Self Reclamation: The Living Altar
We begin building an altar of our energy bodies in the wildest part of our being. This journey is about cultivating relationship with the self as something alive and responsive. The altar is not symbolic or fixed. It moves, shifts, and answers back. What emerges here comes from listening to the energy body in its wild state, and following what calls from beyond reason or plan.
Self Reclamation: Samhain
We're going to be riding the gates of Samhain, thinning the veils of our own decomposing stories and laying out a plate for our nearly dead parts. We're going to be making sacred ground from the dark loam of our lives, at this time of the year when stories soften and identities loosen. The turning here is quiet and preparatory, shaped by what is laid down and what is allowed to rest as the year shifts toward winter.
Self Reclamation: Sitting In
This journey is built around attention and patience. Drawing from older, earth based practices, it turns the act of Sitting-Out inward, moving slowly through sensation, detail, and presence. Exiled parts aren’t summoned or analyzed. They are given time to notice that they are being listened to. Reclamation unfolds through continuity, through staying with what’s here long enough for relationship to form, shaped by land, ritual, and remembered ways of keeping watch.
Inner Territory Journey: Samhain
We float down a river to a doorway of connection, a place to commune with your own intuition and soul’s wisdom, choosing whether to open the door for our beloved dead to join us at a feast of remembrance and communion. We wait and see who comes to sit, what blessings or advice they might bring, bearing witness to the long story of our souls woven with the lives of so many other souls. There is an invitation to reclaim our joy, our imagination, and our wild nature around the bonfire of our souls.
