Sinking into the Dark Earth! (EN)

Bogs have often been seen as portals, liminal spaces for connecting with the spirit realm. This workshop embraces the strange and murky times we are living in by providing a space to encounter the unknown and to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. The session is about exploring what comes up when we enter the dark earth and discovering creative ways to re-emerge transformed. Through a combination of guided meditations, imagination exercises, and a creative writing session, the participants will be invited to move through a state of personal and collective grief through and with the bog as our guide.
