Vision of the Ancestors - New Year Ritual
Wednesday 6/1/2027 18:00 to Sunday 10/1/2027 14:00
Management: Ursula Seghezzi,
Location: uma institut seminar centre in Beseland
Three days of immersing oneself in a deep space of connection with the spiritual realm across all times and into all landscapes – with the request for powerful (personal and collective) visions for 2027!
After almost 20 years of performing the New Year ritual in much the same way, Ursula feels called to open up the space at the beginning of the new year on a much deeper level than before. For new things emerge all by themselves the better we are connected to the source of all life, to our past history, to the forces of the landscape, to the allies from the more-than-human world. In these turbulent times, it is vital to believe that ANYTHING is possible.
Opening up to deep spaces, dreaming, looking, listening
Solo nature walks, sharing in the circle, empowering rituals, immersion in European myths, honouring and letting go of the past, quiet times for lingering, and a taster nature walk into the new. A guiding annual theme will find you. We open ourselves not only to personal healing and visions, but also pray for collective healing and visions for our time. In this sense, we also meet in this ritual to pray for the world, in service to the living.
To meet the ancestors down to the primeval depths
(If enough cars are available), on the first day we will travel to a forest by the Elbe (approx. 40 mins from Beseland) and visit our early Neolithic ancestors at their great dolmen. A tethering to the roots of our human existence.
Asking the bear spirit for healing power and visions
The bear is the primordial ancestor of our landscape. He drums for the vast space of connectedness beyond time and space. We are preparing for this on the second day.
Quiet times
You will also be spending a lot of time on your own, on nature walks or spending the entire third day in silence at the location. Together we will lift the messages for the new year.
Number of participants
The number of participants is limited to 16 (single rooms are only available if the group is not fully booked!)
PrerequisitesWe are opening ourselves to deep spaces. This also always means that personal themes, grief, and things that are hard to bear may surface. You are invited to bring them, and they will also be held within the ritual. However, the ritual is explicitly NOT a therapeutic process. That means the responsibility for self-guidance lies with the participants themselves.
Costs
Seminar fees, based on self-assessment, range from 450 to 660 euros (including 19% VAT).
Plus accommodation and full board in a twin room (including 7% VAT). You can find the current prices here.
