Welcome to a Journey into Consciousness
Join us for an immersive journey into the rich history and profound significance of the Lotus Flower.
Over the course of our weekend intensive, we delve deep into its ancestral roots and the intricate tapestry of human consciousness it has woven through dreams into the fabrics of culture in human history.
This is an exploratory intensive, where we commune with these plants as a community.
Plantcestor:
an ancient living organism that are predecessors to the human kingdom, which depends on them to survive for food, breath, medicine, fire, shelter, and more. Through their intimate daily relationships to humans for many centuries, they have acted as vessels of ancestral, elemental, and *cosmic* knowledge, folklore, culture, history, and memory, and have been utilized to support the spiritual and earthly well-being of humans for many generations.
They are our ancestor's ancestors, amongst the earliest and most ancient beings whose livelihood, sacrifices, and brilliance has made human & animal life possible upon this Earth.
Through intentional and reciprocal cultivation and respectful relationship with these diverse and multi-dimensional allies, humans have been able to access the masterful and mysterious healing miracles and deep wisdom afforded by these highly intelligent ancestors, towards greater alignment with our own authentic purpose, greater wholeness, peace, and balance with the natural order of the universe that ensures and sustains all life. This wisdom of “plants as ancestors” is practiced and tended by Indigenous and traditional peoples from all over the globe, rooted in and passed down by the original ways of our ancestors.
Terminology coined by Layla Kristy Feghali
“And thou didst symbolize the deathless power. That under all decaying forms lies hid, The old world worshipped thee, O Lotus flower, Then carved its sphinx and reared its pyramid.”
