This episode is a collaboration with the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival 2021. I chat with Kate Stevens, the Creative Learning Co-ordinator, at the Beacons arts centre, a contemporary theatre and arts venue in the heart of Inverclyde. Kate is one of the workshop facilitators of a series called; creative nature for wellbeing that ran during this year's festival. The Beacon partnered with Belville Community Garden Trust and Mind Mosaic Counselling and Therapy to deliver a series of workshops exploring the connection between our mental health and our relationship with nature. If you have ever wondered what 'creative therapy' may be about and wish to explore beyond the stereotypes of analysis, or that this isn't something you thought you can do, as you're not ‘a creative', then this podcast is for you. Here Kate and I give you first hand experience of a creative therapy workshop centred around the theme of nature. Join in whilst you listen to Kate leading me through two exercises: nature soundscapes where we immerse ourselves in some forest bathing. I find this both relaxing and slightly challenging when asked to make my own sounds to join the forest but it makes for a good discussion afterwards. Kate and I talk through memories and how they are formed as part of a writing exercise relating to my first experience in nature. This podcast is about the joy of sound and creative writing, the ability to connect us with the outdoors from inside our own rooms, whilst giving us tools to enable us to connect with what's going on inside us. Recently I have been connecting with the sounds around me in nature and brought some home to share in this episode.
Shakti Stories: Embodiment, Pleasure, Dreams & Psychotherapy
After a lifetime of devotion to the ways of Mystery, Earth, Soul and Eros, her extraordinary path of Feminine Initiation has brought her to the edge of the long lost mysteries of the wild. Here Kate serves as a guide to the mysteries of Soul by facilitating the remembrance of the Lost Arts of the Feminine. Our modern culture has banished and demonised the primordial power held within our Feminine Eros and its creative expression. We are at a time on the planet where this reclamation is not only possible, but necessary. Kate believes that our creative life force energy, once fully embodied, is the revolutionary force that will change the world. She is devoted to creating alchemical journeys that catalyze the unfurling of the tender and powerful essence of each soul to come forth in service of re-imagining a culture rooted in true love and mythical wildness. At essence, Kate is an Activist, Artist and Alchemist of Eros. She believes the reclamation of our feminine eros – our sexual and creative life force – IS the catalyst for our imminent cultural renaissance. She has created The Dancing Serpent Mystery School as a temple for this revolution of individual and collective awakening. In this episode, we discuss: ~Where is our Holy Yes: How every desire is ushering ourselves closer to ourselves. ~Coming into relationship from a place of deep fulfillment. ~Feeding and tending the transpersonal in relationship.
