#### **Enhancing Tools and Practices for Animist Practitioners and Seekers**

**9 Thursdays, June 22-August 17 2023 4pm-5:20pm PT/AZ *ONLINE through zoom***

**Create Personal Practices for Connecting/Earthing/Offering/Listening with implements/tools**

**Implement:**

1. any article used in some activity, especially an instrument, tool, or utensil
2. to fulfill, perform, carry out

**Ally**

1. to unite formally
2. to enter into an alliance
3. to work together for some common cause or purpose
4. a member of the same family

When one practices something of importance, one often needs tools/implements to help us. As Animists we know that a tool/implement is not “just” a “thing”, as tools of choice have their own “life”, and can become a trusted ally of the practitioner/seeker.

During this series we will explore shared learning, connected guidance, rhythmic journeying/meditation, and synchronicity we will listen for guidance and insight regarding the tools/implements that are ready to come into our sacred life. We will also share time for creation of these tools that call to be created/gathered. This series might be helpful to anyone, and it is specifically designed for those who come from a wounded, atrophied or severed connection to their animist ancestry.

**Creating Personal “Practices” that are Authentic and Power-filled**
