INTRODUCTION TO MAKING SACRED ART WORKSHOP IN LONDON

Friday 21 - Saturday 22 January 2022, non-residential

This workshop introduces the Medieval concept of a Human Life as a Pilgrimage. We work with the glyph of a labyrinth representing our ‘umbilical cord to Source/Spirit’ laid out in spiral form in the room. We start unraveling personal myths and weaving healing stories with the help of great gods and goddesses. We meet ‘The Woman Who Repairs Stories’. We start engaging with the concept of ‘The Leavings of the Wolf’ (and the teachings of the Norse God Tyr): i.e. the understanding of personal sacrifice in return for knowledge and spiritual strength. We start mapping where we have given power away and we start moving from the concept of the ‘scapegoat’ to making a ‘shape coat’: a personal medicine cloak of personal symbols that reflects our learning journey through life and our soul’s mission. We make sacred art in honour of something greater than ourselves and beings other than ourselves.

Course  Description

Pandemic Disclaimer

"This was my first experience of being taught by Imelda. It was rich, nourishing, inspiring and profound. Imelda created a beautiful physical space, a safe emotional container and lifted the veil to allow us to explore beyond this reality. There were so many techniques and experiences packed into two days, but at no point did the work feel rushed. I would recommend Imelda as a teacher and this workshop to anyone wishing to embark on or deepen their journey into Shamanic practices."

- Helen Payne, Wales 2018

 The 2-day Introduction to Making Sacred Art course was my first experience of being taught by Imelda. Having heard and read so much about her, she did not disappoint. My anxieties of not being "an artist" were soon laid to rest. Imelda holds a safe space for all on a physical, emotional and spiritual level whatever your previous experience. These two days took my Shamanic journeying to a deeper level, journeys within journeys unfolding and unfurling as the art is created. We were taught so much in such a short time, leaving me hungry for more. If you get the opportunity to work with Imelda grab it with both hands you won't look back!

 HONOURING OUR ANCESTORS THROUGH OUR ART!

Tuesday 10 November at 7 pm, UK Winter Time (please adjust for local time!)

The class will be recorded and the recording will remain available to those who register!

In our upcoming November on-line sacred art class we will explore how we can connect with our ancestors and use various forms of creative expression to honour them. I will introduce the Old Norse custom of the Álfablót and Dísablót (dedicated )offering ceremonies to the ancestors and also introduce some key principles from the field of Ancestral Healing work.

Please consider joining us! And if you do, your ancestors will be joining us too!
(This class is also a good starting point for people who wish to explore Seidr)

THE BONE MOTHER

Tuesday 1 December at 7 pm, UK Winter Time (please adjust for local time!)

The class will be recorded and the recording will remain available to those who register.

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 (see the FREE welcome webinar!) 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...

 THE WILD HUNT

Tuesday 12 January 2021 at 7 pm, UK Winter Time (please adjust for local time!)

The class will be recorded and the recording will remain available to those who register.

This class has been created due to popular demand, because so many people have asked me to explain what The Wild Hunt is and create an on-line class for pandemic times, introducing this extremely important work at a time of no travel and no on-line gatherings. In the Northern and Germanic traditions of Old Europe, The Wild Hunt took place in the Autumn and Wintertime. Great soul conductors collected the souls of the dead (who had not crossed over) and also cleared the air space of old/stuck energies and thoughts forms that served no more, creating spiritual (and physical) space for a new year and new beginnings!

 SACRED ART: A HOLLOW BONE FOR SPIRIT

"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"

Please note that my second book makes 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!

This book 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.

The greatest piece of art we will ever make is our own life!

If you complete all chapter activities, you will have an art portfolio by the time you finish reading this book!

SACRED ART RETREAT 

"Changing the Weave & Working with the Norns"

Ran in December 2019, not currently scheduled

In this sacred art retreat we will develop a personal relationship with the Norns (or Norse "Fates") and work with the threads of fate and destiny. The red thread of spiritual enquiry running through this retreat is: is it possible to Change the Weave, to alter our personal destiny and the destiny of other people, through shamanic work?! 

The prerequisite is having completed the 2 day introduction to sacred art course! This course is non-residential and you remain responsible for your own meals (plenty of shops and cafes just around the corner!) and accommodation
