Connecting with the Earth
in an Ancient Rainforest
We will explore the spirit of the land including her soils and how the roots of things connect with everything and provide balance. This experience is about the Great Mystery and highlights the role of the “Warrior” and that of courage as we explore the choice making required for our meaning and purpose.
This expedition places us in the presence of Great Mother Trees deep within an interior rainforest. Much of what exists within this lush forest floor and beneath these ancient cedars still remains a mystery to science. This expedition explores the ecosystem that lives within the interior rainforest and follows along a rivers edge all the way to its source. The rainforest is sacred to ancient cultures and we will explore the stories, food, medicine and the spirit that this forest provides.
This two day expedition explores the sentient world of the rainforest as we connect with layers of Earth energies including Ley Lines and natural energy points or “portals”. We will explore certain mysterious inhabitants that dwell within the deepest part of this forest including the Sidhe, and the Sasquatch. This place is rich in biodiversity as the influence of animals, birds and other beings make connections with us as we develop our relationship with the wild.
Our work includes seed gathering from Mother Trees and certain gatekeeper species as we restore Wild Ginger and Devils Club in the forest along with restoring and rewilding footpaths.
