Tending the Land

  • Rock Point Chapel 20 Rock Point Road Burlington, VT, 05408 United States (map)

A day long workshop with Fearn Lickfield and Spoonful Herbals!

What does it mean to magically steward the lands that we call home?

How can we leave a legacy of care and health, co-creation and regeneration?

Become an empowered, skilled and sensitized tender of the land and all beings!

In this day-long introductory workshop, we will learn earth divining skills to assess the energetics and spirits of place.  By entering a state of deep communion, we will attune ourselves to listen with our whole being. Clarity comes when we understand what questions to ask, how to dowse and divine answers, and how to build relationships of reciprocity with the spirits of Nature.  

What do we do with this information? We become response-able! We will explore ways to bring about greater well being, balance, clarity, fertility and connection. Earth connection skills/modalities explored will include earth acupuncture, offerings, ritual, and healing practices for the land, waters, air and fire. 

Registration comes with a set of divining rods which you will learn to use!
