A communal gathering of spiritual and creative practice rooted in the Earth & timed with the season.
18 – 23 rd September in Casa del Agua, Parque Natural de Sierra Nevada, Spain.
With Katharina Louise.
When day and night meet each other equally, we are inviting you to come together in circle, in the magical mountains of Andalusia.
To breathe and give thanks, to feed the web of reciprocity together.
In the animist era of Europe, the fall equinox, today known by some as mabon (son of the mother: modron, earth), was the moment to cebrate the harvest, to offer part of it back (disenblot). In german “erntedankfest” was equal to “world preservation celebration” because the necessity of reciprocity was deeply ingrained in communal life, it was believed that if part of what we received through the land, was not offered back, the world would come out of balance.
So here we are, putting ourselves on those unbalanced scales, with the fuerza of our hearts. in times of global turmoil, we want to offer recipes of communal simplicity that hum of old magic: building altars for beings who visit the land of beloved Casa del Agua, greeting the sun on the hill at dawn, washing our faces in the pure waters of Rio Andarax, natural dying with local plants and talisman crafting, praying with the fire, divining with apples, working with wild clay, calling in our lineages and honouring food as medicine and reflecting on the abundance and harvest of experiences we gathered throughout the summer. we are calling you to immerse in the rhythm of the seasons with us, to harvest, integrate, make art with the elements and remember the ways of reciprocity together.
