MYTH & MOVEMENT CLASS
The word Céilí means a friendly visit, a social gathering, or a dance in Irish Gaelic. It represents a coming together in celebration of friendship, community and life.
Here, you will enter a moonlit realm where ancient tales come alive and wisdom flows through your body.
In this myth and movement class, you will be transported to the heart of the Celtic mythic imagination as a portal for inner-work.
Guest storyteller
Join Jennifer Murphy with guest storyteller, Midwife, Medicine Woman, Mother and Mystic, Sarah Richardson, for this month’s theme, The Birth of Danu, a sacred spiral of co-creation between Sarah and the Great Mother archetype.
The Birth of Danu is a story of returning back to source.
Returning back to the mother before mothers.
The before the before.
To receive.
To reconnect.
To restore.
To rejoice.
Will you spiral with us into the womb of our Great Ancestress?
