The Heart of It All
A Co-creation and Communion with Earth
17th -23rd April, 2019
The Northern Lands of Portugal
What does it take to create Heaven on Earth?
Our immediate response is ...You.
Really. You.
The pulsing heart of You.
The gently waking, wildly gushing all of You.
This bio-dynamically farmed land near Guarda, is lived with, worked with, played with
and dreamt with.
This land, Dominio Vale do Mondego, is the calling card to what may be
a whole new knowing of You.
It has called us and we are calling
You.
Imagine this...
...a six day long communion with Earth and your body. ..through sound weaving, forging and crafting, through energetic processes, through expanding our gaze and stretching our bodies we will be exploring the wider lands and spaces. Through opening out and inviting a centre from which everything springs forth to nourish us we will travel to and be present with the often not met places of your own golden source pool.
Through knowing this 'home space' it becomes more possible to find it anywhere.
What we know is that this green blue red earth is truly golden...
We know this because we can perceive it. If you can perceive something you can have it!
If you'd like to flourish, to nourish, to be nourished and to flow with your body and your choices... have the aliveness and presence with living and dying and everything in between that really allows your awareness to expand and your life to become more like a living dance, a song or prayer of joy for the whole spectrum and more, then we totally and whole heartedly welcome you to play with us in this gorgeous place of restoration, inspiration and wondrous possibilties.
Would you like to
- Develop a new relationship with your own body and the Earth?
- Learn and deepen your sensing and tracking of the language of energy?
- Receive from, engage and create with the elements and elementals – creating and inviting
totally new possibilities for your future and that of the Earth?
- Allow a new paradigm of being on and with this planet to emerge?
- Deepen, shift and open your perception and perspective?
- Know yourself as a co-creator with the elements – crafting and forging a copper sound instrument in communion with the metal, the Earth and the elements?
- Experience and learn to use sound and sound weaving as an incredibly powerful tool for transformation and creation?
- Bring fluidity to what has been stagnant?
- Step into being a powerful change agent and a delight full contribution to the planet?
- Find that living with the Earth as a co-creator asks you to have more fun than you usually allow yourself?

And what will we be co-creating as Sound Alchemists?
It's copper that has come forward to be the shaper and to be shaped during these days ... copper... soft, warm, communicative and rich with the connection to the deeper parts of ourselves and each other. We find copper opens up immense communication with the mountains and the seas of the wider earth.
We have found copper facilitates the meeting of our own Heart and the Earth.
Can you sense the gift of crafting a copper vessel in co-creation with the elements and then receiving ... drinking some of the wine made on that very land from the bowl you have forged...does that bring a new energetic to what communion might really be about?
What did those people of these grape growing lands know about the sun, the plants, the roots, the rivers ... their celtic forefathers and mothers? What do we bring towards them and what can be received and gifted through our celebration and being?
We've been touched and taken into new places within ourselves through the attunement with this workshop and retreat...The invitation we are perceiving is one that asks - would we be willing to have the Earth be the acknowledged co-facilitator?
We're excited and you're invited to come into a greater communion with all of the forces of Earth and Cosmos.
What will you take away from these days and nights? Well that's really up to you. We are opening the lid on vast treasure chest and share it with you! These are the tools from which we craft our living . . . the software and the hardware!
Living with greater ease and possibiilties. More than a glimpse of magical possibilities and tools that expand awareness and perception as well as open up your own doorways of knowing who you are and where you shine - like the sun...? like a diamond...? like a crystal brought forward from the depths of the earth?
You will have a beautiful hand forged singing bowl or bell that you forged yourself ... an instrument that may ring out into the rest of your days...and beyond... or call you into the spaces of your own knowing of the heart from which it was gifted...
You will have tasted and lived with the kind of wonder and beauty and magic that has always been there for the choosing and will carry onwards to give you sustenance and new ways of being the creator in your of your own life...
This adventure into living as and with the earth will open the doors to a feast of riches. Through the six days and nights you will be offered a vast range of life enhancing tools and embodied experiences that you will always have access to following the retreat days. We describe these as our software and the hammers as our hardware. Through bringing them all together we offer you a whole kit bag of tools for greater conscious embodiment as you become more and more aware of the acoustical body and being you were born as. Sometimes it only takes reminding of what your body knows by giving it the space where other energies can slough off... this is one of the gifts of creating communion with your body and the Earth.
What energies are required to allow and invite all elements to contribute and co-create harmony
with the whole?
Here is some of what we received when we tuned in with the energies of this workshop...

Gaia Calls ...of copper rich and iron poor through blue green lakes an open door to water, fire, the air, a view... of daughters Gaia's songs renew... To Earth has come a deep deep din when war was waged by name of sin... On Earth restore a wholly song with woven chords and silken throng... |

Copper stepped forward to conduct and to connect ... a communion ... allowing our bodies to vibrate as and with the body of Earth a land of rugged beauty... enlivening an oasis where the mother can open her eyes and smile our trails can create this energy... if we invite it. ask for it be it soften open allow.. where human reality is congruent with Nature be the vibrational reality where the mother can open her eyes and smile |
