EXCITING: Geomantic
Sculpturing Seminar WEEKEND! - Madoc, Ontario
August 31 - September 2
August 2nd: We do have the minimum 25 people. Must
receive Deposit checks by August 22nd.
When Alan Reed gave us a smashing presentation November 2001, he talked about inviting us to his cave in Madoc to explore the energies of his cave and to be steeped in earth wisdoms.
The details are in the chart below. In speaking with Alan about this weekend, his description was reverential. I will try to convey some of the mood here:
"Everyone who comes up there gets a healing. The fireflies are going off like stars twinkling in the skies. You will see and hear all kinds of wild birds in the wetlands, the whippoorwill, finches, song sparrows, you see otter tracks, ... you can see the crayfish in the water at night. They don't come out in the daytime because then they would get caught by cranes or otters. There's a big cat up there, perhaps a lynx. .... You won't go hungry, you'll learn a lot about healthy food. It will be mostly vegetarian because of the conditions up there. You'll have smoothies, new alternatives, a balance of yin and yang, kefir, kombucha and spirulina as well as food by my friend the master pie baker.
In dowsing, there is a posture etiquette that ought to be learned and we will show you how to do this with the rods. We will have the [beeswax] candles all over the cave. It creates a mystical effect like being in a monastery. You walk in to the cave individually, you walk around a bit by yourself, in to the back of the cave as if going back in to the womb. You appreciate the mystery.
A peace cairn (we will find out how to make these) will be raised in the center of the labyrinth. ... There are big trees on the land and Alan will provide us with information about the medicinal value of trees. We will also get to do some wild crafting ---- recognizing wild plants to use in our salads. We will have a bonfire at night in the cave. ... If the weather is inclement, there is a lot of room in the cave, and we will also have a tent.
As this is our first weekend seminar with Alan, he is offering us a
low price of $125 per person (plus food, if desired, see below).
You will be experiencing, learning and changing on many different levels,
learning skills which will be very important on our changing planet.
