The First Cycle ¨ 2027
The full school year begins at Imbolc in Februari 2027.
The practice of following the seasonal wheel of the year allows your experiences to develop in relation with the more than human as the year unfurls. The structure being one taught seminar day every 6 weeks, with 1 online critique sharing day 4 weeks later. Suggested reading material including extra curricular texts sent out accordingly.
The 8 branch seminars consist of 4 main modules with roughly 6 weeks between each meet up. Giving space for self motivated engagement, allowing for your own research and autonomy of practice according to time and particular interest. It may be that your work dosn’t start to develop until half way through the cycle, or you may want to use this time as practice based research without any particular end goal.
The groups are small and intimate, intending to encourage and foster, to motivate and inspire participants. Giving you firsthand tools and knowledge from the educators own practice. Facilitating the connections needed to bring these ideas into your own work, practices and communities.
This course is suitable for people who have reached at least diploma / BA level qualification in their field and specifically those wishing to continue or develop a creative practice, to deepen or begin a spiritual discipline, and or to facilitate these practices within their wider comunity work.
By working with a small peer group cohort, this allows for natural connections to evolve over time, with the aspiration that these groups continue to grow once each school cycle is complete.
