This series of courses aims to address this question:
How do we live as spiritual beings, preserving the integrity of both ourselves and the earth, in a modern, fast-paced world?
We can only come to wholeness by living in harmonious relationship with the inner and the outer worlds. This series of courses aims to work with the seasons so that we can begin to learn the steps of the graceful dance that weaves together the sacred call of the inner voice of our hearts and the song of the Divine Source, The Great Mystery, God, Brahma, in the created world around us.
In order to discover the hidden, secret mysteries of our own inner world, we must first discover the dynamic beauty and natural process of the outer landscape – the natural world, the air we breathe, the ground we walk on, the flow of the tides and seasons of our mother, our home – the earth.
Through meditating together with the music of the Celtic harp, and exploring ‘the scriptures of nature’ in a spirit of soul friendship, we can begin to take the first steps towards living in harmony with ourselves and our world as spiritual beings in a modern culture.
Course Content:
The content and focus of each course will relate to the season in which it takes place. The Celtic harp will lead us gently into a place of stillness and peace, where the quiet voice of our hearts can be heard and understood. Also included will be spiritual wisdom from the Celtic world, hidden teachings in ancient Celtic legend and words of inspiration from sources such as The Carmina Gadelica – a collection of authentic Gaelic prayers and blessings for everyday life collected in the 19th century in the Western Isles and Highlands of Scotland. There will also be information about other sources of teaching and fellowship for those wishing to explore a Celtic spiritual path more deeply.
