Sacred Journey & Pilgrimage around Koli and Lake Pielinen | Guided by Anna-Katariina Hollmérus & Helena Karhu
Join us for a sacred nature-spiritual pilgrimage around Lake Pielinen, one of Finland’s largest and most revered lakes, nestled in the ancient Koli region of North Karelia.
This is a possibility for you to deepen your animistic-shamanic, eco-spiritual life-world by learning about ritual and ceremonial work, as well as about shamanic journey work, from Anna-Katariina and Helena. Or perhaps you join us just connect to nature in deeper way, and to walk the path of peace of nature. Most of all, we all will learn directly from nature, as we visit for honoring together these incredible natural sites. We visit sites, where our ancestor shamans, sages, wise women and men have done their contemplations and healing work for hundreds and even thousands of years.
This year Anna-Katariina invites us to especially deepen our work with our own voice, and how it connects to the rhythms, frequencies, and tones of Mother Earth. You will learn more about the ceremonial and ritual use of voice, and how your heart opens through your own sound.
