Ravish Me Earth!

You my love are the millions of flowers that have reached my gaze

You are the endless choruses of birds that have serenaded the fabric of my hearing

Each note the call of your devotion

You my love are the resplendent hues that I forget until I remember

You are the hundred shades of green

You are lime, jade, olive and emerald.

Beloved your arms have embraced me with moss and twigs

your ancient roots have carried my secrets into underground cathedrals

I have planted my dreams inside your soil

I have seeded my longings into your terracotta womb

over and over

(Winter Jade Icely)

Ravish me earth! is a four week online journey where earth is our beloved.

We traverse wild landscapes and dip into endless oceans of embodied life.

This experience is designed to enter your body heart and mind, to reveal the nature of nature, the ecstatic belonging in your bones.

Do you give your consent to be ravished open by this earth?

Together we consummate the relationship between you and this sacred planet.

Through ritual, embodiment experiences, meditations, visual journeys and general ravishment we will explore the following themes:

Merging with nature: A journey into the ecstatic heart of the earth beloved. An inner union with the wild inside us.

Rooted by the earth: Meeting the penetrative powers of the earth inside our bodies, vibrating to the pulse of primal ecstasy.

Beyond earth: Consummation behind the form.

What if your greatest love affair was right outside your door?

Your wild green guides for the journey:

Winter- has been in a committed, long- term relationship with earth for over forty years. Although old lovers now, she still finds new and surprising ecstatic moments each day that reach into her heart and crack her to the core.

"You my beloved are a keeper of the countless

My endless births and deaths

Failings and transformations

for the billions of memories that I no longer recall

You hold them all for me inside rock, bark and clay.

Underneath roots and waves

Between petals

Ours is an ancient love."

(Winter)

Aleasha- stared dating nature way back as a teen, the forest river and animals becoming intimately intwined in her daily life carried through into a robust and throughout relationship.

After 20 years traveling the globe all nature is her intimate beloved.

She encountered the dreamtime and ritual spaces through her time in wild places, cultivating her own unique setting for such communion. This is a lifelong affair, the ever changing seas, the winds sensual caress and footprints in the sand whispering of mysterious encounters in the night.
