Sacred spaces can take many forms. We are familiar with places such as Stonehenge, the Pyramids and grand cathedrals - spaces which were designed to create a sense of awe, wonder and power. Sacred spaces can be created in the community, around and inside the home, too, providing a place for retreat from the pressures of modern life, a place for meditation, enlightenment and replenishment of the soul. The making of the sacred space is as important as its use; the process being one of meditation, spiritual service, creativity and deep connection to Mother Earth and the Cosmos.
This experiential weekend will introduce an understanding of the ideas and design of sacred spaces from ancient times to the modern day, and show you how to create and use your own sacred space, using a range of tools from the ancients such as sacred geometry, and dowsing to find energy paths and power centres. We will design, construct and use a sacred space in the grounds of Monkton Wyld, we will experience the labyrinth as a sacred space, and you will also learn the techniques of creating personal altars and ritual space.
