Sometime ago, when I had enquired about the next step of my work, I was guided to contribute to and work with young adults. Although our workshops have no age bar, I didn’t know how to specifically reach out to this age group.
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited by Rotary Club to hold a drum circle and fire ceremony for 100 plus young adults.
The theme of the 3 days event was “Creating Future Leaders.”
This two hour event marked the beginning for me at Shamanic Vision to plant seeds in young fertile minds.
After opening up sacred space, we spoke about and discussed Mother Earth and how we are exploiting the earth. We spoke about reciprocity, partnership and gratitude to Mother Earth for providing for us.
We spoke about nature, different elements and their contribution to us.
We discussed how our body is made up of these 5 elements and what role each element plays physically and spiritually.
We also drummed to recognising our true nature and briefly talked about how our authenticity gets masked by social, cultural and religious conditioning.
We did another round of drum circle with the prayer to Divinity to help us recognise and BE who we truly are.
After that we had a beautiful fire ceremony. We wrote on a piece of paper all negative dysfunctional beliefs we need to release and surrendered that to the spirit of the fire.
And we drummed, sang, chanted and rattled to this process of letting go.
We then wrote on another piece of paper that which we need to manifest in our lives. We surrendered this piece of paper to fire too.
Fire destroys. Fire births. Fire transforms.
We concluded the session with expressing gratitude to the spirit of the land that held us and all the organisers who put together this beautiful event.
