From ‘The Wheel Of Souls Return’

The Art Of Spiritual & Emotional Intelligence for the way of living in todays climate.

This is a workshop where we focus on moving, dancing and creating with the ability to dream, our innocent nature and the rebelliousness of our individuality.

These first three archetypes are the foundations of our journey here on earth. By understanding  them and our inherent wisdom that is connected to them, we can begin to reclaim whatever has been lost over the years.

We will dance, write and create, sharing what we discover with our fellow participants.

As we move deeper into the dance and the process, we begin to see how these vital energies become more alive within us, and more able to fulfill their natural purpose. Here we find resources and tools to support us through our daily living and we develop a stronger connection to our innate purpose. We are then more motivated to complete our task of moving towards sovereignty.

Our focus will be with the ‘The Gathering’ segments of the Middle Earth Medicine Wheel. Follow link for more info https://middleearthmedicine.com/workshops/the-wheel-of-souls-return/

Join us for this weekend, to deepen your experience of dance, to engage with possible outcomes and help build a community of seekers willing to grow.

This is an opportunity to begin a journey of the ‘Souls Return’ series of gatherings which you can, if you wish, lead you to apprenticeship with Caroline and team.

Creative Writing & Meditation Day

A day in the yurt with walks in the local area. Time to contemplate, to share the magic of our words and the stories of old. Listening with the drum beat, inspired by the fire and nourishing our creative juices.

Please book in advance, bring journal and pens and food to share.

There is a maximum number of participant places available.

Donations (suggested £40 – £50)

Das Gewebe meiner Seele

Tanzen bedeutet, in die Fülle der Berufung unserer Seelen zu erwachen. Diese Berufung so vollständig wie möglich zu leben bedeutet, unser Potenzial zu verkörpern, auf eine Weise, die nur uns zueigen ist. Dies kommt nicht aus einem Dogma, auch nicht aus dem Ideal eines anderen, wer wir sind und was wir tun sollten. Es ist eine persönliche Beziehung zu einem Bewusstsein, das die Essenz unseres Seins bewohnt, die Unschuld, die in uns angeboren ist. Wenn wir uns nach Hause rufen, lernen wir, unsere Leidenschaft und unser Potenzial in eine heilende, verkörperte Quelle für andere zu verwandeln, und werden zu einer Inspiration für das Wachstum unserer Gemeinschaften.
Das Gewebe unserer Seele kann gefühlt und verkörpert werden, und es kann visuell gestaltet werden, um uns an eine un-gebrochene Unschuld zu erinnern. Dieses Gewebe ist eine archetypische Qualität, die wir in uns tragen. Sie ist auch das Angesicht, von dem wir wissen, dass wir es in die Welt tragen müssen.
An diesen Tagen werden wir tief tanzen und in einen Prozess der Maskenherstellung eintreten, einer tiefen Meditation, um uns mit dem Gewebe unserer Seele zu verbinden und was sie uns in der materiellen Form zeigt.
“The Fabric Of My Soul” befasst sich mit Seelenrückholung und ruft Teile von uns selbst zurück, die vielleicht verloren gegangen sind.
Trauma in seinen vielen Formen, der Vernachlässigung und den schmerzhaften Erfahrungen, verursacht diesen Seelenverlust und wir finden die Akzeptanz dessen, was es uns ermöglicht, die Wunden anzuerkennen und Neues zu wagen, indem wir positive archetypische Qualitäten zurückfordern, um zu erfahren, wer wir sind und was wir hier zu tun haben.
Immer wieder diese lebenswichtige Frage stellend: “Was ist es an mir zu tun”, und Samen der Erneuerung zu pflanzen.

The Fabric Of My Soul

To dance is to awaken to the fullness of our souls calling. To inhabit this calling as fully as possible means to embody our potential, in a way that is ours to do and only ours to do. It does not come from dogma, it does not come from any one else’s ideal of who and what we should be doing. It is a personal relationship with a  consciousness that inhabits the very essence of our being, the innocence (inner – sense) that is innate within us. Calling ourselves home we learn to materialise our passion and our potential into a healing, embodiment source for others, we become an inspiration for the growing members of our community. (an in-spirit-nation)

The very fabric of our soul can be felt and embodied, it can be created visually, to help us remember a broken innocence, the archetypal quality that we realise we carry and the face that we know we need to share in the world.

In this gathering we will dance deeply and enter a process of mask-making, a deep meditation to connect with the fabric of our soul and what it shows us itself through material forms.

‘The Fabric Of My Soul’ addresses soul retrieval, calling forward parts of ourselves that might have become lost.

Trauma in its many forms, neglect and painful experiences cause that soul loss and so we find the acceptance of that, which enables us to acknowledge the wounds and take new actions, reclaiming positive archetypal qualities in order to learn about who we are and what it is we are here to do.

Always asking that vital question ‘what is mine to do,’ and planting seeds of renewal.

