When is the last time you gave sincere attention to what is guiding your heart ? If it's been awhile, it could be time to engage the old practice of spending solitary time in nature. A Medicine Walk is a simple ceremony that enlivens your belonging to the earth, connects to deep wells of wisdom, and solidifies your unique gifts ready to be shared with community.
What makes a Medicine Walk different from a regular walk in the woods is the intention you set. Ask yourself, "what's most alive for me right now"? It could be your relationship with the prevailing issues in the world, or a personal relationship. It could be undigested grief or emotions. It could be time to let go of old patterns or step into new ones. It could be that you want to be more familiar with the more-than-human wild life and place you call home. Whatever it is, this is a ripe chance to simply be with.
In the morning we will gather in ceremony to state our intentions out loud and then cross the threshold out of ordinary time and into into solitary time in nature. Alone in nature, you'll fast from food, phones, jobs, to-do's, identities, and habitual patterns. The only aim is to be with nature and your intention. It is a sacred time to be with the wisdom revealed when inner nature meets outer nature. Upon your return, we will break fast together with a shared potluck meal. Then your story from the land will be witnessed by our circle of women through The Way of Council, and mirrored by your guide as a way to amplify your story.
