Communicating and Co-creating with The World of Nature Spirits and Elementals – A Workshop with Susan Raven

The weekend of  7th – 9th June 2019, at Urdd Centre, Pentre Ifan, Pembrokeshire, SA41 3XE

The Nature Spirits are waiting to be reunited with us, and as emissaries of higher spiritual beings, they wish to be of great assistance to us at this time, but we have to step into their world and meet them in their own territory. It is time to engage in dialogue and relearn a living world wisdom from the elemental kingdom.

How do we contact them? How do we learn from them? How do we enter the dream-time of  their world? How do we interpret the sensations we experience with them? And how do we begin to co-create with them?

At this gathering in the beautiful environs of Pentre Ifan we will be exploring the methods used for seership and communication prescribed by the philosopher, scientist and seer, Rudolf Steiner. We will be focusing on ways in which we can build a line of communication with the nature spirits, in order that we may receive information and insight into their world. By working together with the elementals – which reside in earth, water, air and fire – we can become responsible co-creators at this critical time in our evolution.

In this workshop Susan will be describing the activities of the nature spirits in the landscape, in plants and in the human being. We will be looking at ways in which we can effectively help these generous inhabitants of the supersensible realm for the ultimate benefit of us all.

Susan Raven is a long time student of Anthroposophy and has worked with the methods and exercises prescribed by Rudolf Steiner for seeing into the supersensible realms. She has also trained with Dorian Schmidt, director of the Biodynamic Research Institute. Susan is author of the book; Nature Spirits: The Remembrance: A guide to the Elemental Kingdom
