WHAT IS FINDING OUR WAY HOME?

​

There is irony in the realization that we live in a world that is more hyper-connected than at any other time in history, while at the same time, there has perhaps never been such a collective feeling of disconnection and isolation.  Yet the realities of climate change and a global pandemic illustrate more poignantly than ever, that we are surely in this together. To say this is to assert a counter-cultural fact in a culture, which values individualism over collectives and even families, making it difficult for us to acknowledge that we need each other; but we do.  
 

     It's in this beautiful and terrible world where traumatic events have become an almost expected part       of our daily newsfeeds, that we all need to find a way through to healing and home – home in a                metaphorical sense, as well as a literal one. 
 

In a psychological and spiritual sense, we too, are “finding our way home;” home to a place where we can find rest and peace for our souls. Home to a place where we feel “found,” no longer lost, partly because we are no longer isolated and partly because we have come home to our Selves via a path of  holding to a core inner integrity regardless of the struggles.

In this series of workshops, Demaris Wehr will share incredible stories from her book, Making It Through,  about Bosnian survivors who not only “made it through“ a terrible war, and sometimes a genocide, but also “made it through“ to a changed life, and ultimately “made it home."  While each story is uniquely different and nuanced, they each illustrate the significance of an unconsciously held "centerpost," a core value, that was essential to the remarkable resilience and recovery of these people who came through so much yet who ultimately found their way home. 

​

Using ritual, reflective writing and artistic creative prompts from her peace building work in Bosnia, Demaris will help you identify your unique "centerpost," the core values that you  unconsciously hold that are essential to finding your way home to that centered place within. Each session will offer ways you can tap into these values to navigate your way through feelings of lostness and isolation to find your way back home to your Self.  While the values may vary for each of us, what they have in common is that they call us along a path that is archetypal and alchemical.  And whatever they are, we can rest assured that they represent the Deep Feminine re-arising where she is most needed.
