Presentation Summary -

How do we connect with the intelligences in nature? Michael will give an introduction to a range of nature beings including dryads, garden fairies, landscape devas and the overlighting devas for individual species. As well as resources for several methods for connecting with them including, Perelandra, shamanic journeying, meditation and offerings. Michael is the founder of the Fairy & Human Relations Congress and has rubbed elbows with many people who work with nature intelligences.

Alice Stroud, Panelist
Pachamama Alliance
Presentation Summary -

My presentation is an introduction to the Pachamama Alliance, whose mission, given to us in the West by the Achuar tribe in the Ecuadorian Amazon and combining indigenous wisdom with modern knowledge, is to "awaken the dreamer" within us and to "change the dream" from that of modern civilization and separation (with its dire consequences for the earth) to a dream of oneness and harmony, supporting personal and collective transformation. An outdoor meditation follows.
