in person
with John Markland
march 16th - may 4th
Ever notice how the same patterns keep showing up in your life – in the people you attract, the creative blocks you face, the symbols that haunt your dreams? This 8-week journey is for artists, healers, or anyone wanting to decode the hidden language of their lives. Through ritual practices drawn from Jungian depth work, shamanic traditions, and tribal wisdom, we'll excavate the inherited patterns that shape your reality, retrieve the parts of yourself lost along the way, and learn to read the living metaphors that surround you daily. This isn't abstract spiritual philosophy – it's practical alchemy for transforming wounds into wisdom, shadows into gold, and finally understanding why certain themes, situations and people keep knocking at your door.
Each week we’ll explore different rituals, some may demystify the forces of nature around you and others may lead you to identify the truer self. You'll create ritual encounters with your ancestral inheritance – not to blame, but to understand what ghosts you're carrying that were never yours to begin with. Through shamanic journeying and archetype play, you'll meet your "core selves" – the visionary who had to hide, the wild one you lost to heartbreak, the powerful one your culture couldn't hold, the healer who has sacrificed herself for others, and the strange-beautiful creature you've judged too weird to let live. We'll learn to read the world as oracle: why that person triggered you, what that recurring dream means, how your creative blocks are initiations in disguise. The body becomes our compass, symptoms become teachers, and synchronicities become breadcrumbs leading us home. All of this will be put to practice through ancient rituals that have crossed continents, cultures and millennia but always remained true.
This workshop is for those who sense there's medicine in their madness, artists who know their wounds are portals, healers ready to now heal themselves first, and anyone who suspects their sensitivity isn't a curse but a gift waiting to be claimed. You'll leave with a personal grimoire of practices, a Jish of rituals, and most importantly – the ability to see your life as a living myth you're actively creating. We'll discover that your demons know your purpose, your ancestors hold your medicine, and the very wounds you've been trying to heal are trying to initiate you into your gifts.
Come ready to trust the intelligence of your shadows, the wisdom of your weird, and the profound sanity of finally letting yourself be exactly who you came here to be.
