A TRIBUTE TO THE DARKNESS – LANTERNWALK AND BONFIRE
🖤 What is your relationship to the dark and what happens in you when it gets dark? Are you afraid? Does it evoke calmness? How does that feel in your body? And would you like to explore and maybe expand your relationship to the dark?
✨ We live in a light-fetishized world, but actually we humans also need darkness. I sense this longing and need in me, and a desire to give the darkness a little extra attention, before everything in a moment is wrapped in the magnificent white blanket, which I am also looking forward to welcoming.
❄️ So, before the darkness disappears in the snow, I wish to salute the darkness – and I invite you to join me!
🌳 We will stand in the darkness of the forest – sensing and taking it in. How does it feel being in the dark? We will also bring light into the forest with our homemade lanterns and notice what this light does to us and to the darkness.
🔥 In the forest we gather around a bonfire, finding warmth, togetherness and time for reflection in the deep, dark, quiet calmness of the forest.
☕️🏮 There will be hot vegan chocolate and lantern-stuff for everyone (but if possible, bring e.g. a jam jar and decorations)!

❗️ ATTENTION: we count on being around the fire for a while, but if you need company on your way out of the forest before that, please just let me know, and I will help you find company or personally follow you out, at a suiting time 🫶
