Guardianship and Protection: Shamanic Practices for Partnering with Nature
Guardianship and Protection: Shamanic Practices for Partnering with Nature
Description:
In a world where disconnection and imbalance often leave us untethered, guardianship invites us to align with the forces that hold life in balance—forces of direction, space, time, and the relationships between seen and unseen realms. Across cultures, guardians have been invoked to protect sacred spaces, guide our paths, and help us orient to the present, past, and future.
This online workshop explores what it means to cultivate guardianship as a practice, drawing on ancient wisdom and contemporary insights to anchor us in deeper relationships with allies in nature and unseen forces. Through this lens, we’ll reflect on guardianship not only as a means of protection but as a reciprocal relationship that fosters balance and alignment within and around us.
In this workshop, we will:
Examine the concept of guardianship and its role in aligning with the forces of direction, space, and time.
Discover allies in nature that support energetic protection, grounding, and anchoring sacred work.
Learn practices to create and maintain sacred space, both internally and externally.
Reflect on reciprocity within guardianship, honoring the exchange between what we give and receive from the natural and unseen worlds.
This online workshop is for those seeking to deepen their understanding of sacred space, engage in intentional relationships with both seen and unseen forces, and cultivate tools to hold and protect the energy of their sacred work.
The workshop will be recorded so register, even if you can't make it live, to receive the replay.
