No previous art training is needed. \nBring your willingness to engage\, commit & explore a variety of different processes together: \n\nstories\nart materials\nmusic\nmasks\nwords\nplayfulness\n\nYou will uncover a whole new array of your own different identities\, which weave together to unfold your extended nature and Self. You will see yourself reflected back in a surprising variety of different ways.\nActively experiencing your own connectedness forms part of the emerging New Earth consciousness\, and allows you to evolve your larger life network. \n“Awakening experiences are moments of revelation\, when we perceive reality at a heightened intensity. The world around us comes to life\, and is filled with harmony and meaning. A spirit-force seems to pervade all things – and the spaces between them – bringing everything into oneness. We experience ourselves as part of this oneness too\, and feel ecstatic or serene. At the highest intensity of awakening\, we might feel that we’ve become one with the universe\, and attain a state of complete fullness and perfection. The whole material world may dissolve away\, into an ocean of spiritual radiance.” \n \nYou can expect to cultivate these capacities through lightness and intended play: \n\nincreased inner strength and resilience\na greater ability to meet change and new/unknown circumstances\nflexibility of mind and emotional make-up\ndevelopment of personal power\ndiscovering a wholly new frequency of reality\nequanimity and inner joy\, and being in the here-and-now\nhealing can take place on many levels\, where needed\nYou will receive information and practical exercises to continue developing these faculties\n\nEvent details:\n\nCosts: R3500 per person sharing. R4100 p.p. single room occupancy. Includes food\, accommodation\, and materials.\nVenue: Hearth & Soul Eco-farm and Retreat\, near Stanford in the Overberg Mountains\nTel: 028 341 0513\nE-mail: hearth.soul@gmail.com \nFind them on Facebook\n\n \nShare this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreEmailPrintPinterestLike this:Like Loading...\n\n Related stories URL:https://thegreentimes.co.za/event/human-nature-and-the-ecstatic-an-art-and-creativity-experience/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