It is known as one of the most powerful of (spiritual) experiences we can have in life. Mandorla is the place of poetry ‘where the fire and the rose are one!’ (Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot)

This is  a weekend workshop in Depot 37, Hastings, East Sussex in a very interesting location. It is open to all to attend, whatever your experience.

“Sometimes within our individual self and within the self of our worn-out society, there is no answer to conflict. There is, however, a way to stand within the center of the opposing forces. Conflict creates tremendous energy. If we leave out judgement then that ‘energy’ can become a vibration of light. Not always just a single light but many lights, sending out a vibration that is LOVE!”  — Caroline Carey

As human beings, we can exist on multiple planes of being; the one that we are usually most aware of, however, is the material world. By its nature, the material world is a place of duality – a place of opposites that we often experience as being in conflict with one another. Examples include heaven and earth, light and dark, masculine and feminine, loyalty and betrayal, to name but a few. The polarity between these opposites creates a fundamental tension at an evolutionary level that has the potential to be either profoundly destructive or powerfully generative and creative. The evidence of the destructive consequences of this tension lies all around us in the terrible scourges of war, inequality and conflict within and between individuals, groups and societies.

The key to transforming the destructive consequences of conflict into life-affirming outcomes lies in how we relate to the tension between opposites. When we can hold the tension within ourselves, bearing the pain, beauty and terror that this brings, we bring the two opposing elements together, creating a space in which the split between the two can be resolved. We call this space the ‘mandorla’ – a word derived from ‘almond’ in Italian, which refers to the almond shape created when two circles overlap. The mandorla also known as the ‘Vesica Piscis’ is the sacred space of our soul work; when we stand in this place, we have the ability to transform what once was a curse into powerful medicine for the soul. Its energy is that of the Father Mother Principle in the Divine Union, the Mother of all Forms and the Yin and Yang that has been known to us for decades. 

“Magic of Mandorla, amazing and deep work with Caroline Carey. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT to anyone who is studying to become a therapist or is one already but seeking the thread of connection in continuing your own development and work with your own process (which we so need when we work with others – right?) If you feel called to this work, then follow your intuition and go for it! I think it’s of excellent quality.” Suzan Lemont

From ‘The Wheel Of Souls Return’

The Art Of Spiritual & Emotional Intelligence for the way of living in todays climate.

Accepting the awakening of the potential of the souls return, is the primary teaching of our work. This offering includes learning more presence and deep listening, adopting more self-awareness with the ability to self-regulate, finding empathy and compassion for self and others, embodying and using principled actions.

This all helps to motivate us and bring who we really are into our everyday living, loosening inhibitions and addressing any lack of self esteem and/or negative patterns and habits.

It is during this time that we begin to be able to address our life story within the safe container of dance, supported by others who share this path.

We use movement and dance to help us integrate and digest some of our stories assisting us to stay fluid and receptive to change.

We will journey and learn to share with honesty, the wisdom and the information that we discover. We will gain more spiritual tools to support our personal growth and find a deeper wisdom within.

We will dance, write and create, sharing what we discover with our fellow participants.

Our focus will be with the Deeper Knowing segments of the wheel, follow link for more info https://middleearthmedicine.com/workshops/the-wheel-of-souls-return/

This is an opportunity to begin a journey of the ‘Souls Return’ series of gatherings which can, if you wish, lead you to apprenticeship with Caroline and team.

Awaken Your Dancer – Empower Your Soul – Embody Your Purpose in Life!

Many of us live with a sense that something is ‘missing’ – as if there is a void lurking beneath the surface of our lives that we can never quite fill. As a result, we can spend our lives endlessly seeking to fill that emptiness with more – more money, more possessions, more relationships. However, this is ultimately a fruitless quest because often what we are really seeking cannot be found ‘out there’ in the physical world for they are the lost parts of our soul – fragments that may have split off many years earlier.

Long recognised by shamans, such soul loss is a form of psychic fracturing that can come about as a result of trauma, dis-ease or a dysfunctional upbringing. Not only does soul loss leave a legacy of ongoing dysfunction, fatigue, illness and depression, but it can also disempower us by crippling our ability to heal and move forward.

Reclaiming and reintegrating the lost parts of the soul is therefore a crucial first step towards self-empowerment. Only then can we align ourselves with our soul’s purpose in order to manifest the abundance of our highest potential.

In this workshop, Caroline will support you to reclaim the lost parts of your soul using the powerful shamanic process of soul retrieval. In a safe and held environment, she will guide you on a journey into the depths, exploring what is missing and what needs to be reclaimed. Then, you will enter into ceremonial space, where you will call in the missing soul parts, integrate them and realign yourself with your soul ready for action in the world.

We will dance fully and deeply!

We cannot know the truth about ourselves by only using our mind…so go deeper search the depths of your own caverns, and find out who you really are. Go deeper because you always can, knowing that the gift that YOU are, lies as a hidden jewel deep inside you.

