THE BONE MOTHER
In this class we will connect with the ancient wisdom teachings of The Bone Mother. We will learn how the twin processes of Creation and Destruction operate in our lives and how Winter is a time for reflection, hibernation and releasing all that serves no more. The Bone Mother is one of the manifestations of The Pregnant Hag (please check out my FREE welcome webinar titled Meet The Pregnant Hag!) and her great secret is that if we surrender willingly to the process of letting go - She (and Life) will treat us less harshly when our dark nights of the soul occur...
Please note that my second book is a great companion and handbook for people taking my sacred art classes! This is because I explain things in more detail (than webinars allow) and every chapter ends with a thought-provoking (even mind-bending) activity!
My (second) book Sacred Art – A Hollow Bone for Spirit (Where Art Meets Shamanism) tells the story of Sacred Art across cultures, continents and historical periods and makes a plea for sacred art to once again take its rightful place in our perception.
Making Sacred Art means stepping outside the realm of ego-led consciousness to become a hollow bone for spirit, so art becomes as mystery school process. When we connect to Divine forces greater than ourselves, creative blocks do not exist and healing occurs naturally.
If you complete all chapter activities, you will have an art portfolio by the time you finish reading this book!
The greatest piece of art we will ever make is our own life!
