April 16 - 20, 2008
Conversations with the Sacred Other with Animas Valley Institute At Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake Desert, Utah

In order to grow into our full human potential, we must be in regular conversation with something or someone greater than our everyday human selves. We must open ourselves to the Sacred Other; that which we might otherwise call soul, spirit, nature, the universe, the Tao, the gods and goddesses, or the unconscious. This intensive will explore a variety of creative methods for engaging and developing those conversations. SOUL TASKS are custom-designed for you based on the themes and symbols of your dreams and most sacred waking-life experiences, offering you the opportunity to dive deep into the conversation that the world is radiantly open to having with you. DIALOGUES WITH NATURE encompass a variety of practices that support you in reclaiming your innate capacity to communicate with other-than-human beings. We will explore dialogue through speech, poetry, song, imagery, and movement. SELF-DESIGNED CEREMONY is a powerful way of putting all this together, anchoring your everyday life in your experiences with the sacred. We will help each other design individual ceremonies from life-transition themes, dreams, deep imagery journeys, archetypes and myths, soul task experiences, and nature dialogues. You will discover how ceremony is perhaps the most effective way to speak to the Sacred Other in its native language of symbol, image, and embodiment.
