Lecture Day. ART DAY. Pilgrimage. FRACTAL EVENT.
The word “oracle” comes from the Latin word “oraculum,” which means both a prophecy made by a god (or spiritual person) and the place where the prophecy is given—LIKE A COMPASS – it establishes both a place and a person attempting to forecast a prophetic direction.But most true oracles are not trying to predict the future as much as they are attempting to help grow then person. For example, the most famous oracle from Delphi was was not only known for “shaping the destiny” of entire nations, armies, religions, and dynasties, but of giving guidance to average pilgrims on their way to self-revelation, better decisions, and higher consciousness.
The world’s great oracles notoriously delivered prophecy in the form of ambiguous suggestion, rhyme, riddle, or poetic verse so that the receiver had to become aware of their own shadow, bias, fears or assumptions—meaning the task at hand was to actually take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for one’s own destiny—for it was (and is) never shaped OUTSIDE of us, but INSIDE of us—meaning we are each responsible for our own reading and “causing” of reality.
Most oracles were providing an opportunity for people to come into their own power by realizing that they are filtering all information through their expectation. And that their consciousness or their own innate virtue and kindness would flavor their perception. The oracles were attempting to teach people to stop being passive in their fate. For when we bow to the power and authority of outside oracles, we are deciding to be a follower rather than a leader in the timeline of our own lives. And what forms reality more than anything is the consciousness and kindness quotient that we FILTER all data through.
THE WORLD IS NOT AS IT IS, BUT AS WE ARE.
Becoming one’s own oracle is the exact reason for making art and meditating on that art– because it gives us insight into the magnetic structure of our oncoming timeline and our internal filtration system. So our time at St. George retreat will include the process of using meditation, movement, and breathwork to enter into an “altered-state” for art-making—and then using that same art (in an infinitied way) to induce a daily trance state. This creates an ongoing creative relationship to one’s own intuition and core gifts tied to manifestation.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included.
