Belonging: Tending and Collaborating with the Spirits of Place and their fields of influence
Saturday, September 24, 2022 10:00 AM Sunday, September 25, 2022 4:00 PM
Listen….. listen to the gathering susurrus of the wild river, singing like your blood, casting primal spells of Eros through the land, initiating life. Listen to the soughing of the winds caressing the trees, flowers and tall grasses– and you too!– sharing their ancient secrets with the day, sustaining life. Notice the murmuring of the sun catching gold fire through the dawn fields, limning the ears of Rabbit and other furred folk, illuminating life; Sense the quiet whispering of night as all form shapeshifts into dreamtime while the stars exult the wisdom of your fine senses, perpetuating life. Hearken to the chthonic mythbeings inhabiting the fierce liminality in the interstices of your awareness, fertilizing life. And under it all, this mysteriously gathered and uncontainable momentum is rippling ecstatically beneath the skin of the land, east to west; the heart of Earth beating her power and passion into each new day……
With the beauty and participation of your presence, this gathering will offer earth honoring practices and ceremonies to cultivate the deep well of inspiration within you and provide nourishment for you to be available to truly listen with a fertile, receptive imagination coupled with a stable ground; to listen without acquisitiveness or unaware projection; listen as we discover ourselves arriving full-bodied, intimately, discretely, within a lovingly tended reciprocal relationship with the spirits of the land where we actually are, whatever our ancestral inheritance or traditions. These beautiful, wise spirit beings we live among include the human ancestral spirits; the land spirits—vegetative, mineral, animal, elemental, devic, guardian; beings of the hidden kingdom and those of liminal space/time. And they are responsive to our acknowledgment, bringing true magic to our lives.
We will have the opportunity to respectfully greet, commune with and tend these relationships, to learn from and give back to, through the sharing of stories, trance journeys, sound/music/silence, movement, creative rituals and ceremony. Under sun and ancient starlight we will have the opportunity to come into deep community together over the course of a weekend, touching in creative, intimate ways some of the most moving and crucial longings and expressions of our breath and blood; the cosmic patterning in our dreams and bones. What does it really mean to be fully, beautifully human on this wondrous, dreaming earth in sacred relationship with our human and other than human kin, seen and unseen, and how do we effectively bring these relationships home into our families and out into our communities?
Conscious connection and communication between humanity and the other spirit beings of Earth is essential to knowing who we ourselves really are, and thus how to live in balance, for we are intertwined; weaving, dreaming, en-joying, grieving, tending, dying and being born within and through each other, endlessly
Please join us if you can!

“Damaris is the kind of teacher who works and moves beyond any kind of standard or traditional criteria. It’s not enough to say that you, as a student, will do a great deal of learning. It’s more accurate to say that you will change the way you think, feel and move in the universe. It’s like that. It’s that level of teaching. I am profoundly grateful for what I have received through her guidance, wisdom, and friendship. In short, if you want to understand something better, read a book. If. you want to set your reality ablaze, I present Damaris.” — K. Klonowski, Cultural Foundations Educator, Independence, OH
Dr Perry discovered her capacity to address the issues of the body in her first career as a massage therapist. Her degrees in clinical nutrition also inform her practice. She then underwent further intensive training in traditional medicine and Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal manipulation, and as an Osteopathic physician, she now offers hands-on treatment as well as concierge primary care. Osteopathic medicine respects the ability of each body to heal itself. In addition to being used to treat musculoskeletal issues, osteopathic hands-on medicine can be helpful in a number of metabolic or organ dysfunctions. Osteopathic hands-on treatment can help relieve headaches and other pains, improve lymphatic flow, organ function and promote overall health. Dr Perry can also diagnose and prescribe as needed, and works with each client to tailor a custom regime. Her complementary approach tailors a full-spectrum wellness program to address any health challenges. Dr. Perry earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition from Life University in Marietta, Ga., where she was the valedictorian, and a Master of Science degree in clinical nutrition from the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, N.Y. She received her D.O. degree from Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, Va. and completed the Riverside Family Medicine Residency in Newport News, Va.
Full Spectrum Wellness Care Osteopathic Care Package – $600
Osteopathic medicine is the practice of partnering between doctor and patient to achieve optimal health. It teaches that we are a unity of body mind and spirit and that each body is capable of self-healing. Structure and function are interrelated which is why hands-on techniques are used to normalize range of motion, improve the flow of fluids and stimulate each body’s innate powers of repair and rejuvenation. This package includes a 1-hour initial visit and a 1/2 hour follow up visit with Dr. Perry. Discussion, evaluation, education and medical management are included. From back pain and headaches to gallbladder or thyroid issues, any function of the body may benefit from improving bony alignment and removing fascial restrictions. Dr. Perry takes the time to listen and respects each person’s right to make their own informed healthcare decisions.
“She was able to clear up all the residual pain and immobility and taught me some simple exercises that have since cured some joint problems that I thought were from age and arthritis. Dr. Perry has a gift of healing in addition to her education in Osteopathic Medicine. I highly recommend her services.” – Paul Wingren
“Angelica Perry has done wonders to help me understand my body and promote better alignment and balance in my body while promoting healing. A great osteopath and teacher!” – Tara Daystar
