Presentation/Workshop with Ana Larramendi – The Hollow Bone
10:00am- Honoring the Nature Spirits and “Spirit of Place”
Presentation by Ana H. Larramendi
Indigenous peoples have long had a deep connection to all things of nature. To them everything is sacred. This comes from having a spiritual tradition that is based on Animism; the belief that all things have a “Spirit”. If we look at nature through “Native Eyes” what do we perceive? Who or what are these animated beings of Earth, Fire, Water and Air? What are the spirits of plants and animals? Not only that, but places have spirits too! What are they, and how can we be in better relationship with them? Together we will explore the Indigenous way of honoring Mother Earth and All our Relations. We will learn ways to practice perceiving the spirits of place and discuss how to be in “Ayni” (a state of reciprocity) with nature through sacred offerings. Learn practical things you can explore in your own back yard!
