SUMMARY:The Dryad Way Workshop
DESCRIPTION:WAKE UP YOUR IMAGINATION AND WAKE UP YOUR LIFE. Friday 25th April 9.30am till 4pm Bridgwater  \nIt’s time to connect to nature and fire up your life. This one-day experimental workshop is designed to connect you to the Dryad life of the forest and the magical spirit that lies within us and nature. We will work with the Dryad Story\, the portals of nature and images which will fire up our imagination. \nThere will be time for lunch and reflection. \nOur creativity is constantly creating a sense of the world that we are living in\, we can sometimes feel as if we are creative only when it relates to a product for sale. When we learn to trust the imaginative process something very interesting emerges. We start to experience the embodied imagination which can in turn start to wake up our life. \nBecky Wright – Workshop Facilitator\nBecky is passionate about helping others find joy and self-awareness\, teaching courses in meditation\, self-confidence\, and resilience. Combining this with her love for Dryad Gin\, she trained as a distiller\nand crafted her first bottle in summer 2022\, bringing people together through meaningful connections. When not distilling\, Becky researches new botanicals and enjoys nature. She graduated from The Awen Training School with Ian Rees. The training works on development of the creative imagination and involves contemplating the roots of inspiration and the capacity of the imagination to heal and transform ourselves and the world. She studied under Ram Dass\, Ajahn Santacitto\, and Tim Freke. \nNo booking link so its an email to hello@dryadgin.co.uk its £85.00 per person
