About the Wild Human Circle - Winter fire gatherings
by Anna - Vild Væren . Wild Being:
These times are wild. In different meanings of this word. I do believe that we need to act in changing the systems around us, AND I also believe that part of the action has to be in growing curious, loving relationships to ourselves and to our kin: the human and the other-than-human; to listen to what we can learn from each other.
Therefore I offer a series of evenings around the fire and in the woods, where we explore how that might look. What happens when we slow down, allow ourselves to nourish the relationships with our more-than-human world around us as well as the wild life within us?
What happens when we gather as humans has done for thousands of years around a fire to share stories, songs, stirrings, silences and questions?
For three evenings the coming months, we will do that. Gather around the fire to explore the wildness inside and around us and the relationship between them.
Why:
- to grow the deeper roots and softer hearts that we need in a time of interconnected global crises.
- to feel that we are not alone and to ask what it means that "we are nature".
- to lean into that support and wisdom that nature in and around us has.
- to create community with space for the wholeness of who we are, and to heal.
- to strengthen inter-human and interspecies understanding and connection.
- because the world needs us to stop, to gather and to listen - to ourselves, each other and the life in the woods.
- because it is a crazy world and time we are living in, and gathering around the fire in the dark times gives us so much!
How:
Every time we start and end around the fire.
We will spend some time in conversation, sharing and listening around the fire, and some time each for ourselves with the life in the woods, so we can bring other voices into the conversation around the fire.
We will explore stories, song, silence, our encounters with nature and the questions and longings each of us bring.
These sessions are informed by my own longings, my experiences and practices, especially within Ways of Council, Nature-based rites of passage work, nature connection and the Work That Reconnects, as well as inspiration from many human and other-than-human guides, mentors, peers and teachers on my way. And then it will also be shaped by who and what shows up.
These evenings are a continuation of similar fire gatherings held last winter with great succes.
It will be held in English if someone shows up who doesnt speak Danish. You are always welcome to share in your own language.
You are also always welcome to not share anything, and just show up and listen and be part of it in that way.
Who:
You who feel these words resonate with something in you, whether it is expressed as curiosity, longing, scepticism or something else.
Both yours and my primary guides for the evenings are the fire, the circle, darkness and the life in the woods.
I, Anna, plan and facilitate the evenings and will sometimes invite other guest contributors.
Where: The bonfire hut 'Bålhytten' in Havreballe Skov
When: Every second week: Monday Nov 10., Tuesday Nov 25. and Monday Dec 8. From 17-19.30. You are invited to hang around afterwards, and to bring your own dinner to enjoy.
Sign up by sending a text to 31208918
How much:
I offer this in the spirit of a gift econom
y. Please consider contributing (financially) to costs of firewood as well as to the work put into preparing these evenings, as that will support me in further prioritizing this work. And know that you are just as welcome if you contribute with your participation as with money. There are many ways to give back or give forwards.
