Mens Retreat - Womb, Tomb and Phoenix

BROTHERS COMMUNITY GATHERING: WOMB, TOMB and PHOENIX

with Pachapapa - Keef Wesolowki-Miles (Bridging Worlds - Terra Mirim UK) @ GROWAN (HEREFORD)

Saturday 12th -  Sunday 13th September 2020

COMMUNITY - CABANA (SWEAT LODGE) - MOVEMENT MEDICINE - CACAO - RAPÉ - SANANAGA - KAMBO

A deep dive into embodied brotherhood through the medicine of community.

We will gather together on the land and circle around the sacred fire. We will commune: body, heart, mind and spirit. We will work together, play together, sing, dance and pray together. We will eat together, listen, speak and be in silence together. We will commune with the medicines of movement, collaboration, ceremony and sharing. We will get raw, roar, remember our strength as a circle and bridge our courage and vulnerability.

WE WILL ALLOW THE THEME THIS MONTH TO GUIDE US AS WE CONTEMPLATE LIFE, DEATH AND REBIRTH.

What in our life is ready to die? What in our life is waiting to be born?

Accommodation: Camping (own tent or large communal Bell Tents).  Vegetarian\vegan food and all the medicine is included.
