I am so pleased that Hilary said yes to coming up to Edinburgh again. The Shaman's Doorway with her in 2019 was so beautiful. These 2 days of practice are rich, whether you are already well along the road of shamanic practice, or you are just feeling the call to start exploring first steps.

Edinburgh Saturday morning dance is OUTDOORS this week. Our 2nd Ancestors dance. Long-fingered hands from a grandmother, curls from a great-great-grandfather, a hot temper, a sense of humour... what has been passed along the flow of lives of our ancestors. Sorrows, and joys, struggles and blessings, until today and being alive in this human body in this moment... how miraculous.
Deets:
11am to 12.30pm. The garden of The Salisbury Centre, Newington, EH16 5AB.
Dancing with fire and sky, earth, trees, in our own dance & in the company of one another (bring clothing for rain or sun).
There will be soup to share afterwards (vegan, gluten-free and yummy). If you fancy some soup round the fire great, or zip off into your day, that's also fine.
Cost £12. text me Aileen on 07817392914 for booking details and/or to let me know you are coming, so I make enough soup for us all.
