BEAUTIFUL SPEECH

“A beautiful lady was running naked through the night,
but no poet was awake to praise her.”
Note: This is an annual event.Please see calendar for dates.


These meetings focus on the mature poetic speech that nourishes the Soul of the World and brings integrity, nobility and revelation to language, the community and the world.

We must accept that we have lost the fierce, heart broken eloquence of free, proud, authentic people who are aware of their vulnerability and their sacred mingling with the ancient dew of the world. This is an attempt to teach that forgotten way. These secrets are profound and can only be given to those hungry for them.

This will be a deeply personal time working with that most intimate of our capacities - our speech: speech that can reveal and praise and bless the muddy details and blue skies of the gods, mountains and lakes and our own stumblings. And which should be our living gift to the world. A world destroyed through casual living, casual talking and starved of the poetry and honesty, and divine artistry of the heart. Old cultures knew about this, we can learn and remember.

Mining treasures from the holding house of the body and soul, to offer up from our open hands to the day; and how through what we think and say, we mould the reality of our lives. Erika Indra will be assisting in this.

You must have attended two Spirit Horse events with Shivam to attend this one. This will be a cosy winter ger camp at our Mountain Retreat.




What
We speak
Becomes the house we live in.

Who will want to sleep in your bed
If the roof leaks
Right above
It?

“Beowulf, thus challenged by the dauntless and well spoken guard
unlocked his word hoard.”


Come to learn to speak like you.
Bring your poems and be all that the world is!

“Finn praised that Harper saying,
"he never told a story without making truth naked".”
