The Cosmic Dance of Sacred Feminine and Masculine

This class follows on from from our September Class "The Heart of the Creative Process" (but can be attended on its own!) Where before we explored creativity in the realm of human consciousness, we now journey into the heart of Creation. Once Before Time (before Time existed as a cosmic organising dimension) there was a primordial Divine Consciousness that conceived of a desire for "something other than itself". This primordial Essence split and duality came into being: self and other, me and not-me. All sentient beings arose from this process and a Divine flame ensouls them. However because of th split into me and not-me we all have primal desire to re-unite with our other part/missing part. Some call this a soul mate. Personally I think of the "other" as all of Creation outside me.

If we do not understand this cosmic process, of creating and evolving through duality, we can became over-identified with our human identity as male or female and we can become stuck. To shift our way to the next level of consciousness we need to learn how to dance creatively with all aspects of ourselves. Carl Jung spoke of anima and animus. As shamanic teachers we sometimes work with a hieros gamos or sacred marriage of opposites. This can be done through art, music, dance, writing and in many other ways. In this class we focus on art and this work will continue right through the 2 year sacred art practitioner training.

Please note: though this class is aimed at people who will attend this training, this class is open to anyone who wishes to attend.
