SUMMARY:The Language of the Land: Communicating with the Spaces Around Us
DESCRIPTION:How can we humans connect and communicate with the lands near us? Forests\, rural areas\, farmlands\, battlegrounds\, cities – all have a symbolic communication system that can be learned. Join us as we dive into techniques that help provide a personal system for creating a language that’s more than just spontaneous intuition. We’ll explore the data\, both repeatable and observable (via omens\, the behavior of flora and fauna\, etc.). Discussion of the evolution of a land area will also be included\, as well as the careful debate of what really is an “invasive” species? \n\n\n\nTo register\, click here. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: \n\n\n\nRev. Monika Kojote is a Druid shaman serving the North American\, Ireland\, European Union\, and United Kingdom communities for over 14 years. Monika uses she/her pronouns and is a member of the hearing-impaired community (ASL-inclusive). In her practice\, she works consistently to create safe & sacred space for all marginalized and disabled populations. Her education & experience ensure that she is a trauma-informed clergy person and healer. \n\n\n\nAlthough she is based in Washington County (Maryland)\, her in-person services and workshops span the East Coast & Mid-Atlantic regions. Her practice includes individual and group/family ceremonies\, as well as house clearings\, journey workshops\, spiritual mentoring\, divination\, and clergy services(weddings\, baby blessings\, end-of-life care\, and funerals). \n\n\n\nMonika uses the term “shaman” as a job title\, describing healing that occurs in ethical relationship with Spirits. Her ancestry and personal spirituality reflect the practices of the Indo-Europeans; she follows a Druid path. \n\n\n\nMonika received her master’s degree in forensic psychology in 2005\, and has over 20 years experience working in the public domain of health & human services. She has extensive spiritual training\, including her master level certification in Usui Reiki\, completion of a 2.5 year program from Gryphons Grove School of Shamanism (now closed)\, soul retrieval\, Druid Apprentice training programs from AODA \, and training in Nepalese healing techniques from her jhankri\, Bhola Banstola.
