Join Vicky and Fiona for this immersive experience on one of Argyll's most beautiful beach locations, and discover the rejuvenating power of Nature.
There is a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest that there are countless benefits from spending time near blue spaces and our Argyll coastline, with it's rugged, almost savage at times beauty, is both accessible and abundant. Negative ions generated over the ocean are thought to be beneficial for our overall psychological health, well being and productivity, offering enhanced air quality, that in turn can improve our psychological functioning.
Enhance your mood, boost your immune system and lower your stress levels with, foraging for Seaweeds for foods and medicine along the shore, and set a crystal grid to amplify and energise, as we approach the Summer Solstice.
This is part two of this special experience. During this session will shall re-set our crystal grid.
The use of crystals to harness particular energetic frequencies of minerals, is a practise that has been used across many civilisations, including the Celts.
Setting crystal grids is seen as a way to amplify the energy of crystals and create a focused and coherent energetic field. It is believed that the geometric patterns and the arrangement of crystals create a synergy that enhances the individual properties of each crystal, making intentions more powerful.
During our session we will learn;
About how to set a crystal grid yourself, in both a natural setting or at home
How to forage for wild food, medicine and wild crafting materials safely and sustainably
F oraging and the law
About how to identify a wide variety of wild plants
About how to make wild teas, infusions and tinctures
About how to make the most of our common kitchen herbs
What easy changes can be made to support ourselves
How to connect with the Earth on a deeper, more meaningful level
We shall start the day with a welcoming circle and mindfully wander along the beach and across the rocks down to the lowest point of the tide, identifying a wide variety of native seaweeds, through touch, taste and smell
Fiona will lead us in setting a crystal grid which we shall leave in place to gain energy and amplify our intentions. You will all select your own crystal and Fiona will guide us in how to work with our crystal in the future. We shall end with a closing circle and a wild drink and snack
You will end the day feeling nurtured and uplifted, having spent it in the arms of Mother Nature herself
After the event you will receive a follow-up email listing all of the plants we met along the way, some resources and book recommendations and some wild food recipes to try at home.
