earthFIRE Outside – retreat
Friday, March 19 to Monday, March 22
@ Spirit Wind, 90 mins north west from Sydney (past Windsor near Wiseman’s Ferry)
A fire-circle held in sacred space
…where everyone’s energy, focus and inspiration come together as one
…a place to play and co-create together
…a chance for the soul to commune at the deepest levels
…a polyrhythmic mandala meditation honouring the earth
…a celebration of community
We come together to experience the primal beauty of a fire circle, to witness, drum, dance, chant and serve as we are drawn. Here we can let go of the every day world and be ourselves, have fun, connect with others, share, learn and grow.
Midnight to dawn fire circles will happen on Saturday and Sunday nights. This earthFIRE will focus on connecting to our ‘inner truth’, going within and allowing our truth to guide us. We will explore our truth through the pathways of music, movement, voice and nurturance.
The fire is a microcosm of the macrocosm. What we learn around the fire we can take with us into our everyday lives. To support us with this, a meditation space will be offered on the Sunday where those who wish to, can explore this more deeply. Crystal bowls will hold the space and people will be supported to create a mandala of intention.
At the gathering we are also offering a new circle within the circle…early Sunday evening there will be a ‘soul expression circle’ where people will be able to share their talents, be they poems, music, artwork, fire twirling or the like…
There will also be plenty of time to enjoy Spirit Wind, the Hawkesbury River and have a chance to play some more with the drum, our voices and other arts.
The early bird registration is $140 for adults ($90 concession) and closes February 28. Children rates can be found on the website. The costs include camping fees and two meals per day. You can register online at www.earthfireaustralia.org
We seek to create a sacred space. This may be a new space for some, for others it feels like coming home. In order to connect deeply and honour our highest vision, our gatherings are alcohol and drug free.
