IAM WINTER SOLSTICE SYMPOSIUM & FIRE TENDERS GATHERING 2022 Tending Sacred Space Thank you for your interest in creating an altar for the IAM Winter Solstice Fire Tenders Gathering. This year’s focus is “Inwardly Strong”. Throughout the ages, shamans were called to hold the container, with a clear vision for the health of their communities. Even with all our magic and shamanic tools, this service has become a challenge, and yet the call from the Wind Spirits grows louder and more fierce. This year I have been called to offer Sanctuary to our Community, and offer a Winter Solstice Ceremony, then lead a group to quietly tend to our Inner Flame. It is time to become “inwardly strong” as one of our Windies, Michelle Latinski so aptly called her personal result after two years in the WindWork ® apprenticeship program. This year we will deepen the experience as we apprentice to the wind spirits to usher back the light. We will be holding a 10-day personal altar vigil. Instead of lots of activity and live presentations, we will walk quietly with our prayer in Nature. Renee will send a daily short video prompt, and there will be a private group for sharing your inner experience. Find out more https://thepracticalshaman.com/iam-symposium-fire-tenders-gathering-2022/
