Foundation Workshop in Practicing Animism
Foundation workshop in Practicing Animism
This one day workshop is an introduction to the year long course in practicing animism and is held at different locations throughout the year. Scroll down to read more about it and for updated info on the latest planned workshops.
What’s it about
Animism is the embodied practice of living with a deep awareness of the spirit in all beings. A recognition that we are all interconnected in the web of life and can communicate together, both physically and spiritually.
Practicing animism is about reclaiming our animal self and learning to connect with our spirit self, as one integrated being. It’s about learning to communicate and live together with our other-than-human and spirit kin from a place of deep connection.
The great disconnect of our times is this sense of separation from our other-than-human kin and from the very land herself. Reconnecting with our spirit self and with the spirits within the natural world, via learning the language of spirit communication, is both deeply healing and a political act.
We need to come home to who we really are, to heal the hurt of the centuries of disconnect and all the trauma that has come from this. This introductory workshop aims to help us to do this - to come home to who we really are.

What’s Involved
The focus of the workshop is on developing awareness of spirit, particularly connecting with the spirit of our more-than-human kin.
Activities include connecting with and embodying your animal self, practices to deepen your intuitive knowledge & inner guidance, and to bring awareness of the presence of nature spirits, shamanic journeying and connecting with nature spirits.
Connection with the other human beings on the workshop forms a strong component and there are group activities involved, helping to ground you in your animal self.
Who is it for?
The workshop is open to everyone, regardless of experience of spirit connection or shamanic journeying, as it forms an introduction to all my other courses. However, the workshop is unsuitable if you are currently suffering from severe mental disturbances or acute depression. If in doubt do email me or book a free half hour appointment to discuss.
It would suit you if:
You are curious about spirit and spirit connection
You find peace in nature and want to deepen connection with more-than-human beings
You are open to and accept that you may be challenged on the workshop
You are exploring spirituality
You love nature and are comfortable spending time outdoors
You are comfortable spending time alone
You are willing to work together in a group
It wouldn’t suit you if:
You struggle with the concept of spirit and/or spirit connection
You struggle to spend time in nature
You are looking for training rather than a spiritual development workshop
You aren’t willing to challenge yourself or be challenged
You would feel challenged by walking in a river barefoot or using a compost toilet
You aren’t feeling open to group activities
