Hestia, Hermes, and Health: Holding space in your body for intuition and self-powered healing

Do you ever experience emotions that you don't like?
Do you struggle with decisions?

Join us for a one day in-person group experience to balance your body and mind and learn steps for intuitive decision-making at home.

...using your plant body to "compost" emotions, and

...learning the steps of intuitive decision-making.

"I was transformed very far away from my ongoing 'work life/life' - It was an unexpected respite." -Natasha

"Arrive with an open mind and be prepared to go deep into the inner workings of your being. Guided powerfully and gently by Travis and framed by ancient practices/mythology." -ES

Click here to access registration for one or more weekly one hour online classes, offered on most Tuesdays, 12:30-1:30PM.

The classes will vary from week to week:

• There are many ways to explore the power of myth, composting, our mineral / plant / animal bodies, and finding internal solutions to health problems. 
• Each hour will focus on one in-depth guided meditation followed by group sharing and integration. 
• I will also frame the week's activity in a conceptual framework of myth, the science of the human body, and/or astrology.

How do you use the stories of your life to power change? 

Hestia is the Greek goddess of whom almost no stories are written, whereas Hermes represents the force of change and motion in every story ever written. In this introductory workshop, experience: 

• Hestia’s powerful ‘holding of all ground’ in your body--specifically in your pelvic bowl and your heart--turning your life experience into the fuel for transformation. 
• Hermes's ability to keep your mind curious rather than controlling, thereby  powering your digestion of life events.

This series of one hour classes will focus on

• Hestia and Hermes as the two foundational forces in our world.
• The importance of recognizing our mineral, plant, and animal bodies and what they teach us about the cycles of life and death. 
• Contrasting the Hestian nature of the pelvic bowl and heart with the Hermetic nature of the nervous and digestive systems. 
• Simple breathing and meditation techniques to help compost and digest the stress and trauma of our lives to nourish opportunities for change.
• Plenty of time for internal exploration and opportunities for group discussion and integration. 

"I really enjoyed connecting with people and hearing their experiences. I was concerned initially that it would feel too vulnerable to share with a group of
individuals I had just met, but was pleasantly surprised." -Shannon

Of note: I'm also considering a  subsequent, more comprehensive workshop that will build on these principles to include the following. Let me know if you're interested!

Deeper dive into your personal astrology related to 30 year cycles of the Sun and Moon, as well as the archetypes described in the myth of Demeter and Persephone.

• Practical work with Hestia and Hermes to strengthen your intuition.
• The mythic origination of our fractured Western health care and how communicating with plants can help you heal.
• Meditation and breathing strategies to connect to natural ('dark feminine') power that is innate to both women and men.

Hestia, Hermes, and Plant-guided Health

Hestia symbolizes the ability to hold all experiences, emotions, and forces. Hermes is the force of change that powers the mind, digestion, and intuition. Plants--and your own 'plant body'--are a living example of their balance. 

In this 5-hour experiential workshop we will

• Multiple guided meditation experiences, including Heart Fire - Pelvic Fire breathing, the experience of your Mineral / Plant / Animal bodies, and different frames of connection to the "ground" of Reality. 
• Astrological exploration of 30 year cycles of your life, guided by the position of the Sun and Moon at your birth
• Learn the basics of plant communication
• Have opportunities for optional reflection, sharing, and art-making
