Voyage to the New Dawn MOUNT OF OAKS PORTUGAL

15th-20th May

Voyage to the New Dawn is to step with awe, with a wholeness of heart and spirit, a fearlessness that enables the embodied self to dance in the beauty of being. By coming into contact with the deepest source of our creativity, we can bring ourselves to be fully in service to our essence and the gift that it offers to the world.

Here we craft a new way of being, a new way of shining our authentic light so that we can birth with the new dawn of humanity. A dawn which unites us with the origin of spirit, and a dawn that brings back the courage to love and live more fully.

This 5 day immersion will nourish your spirit on a pilgrimage of becoming. In a magical setting of wondrous landscapes, the journey will work with all the elements, working with embodied dreamwork, ceremony, vision quests, plant alchemy and healing herbs. Giving you the sacred imprints within your cellular memory to take with you on your onward journey.

This experience will take messages from dragon energy working on both a personal and collective level, we will explore the different layers of 'embracing the dragon' and how this notion can support you to explore the wholeness of your being. This process will offer a exploration of your hidden gems and offer you a supportive environment for nourishing all your creative currents.

The dragon energy represents the mastery of our inner harvests through activity and creativity. It is said that the dragon combines 9 different animals, each animal of a different plane, giving the dragon a special capacity to travel through each of the elements. The cyclical journey of the dragon begins in the cave of the underworld, the womb of the subconscious. In this deepest cave, the dragon takes refuge from autumn and winter. The dragon leaves the cave in spring, awakening into consciousness and alertness, enchanted by its inner journey. It ascends into the sky with wings to manifest the weavings of winter. A shapeshifting gentle power that unfolds likes the leaves in the spring. The wings carry ideas for the new cycle, the threads to sow into the abundance of summer – that sacred space of true manifestation.

Over the 5 days we will be working through a journey of the 9 animals that make up the dragon - dreaming and visioning with them before stepping into our dragon flight.

Is this for you ?

This space is for beings who wish to work deeply on both a personal and collective level, for beings who wish to come together in shared practice, in circle, in ceremony who want to travel inside mysteries rooted in the magic of our collective bone memory, to dream within the web of the collective psyche. It is a calling to all those sensing that life is connected to the web of all realms and wish to be in service to that purpose and the collective care of the planet and each other.

You do not need to consider yourself to be an artist to join this gathering, but some familiarity with ceremonial and ritual processes would be beneficial.

If you have journeyed with us before, this would be a wonderful moment to consult your ongoing inner weavings.

THE HOUSEHOLD

We will be hosted at Mount of Oaks, nestled in the Gardhuna Mountains in Portugal, whose practices of sacred land tending, healing and crafting will infiltrate and enrich our gathering throughout. Together we will create a nomadic household, of collective creation immersed in wilderness and the elementals. One of the beings at mount of Oaks is the precious Emma, a being of herbal alchemy of kitchen medicine and song. Emma will be weaving her offerings into the gathering to nourish us throughout the journey. Another householder will be Ines, an artist who has joined us for every journey with Yörük, Ines brings her delightful beingness to accompany us alongside her offerings in natural scents and photography.

Testimonials from previous journeyers

"This course is the most incredible gift. Isik and Eva are the most beautiful, generous, nurturing and knowledgeable soul guides. Throughout the journeys and the teachings, I felt so held by them, still do. The work they do is nothing short of magical. They helped me see how powerful I am within the collective. I have made some special life long bonds with the other people in the circle. They facilitated so many deep and potent healing experiences for me, and the others within our circle. I will never forget them. Fourthland are truly magical beings who awaken the magic in you."

"Journeying with Eva and Isik and our circle was a profound and life-changing experience. Through their tender, attentive, magical curation, I felt deep self-transformation and experienced wonderful relational resonances and creative spiritual growth. I alchemised inner barriers that enabled my creative spirit to awaken. I now feel that I have a mythical harmonic divine landscape woven around me, and pockets full of paint and paintbrushes, stars and seeds, that are enabling me to live in beautiful reality."

"The way you hold us, hold space, hold forth with instructions, invitations and guidance is so safe, it’s like being embedded in love and special attention… and yet somehow your permissions set us free to go into the most private and solitary landscapes where no one can come with us, to take heart and set out bravely."
