Spirit Animal Day Retreat

You are warmly invited to join Helen Courtney of Soulful Woman Rising and Anna Mitchell of Creative Clay, for a bespoke Retreat Day, that encourages you to venture into the realm of spirit animals. By combining nature’s medicines of cacao and clay, Helen and Anna will support you through guided practices that support/ deepen your relationship with yourself and the spirit realms.

Helen and Anna both love to work with the cycles of the seasons and are inspired by nature and walking in their local landscapes. Helen creates a safe space that encourages a genuine connection with your spirit animal guides. By understanding their medicine, you will discover how they can assist you on your ascension path. Anna encourages participants to let go of any creative inhibitions and work intuitively with the clay, so that the animal guide can manifest into physical form.

During a guided cacao journey with myself, you will journey to the Lower Realm to meet your Spirit Animal. From here, you will journey together to the White Light Temple in the Upper Realm, where a Purification and Activation Ceremony will take place. 

The Purification Ceremony is intended to liberate you from the facets of your False Self. This aspect of you has been conditioned to think, feel or behave from an underlying sense of fear. This may be fear of judgment, rejection, of not being enough or being too much, of being a failure, being too successful, being alone or abandoned. These unrecognised fears influence how you live and experience life.

Do you feel right now that you are living to your full potential? Are you fulfilled? 

The Activation Ceremony supports the return of your True essence. This aspect of you has always been present within you, but has been locked away by the fears of your False self. This activation using codes of light, is the key to embodying your authentic power, potential and gifts.

Are you yearning to live more authentically and freely?

You will be gently guided by Anna to bring your Spirit Animal into physical form. This practice is for those new to working with clay, as well as those who have worked with this medium before. Under the expert care of Anna, any apprehensions you may have about ‘not being creative’ will soon dissolve. Thats the magic of sacred circle; as there’s no place for judgement only encouragement and acceptance.

Your clay Spirit Animal will be taken home by Anna to fire. Once retuned to you, you may choose to use this as a mediation tool, altar figure or an ornament in your home. Guidance will be provided in relation with how you can work with your clay animal as a Shamanic Tool.
