This seven day (six night) camp will include your own 3 days/3 nights vigil (quest), perhaps working with the energy of a sacred fire. This will support you on your own personal journey, where you can learn the tools of self leadership and self actualisation.
The rest of the camp will include opening sweat lodge, teachings on shamanism, divination, wild medicine and indigenous ceremonies and there will be many opportunities connect with nature on a deep level.
This journey will support you to acknowledge, mourn, release, welcome and celebrate life transitions of any kind. It can be a deeply cathartic experience. Especially in challenging times, these ceremonies give us the opportunities to turn challenges into initiations – empowering, humbling, strengthening and enlightening us.
Your vigil will be a solo experience. Your facilitators will prepare you for this, ensure that you are safe and have everything you need.
Co-host is Leo Rutherford, our resident shamanic expert. He has been practicing for over 40 years and runs his own shamanic practice called Eagle’s Wing.
A few words from Leo: “We are now in such need of personal and planetary healing that we find more and more people are coming back to the path of shamanism, rediscovering their roots and their way back home. Shamanic practices and healing enable you to have powers over your own life and to help others. In addition to this, shamanic ways show you how to connect with all of creation.”
