Place: Hub Feenix, Raasepori
Join us for a transformative Shakti Dance® workshop with theme Persephone’s Journey
– Immerse in Mythology: Delve into Persephone’s Journey
– Personal Transformation: through relaxing and releasing, organic Shakti Flowing Asanas, vitalising Standing Exercises, and elevating group Mantric Choreographies, we will weave together a regenerative field, sharing a ritual for deep inner renewal.
– Community Connection: Share this journey with like-minded souls, supporting and enhancing your experience.
Persephone’s Journey is themed to a Greek Myth about Demeter, goddess of fertility & harvest, and the loss of her daughter, Persephone to Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Here, the Autumnal transformation into the heart of Winter and beyond, is likened to Persephone’s descent into the Underworld. As she descends, she is challenged through progressive decay and dissolution to relinquish all attachments and identification. Exhausted she finally surrenders, realising her true nature at the Core of the Underworld.
Like other Goddess Myths of the Autumn-Winter, the Myth of “Persephone’s Journey” is an archetypal key enabling us to die with Mother Nature into the Winter and to release the old – so we can renew and regenerate into the New Year.
At the Stillpoint of Winter Solstice – the alchemical Core of the Cauldron and fertile Womb of Creation – is where the illuminating alchemical elixir in the cauldron of the Crone Goddess, Hecate, becomes available to you… assisting your rebirth through the chaos of decay, helping recreate your basic matrix – and thereby transform and mature into wholeness.
Mythical journeys help us to access, process and liberate old narratives that no longer serve us. The passages through these goddess myths can help us unlock the deeper realms of our subconscious, so we can embody the archetypal gifts of the goddesses and our Great Mother Nature. These myths act as ‘Rituals for Regeneration’, helping us to rewrite our narrative and rebirth into wholeness.
