Sacred Runes ~ with Amanda Stuart
July 16-18

Join us for a magical weekend of lore, creation, meditation and Runic Yoga.  Be inspired to reconnect with your ancestral knowledge as you are initiated into this ancient way of being.

Together we will discovery the history and charge our bodies with Stádhagaldr, an active system of runic postures.

Stadhagaldr is used as a mode of psychological integration and personal transmutation. The overall aims of the stádhagaldr are:

1. Control of body through posture (stadha)
2. Control of thought through song (galdr)
3. Control of breath
4. Control of emotion
5. Becoming aware of the rune realms of the self and the world(s)
6. Control and direction of  the Will

Create your very own Runes
You'll have the opportunity to create your very own runes which will bring you closer to the knowledge, and able you to take home this old-world practice. Runes have much to teach us about a way of life that was perhaps more intimately connected to the natural world, and to the realm of spirit, than our own.
