SUMMARY:Beholding the Stories of the World: a ceremonial remembrance
DESCRIPTION:As bees are the reproductive organs of flowering plants\,\nmight humans be the song and story organs of the world\,\ncarrying the pollen grains of story around as we fall hopelessly in love\nwith the nectar of life\, moving from flower to flower? \n​We might. \nIn the long ago\, Humans were given the gift of language\, the gift of story\, so that we might behold the world in all its mystery and beauty and wonder. While most of us have forgotten this\, and have been using this gift for all manner of absurd and frightening purposes\, there are a few who have never forgotten – the poets and bards\, the song and story-carriers of the world. \nIn the long ago\, Humans were given the gift of story so that we might bear witness to the inexhaustible beauty of the world. With our throats and our hands and our brilliant minds\, we were asked to give this beauty back\, to sing the songs of Life back to itself\, to feed the soul of the world with poetry\, song\, dance\, with wild beauty. We were asked to tend the world with our eloquence\, our imagination\, our capacity for grief and praise. We were asked to Behold the elegance of the world with the fullest limits of our humanness. We were asked to be artists. \nThe power of language and story is our species’ unique way of being in the world\, and it is a powerful magic indeed. What if we were to take accountability for this gift\, for this power\, and use it for honoring and celebrating the world? What if we were to allow ourselves to truly see the beauty of the world\, and be seen in turn? What might happen? \nBeholding the Stories of the World is an eight day journey into a world of very real magic and wonder\, a world in which you are an integral part of the story of the world\, and what you do with your gifts – your art\, your magic – matters greatly to the entire fabric of Life. \nWho is this for?\nThis ceremony is for poets\, bards\, vagabonds and miscreants\, brush-and-pen-wielders\, pot-shapers\, spoon-carvers and basket-weavers\, song-keepers and myth-tellers\, minstrels and wastrels and artists of all breeds and persuasions. Throughout the ceremony\, you will be asked to take accountability for your role as a human and as an artist. You will be asked to witness the beauty of the world\, and be witnessed in turn. You will remember why your people were given these gifts so long ago\, and why you are carrying them now. \nWe are playing in the sandbox of what it might mean to live in an animate world – exploring the possibilities\, potentialities\, and limits of what is possible when a group of humans come together to open their ears\, eyes and hearts to the songs and dreams of the wild world. \nWhat will we be doing?\nWe will be gathering\, camping\, and cooking together at a basecamp on Boulder Mountain\, and venturing into the surrounding wilderness in a series of ceremonies designed to bring us into immediate contact with the nonhuman world. The week will be weaving back and forth from solo wilderness time and community story-telling\, art-creating\, and witnessing time. \nThis sounds a lot like Mirroring\nFor those unfamiliar with this term\, Mirroring is an essential part of a rite-of-passage ceremony\, a way of witnessing\, celebrating\, and midwifing stories into the world. Mirroring is an act of tending the rich soils of death and life – compassionately holding the hand of that which is dying in us\, as well as welcoming the beautiful story which is struggling to emerge into this strange and terrifying world. \nBeholding is a child in the lineage of Mirroring\, taken a few steps deeper into an animate world. Beholding is applying the magic of mirroring to the nonhuman world\, as humans are not the only beings whose stories need to be held\, witnessed\, and loved. \nDo I need prior experience with ceremony\, mirroring\, or poetry?\nThis is a more advanced version of our Beholding the Human Story ceremony\, and so prior experience with ceremony\, mirroring\, and beholding is helpful and indeed necessary to be able to fully engage with the particular magic that we are working with. \nWhat about reciprocity?\nThe Oak and Bone School operates on a gift economy. For more details on what this means\, please follow this link: https://www.theoakandboneschool.com/soul-of-gift\nor contact tamarix for more details. \nParticipation is limited to ten humans. Please RSVP by June 1st.\nFor questions\, details\, or to RSVP\, please follow this link: https://www.theoakandboneschool.com/apply-1\nor contact tamarix at\ntamarix@theoakiandboneschool.com

SUMMARY:LA QUETE DES JEUNES – SUISSE
DESCRIPTION:Quête de Vision pour les 15 à 24 ans\n(jeûne de 24h00 en solo)\nJura\, Suisse.\n3 juillet au 6 juillet 2022.\nCarine Roth\, Line Bachmann et Guido Albertelli \nLa Quête de Vision est un jeûne seul en nature\, c’est une forme spécifique de Rite de Passage\nqui permet de marquer et célébrer le passage d’un état à un autre\,\nd’un âge ou d’une étape de vie à un autre. \nPour la 4ème année consécutive\, nous offrons cet espace aux 15 à 24 ans pour se mettre à l’écoute de leurs talents et aspirations. C’est à chaque fois un honneur et une grande joie de pouvoir partager ces moments ensemble.\nLe passage de l’âge de l’enfance à celui de jeune adulte est une étape importante qui peut naturellement être accompagnée de questionnements. Affirmer mes valeurs et trouver comment prendre ma place dans ce monde moderne peut être un enjeu que la quête de vision soutient et favorise.\nCela demande du courage d’aller s’asseoir seul en nature face à soi-même. Et cela procure en retour de la clarté et de la force.\nEtre vu pour qui je suis et trouver « ma médecine »\, ce que je souhaite apporter à la communauté.\nTrouver le lieu de ma force\, de mon coeur\, choisir de faire briller ma flamme\, unique\, essentielle à la bonne marche du monde.\nLa société se doit d’offrir un espace à la jeunesse pour découvrir comment prendre sa place et embrasser la possibilité d’un futur collectif.

SUMMARY:Transforming Ancestral Trauma through Nature\, Ritual\, and Community
DESCRIPTION:This program provides an opportunity to consciously explore how the shadows of the past remain undigested in our personal and collective lives. To what degree are we aware of their impact on our present day experiences? How does our behavior reflect some trauma or dysfunction from the past? What resilience and wisdom have we inherited through our lineage? \nThe stories of our ancestors are part of who we are today\, but much of their influence remains unconscious. Through immersion in wild nature\, supported by ritual and safe community\, we can begin a process of healing. When we explore and bring awareness to what is unintegrated in our ancestral line\, we create more presence and more vitality in our life that helps with the challenges we face. The journey is both a deeply personal exploration as well as an inquiry into our collective trauma. \nHistorical events\, such as war\, the Holocaust\, slavery\, the genocide of Native Americans\, and the Depression\, intersect with the traumas in our lineage and are carried across generations. Through awareness and the courage to face the past\, we can bring light to the shame\, fear\, mistrust\, numbness\, grief\, and other feelings that perhaps lie dormant from “looking away.” \nThe format of the 7-day program is spacious\, to allow for delicate insights to emerge. We will meet daily in sharing councils\, with teachings followed by experiential reflection walks on the land\, and then further councils in the evenings. The framework of the Four Shields will support and help us map out our exploration of ancestral wounding. Other rituals and practices will enhance our time together. On day 5\, participants will undertake a 24-hour solo with optional fasting. Upon return participants will share their stories and have them mirrored by the guides. \nProgram Overview: This 7-day program provides an opportunity to transform the energy we have inherited. We sit in a sea of personal and collective influences that color how we react\, what motivates us\, and how much we trust ourselves and others. Through awareness and the courage to face the past\, our deep dive into our genealogy leads to a beautiful liberation of aliveness\, inspiration\, and gratitude for ourselves and those who came before us.
