September 19th: Ash Tree Spirit Medicine – The Sacred Pause
The Tree Spirit Medicine of Ash is the Sacred Pause.
The sacred pause is a temporary cessation of inner or outer movement towards any goal or outcome. It provides the necessary respite after periods of expanded growth and learning for reflection and integration, when the path ahead is unclear, or when we feel overwhelmed and confused about what to do or how to be. The sacred pause creates a space of inner quietude and expanded awareness in which to rest until we are ready and able to move forward once more. Within the sacred pause is the potential for something new to emerge, to be known, felt, sensed, opened to, and created, as well as the release from entrenched patterns of reaction, resistance, and response. Through the Tree Spirit Medicine of Ash, the sacred pause can be accessed whenever needed so that inspiration, inner-knowing, and right-action arise naturally in their own perfect timing.
In this workshop you will directly receive Ash’s spirit medicine, wisdom, guidance and whatever else it wishes to share with you. Once you have received Ash’s Tree Spirit Medicine of The Sacred Pause, it will be with you always whenever you need it.
Location: You can attend this workshop either in person at Living Earth School of Herbalism in Maple, Ontario, or through Zoom.
Date: Saturday, September 19th, 10:30 – 5 pm.