Never give up, keep asking those questions and meeting the place where two worlds connect with each other

And ask yourself – Who am I?

For you are the light, hiding in your own dark!

An exploration of soul purpose, using the Middle Earth Medicine Wheels dwellings, stages of life, archetypes, resources and tools.

This is an offering where we see opportunity in every one of our life experiences.

Our birthings, our new beginnings, or the start of a project, we learn to accept as Spirit sent, where our soul is designing its own sacred contract and is connected from pre-birth in the realm of dreaming.

It then follows around the wheel to the innocent stage where the imagination begins to vision in, with curiosity, what is possible to create from that contract, from our life story, from our awakenings and even sometimes from our challenges and wounds.

We journey from innocent to rebel, where we need to let go of old structures and immerse ourselves in the wildness of the untamed forest to release ourselves and explore the true nature of who we are.

This leads us to become an apprentice of our own story and the creation of our vocations through it, whatever that might be, whether it is a particular project, body of work, even relationship, being helped and guided by the understanding of our own repetitive patterns, by allies and guardians.

The wheel continues to be our guide, through adulthood with the artisan and the thespian, creating and acting from that place of creativity, parenting those qualities into being, showing our art to the world and manifesting change and fruition.

Knowing and maturing our purpose, we become the Sovereign of our own Magestic garden, stepping into the responsibility needed for the task set out to us and those we must serve, accepting the humility of our own sacred fool that we might relinquish the hold that our soulless ego has over us.

Trusting in a power greater than ourselves, the sacred fool reminds us of who we really are, how to find humor in our story and our humanness, we must awaken fully and know who we are.

Leaving no stone unturned, we aspire to be the wise elder of our own making, standing, staff in hand with that sovereign vibration and the embodied calling that is here to serve.

Surrendered in acceptance of who we are, we know ourselves and are able to honor our ego as the hands of the soul.

Now as that elder we are here to serve the innocents dream and whatever needs our support, bringing it into new life…

and the wheel turns again…

Exploring our purpose means the acceptance of our life experience, unraveling some of its life long stories and what we have made them to mean. Our purpose is born through us and the challenges we meet along the way are divinely there to sculpt us and shape us into who we are and what we are here to offer, yet how we view our own stories might need to make way for something entirely new, even more revealing and much more inline with our potential.

Middle Earth Medicine takes us on nine stages of soul work, integrating soul through personal development, soul-retrieval, creativity and ecstatic dance.

This particular medicine wheel not only supports your personal growth, but offers deeply healing experiences and meditations to open the heart and re-member a broken innocence. We learn to use the tools that can physically put us in touch with our purpose on this planet, guides that will support us on the journey and the very particular archetypal quality we need to embrace. We journey with each of the archetypes and their dwelling places, time of life, tools and resources, to establish the current position of soul and purpose.

Without careful observance and enquiry into knowing where we are in the cycle of our souls offering, it is almost impossible to know what stage we are at and what we need to embody before we can fully move on to the next stage. We can do this with the support of our community, listening to their experiences and learning and growing together. Often we can find ourselves trying to move on too quickly to the next stage before fully engaging with the last, thus meeting with the same challenges over and over again without fulfillment. We learn, one step at a time, patiently unfolding what is truly intended for us.

During this syllabus, Caroline will guide you through the wheel, using movement meditations, outdoor work, self reflection, sharing and creativity. She will share her own story of the Wheels discovery and the maps that have led to the Middle Earth Medicine path. No matter what your experience, no matter what your age or position in life, this Medicine Wheel may be able to support you on a journey of discovery.

The outer-realms of the Middle Earth Medicine Wheel are The Gathering, Deeper Knowing and The Offering. These are the stages of development that the wheel offers. First is to gather the information, second is to deepen our understanding of it and third is to create and make our offering from it.

Giving what I have,

I know is mine to give

Now the offering is clear, we know it at our core. Everything has been made clear to us from the work we have done and the time and effort made into our journey.

Sovereign, Sacred Fool and Wise Elder, become our trusty companions as we persevere, reminding ourselves always to be willing to see with a lightness of heart, our own truth. If we make mistakes, and we will, we take it as a lesson learnt; we take it as an opportunity to make better that part of our life. Staying humble we know that in order to make our offering, we must understand ourselves on an even deeper level. If arrogance arises then we invite the Fool to remind us who we are and we step down from that pedestal. Taking stock of ourselves and asking for help. Humbling ourselves to what really needs to be spoken and what needs to be taken seriously enough. Knowing that we will undo any harm we might have done.

As time moves on we begin to recognise the need to pass on what we have learnt and that the most important calling of all is yet to come.

What is yours to do in the world?

Discover this more fully in dance and in meditation. Use the mandorla process to engage more fully in the discovery of soul purpose.

Cost: tuition:  € 265, early bird price  € 235 (if paid by 15th May)  + extra for accommodation + food: 2.700 CZK
