Through the Portal: Engaging with the Seven Directions and Five Elements

As we dance through life, we constantly weave between the Seven Directions, whether we are conscious of this or not. Developing a deep, personal relationship with them (East, South, West, North, Below, Above, Center) is an invaluable resource providing guidance and insight through life's challenges and joys.

Each Direction is inherently linked to a Foundational Element (Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Ether). Any serious inquiry into the Directions, must include an exploration of these Elements as well. A relationship with and understanding of the Directions and Elements is a fundamental requirement of any magical and alchemical work.

While traditions around the world assign different attributes to each, having your own intimate knowledge of the Directions and Elements is most effective and potent. The point of the workshop is to deepen and amplify your personal relationship with the Directions and Elements, giving you an incredible source of guidance and wisdom.

Each day we focus on a particular Direction/Element. We work with a corresponding Plant Spirit to support our exploration through activities and ceremonies to enhance your discovery of and strengthen your relationship with that Direction/Element. The ceremonies and techniques we utilize are incredibly impactful and worthwhile skills to have on their own.
