Stop mourning and start singing

I have been away for the last two weeks spending time with friends in the DC area and teaching at Spiralheart witchamp.The gathering is a Reclaiming Witchcamp intensive which lasts for 8 days- it's full of magic, healing, self and trans formative work , rituals, paths and community. The story for the week was Krishna and the Gopis- The venue is at Claymont which is a beautiful place and was once owned by George Washington's great grand son. April and i co taught the path Dreaming the land awake- it was an earth path which involved spell work, dream divination and incubation, trance work and communicating with the ancestors and spirits of the place. Our work was very powerful and the group of folks who took the path were truly amazing people. We really opened up and really did some amazing work. There is a lot of history with the place and the ancestors and the spirits of the land were very active with us. Though the land is beautiful and wild at places it certainly needed healing done. The history of that place can be traced back to the indigenous folks, the European settlers, the slaves that help built the place. There were so many stories that this place had to tell us and that we shared with the community. However what really came out of the work that we did this week and one of the messages that came to us through our dream work was that we should stop looking into the past, that so much has happened that we need to move forward and that we was should stop mourning and start singing. This was one of many messages and we surely lived this up. One of our facilitators has handfasted at camp. Aurora wore this amazing dress and Mary looked great too. The whole experience was wonderful and what made it very special was that this divine union was witnessed by the community and old friends. I loved it and we made sure had a party which was filled with love, joy, laughter and fun. After the witchcamp i got to hang out with friends visit galleries, eat out and just enjoy the moment.
