Mystery Tour
by Roland
I was lying in bed early in the
morning having been woken by the song of
a very tuneful but rather loud thrush. As I turned
over to go back to sleep I found myself musing on what a friend – well Ya’Acov
actually – had written to me the day before.
He had described a dream in which he had arrived in a new port and
received a school report on his progress as a human being. more> |
You know something!
 By Susannah
At the most recent Pacha
Mama day I ran with Chris Salisbury, something happened which felt like a
simple and potent mirror of the challenge and possibility of this moment in
time. Somewhere In the middle of a deep and
emotional process, someone said: “I smell burning”. “Its OK” I said, “I think
it’s a kamikaze fly”. Then I smelt it too, and it didn’t smell like roast fly.
So I checked, and found that the collage of the ‘Tree of Life’ which was on the
alter had fallen onto the candle in front of it. more> |
The Never Ending Dance
by Ya'Acov
I love to travel and it’s a
good job that I do! I’ve certainly clocked up the train hours this year
visiting Warsaw, Prague, Switzerland twice, Belgium four times, Paris, Padova, and Manchester! And on my journeys, I have written, and listened to
music, fiddled with my guitar, studied and read and from time to time, just
watched the world dancing past me. more> |
To those "Litlle Things"
 This month's winner of £100 School of Movement Medicine workshop voucher
by Francesco Ceccherini
It's Monday. I'm back from
an intense 4 days of dancing : 1 day "Ascension" in Bern and 3 days "Source" in Luzern.
Didn't sleep well last
night. Back home, my body was in my bedroom but my soul and spirit weren't.
Still travelling somewhere up. Above. Difficult to be one again. A whole
holistic person. more> |
The Goddess of Small Things
By Ali Young
This May I attended the second “Be the Change”
symposium, run by Sussannah and Chris Salisbury of WildWise. The work
originated with the Achua shamans in the jungles of Peru
and Equador. A people who still live
within the Dreamtime they were disturbed by visions of impending destruction which they said would be wrought
by what they call “The Dream of the North”.
Sending out a call for help, they
were responded to by, amongst others, Barry and Lynne Twist, with whom they formed
the Pachamama Alliance. more> |
My biggest Fear … Never to Dance Again
 By Gert Daniels
I was locked up in a psychiatric
institution for half a year, my darkest nightmare...
And at the same time i was locked up
in a wheelchair for 2 months…
I broke my foot (caused by to much
medication) and had a plaster cast round my leg…
My greatest fear : not to be able to
dance anymore… more> |
Ritual – an elemental journey
By Jasper Drent
Being part of the
Ritual Circle is a wonderful experience. I like the cyclical nature of it. We
keep coming back to the land upon which we work, dance and play keeps and
witness it’s changes. From the falling autumn leaves and rains, to the winter
cold with a tinge of snow upon the highest hills, into the clearest blue skies
of spring with the leaves almost bursting. more> |
Letter to Ritual Group
By Vanessa
Dear All of You,
Today I felt you all so
nearby. It inspired me to try and put into words what Ritual has brought me.
Here is what I would write about it today. It is true all other days, but I am
aware of the elements I leave out. I try to describe the overall tendency.
Thank you for reading this, it touches me deeply to be allowed to share on this
level. more> |
Ritual
by Almut
After two weeks
of non-stop work I felt really mentally and physically exhausted today. I spent
the day with myself and did Ya'Acov’s dance meditation and SEER process. What a
bliss! And how wonderful to have a tool now I can apply when ever I need it. I
feel much better now- I have arrived in my body again. more> |
