Rooted in the Dark

A Meeting with the Black Madonna: Sacred depth & stillness as the fertile soil of our being & doing

From birth we are taught to fear darkness and we learn to distrust the dark mother. We fear descent and we flee the night leading to a planetary epidemic of burn-out and over-consumption. This is a reclaiming of the part of us that nourishes our roots and that keeps us sane - a celebration of darkness.

This is a deep dive to unearth your hidden treasures, a nourishing and fertilising of your inner soil

This workshop is an exploration of the inner and outer mythos surrounding darkness and light that move us into thought and into action. A journey into the vulnerable, real and beautifully human parts of our being with the intention to deeply value and acknowledge the golden nuggets that some of the more challenging episodes of our life time have brought to our being.

Darkness and stillness are necessary components of any process of growth. By eradicating darkness, we have lost our depth of being and we have taken ourselves out of circularity, we have lost the intrinsic ecology of our being.

We relearn to appreciate stillness and to invite in the darkness as an ally on our path. The fertile space of the cosmic womb where we enter into the realm of infinite possibilities.

By consciously integrating darkness into our practices and the organisation of our life and creative processes, we create depth of being, we are able to show up authentically and our creations become energetically richer and more powerful, interesting and innovative.
