dream each morning.
We embody the elements of dreaming with Earth, Air, Fire, and Water in connection with conscious group dream journeys guided by the drum to connect with animal allies, and spirits of the land, for the purpose of grounding our dreams and rooting our intentions in place. We share dreams together in a safe and sacred space and devise creative ways to bring forth the otherworld in magical and meaningful ways.
We learn how to connect to the deeper dream rooted in the Tree of Life and Earth based Wisdom. We navigate non-ordinary reality in connection with animal guardians and ancestral spirits guided by our intentions for wisdom and healing.
We create a collective dreaming altar with the elements of air, earth, water and fire. We call upon our ancestor spirits, and more than human relatives to guide us into a deeper reality, where the world behind the world is a portal we can enter to bring balance between the worlds of the living and the departed.
