THE ELEMENTAL NATURE OF RITUAL
Staff retreat workshops

Explore the many ways that symbols and signals from the natural word have, and continue to be, an important way to share story, create ritual and develop a connection with nature, self and community.

Session Overview

A series of practical activities invite participants to engage their heads, hearts and hands in this reflective, engaging and energising workshop. We explore the work of mystics and philosophers who found their truth in nature and how a 'change of heart, a change of habit, and a change to the way we pay attention to the world around us,' (Pope Francis) manifests in our daily habits. Labyrinths, mandalas, clay work, the magic of fire and earth's treasures are some of the materials and tools we use with intention and purpose.

​

A student version of this workshop is also available.

I respectfully acknowledge the Kaurna people who are the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work and pay my respects to  Elders, past, present and emerging.

I would also like to recognise the traditional peoples of this continent, whose land was stolen nearly 250 years ago. I am inspired by the traditions of learning on land, learning through story and working with community to give back to this country that we all call home. This land was and always will be the land of the First Nations People.
