accidental gods gatherings
online short courses for 2024
dreaming your year awake
Sunday 5th January 2025
2025 is the midpoint of this transformative, transitional decade. Each year, as the old paradigm crumbles away, the rate of change grows faster, the shifts less easy to predict.
How can we all best ride this wave of total transformation? How can we bring the best of ourselves to meet the unpredictable fluidity of our world with grace and courage? Who are our communities of place, passion and purpose and how do we connect with them?
Dreaming your Year Awake offers a structured space where we can explore these questions alone and in small groups. This is a time to look back at where we’ve been, to see with clear eyes the ways the old world is falling away and then to imagine into being the new ways of becoming and belonging we yearn for.
In this four-hour online Gathering, you’ll have time to reflect, to balance yourself in the moment and and to craft imaginal routes down the ghost-lines of tomorrow so that you can bring the best of yourself to this unfolding year in a way that will last long beyond the first flush of resolutions.
This Gathering is for anyone who wants to start 2025 with a clear, strong intent: for ourselves and, through us, for the rest of the web of life.
It’s for dreamers, explorers, and anyone who comes with good heart.
No experience expected or required.
brightening your suns, polishing your shields, deepening your roots
Sunday 16th March 2025
In this four hour online Gathering we will explore:
– How to harmonise the energies at our core
– How to balance our suns, clean out the unwanted energies and then make sure that our shields let out what we choose to let out and let in what we choose to let in?
– How to make – and then trust – those choices
– How to truly become the Hollow Bone, joining the Heart of the Earth to the Heart-mind of the Universe through our own hearts, in a way that keeps us fully vibrant
We’ll explore different techniques for assessing the current balance/imbalance of our suns and shields and then for clearing/cleaning and re-balancing to bring them into dynamic harmony. We’ll look at ways to ensure that’s what’s ours stays ours and how we can remain resilient in the face of other energies.
This Gathering is intended primarily for those who are members of Accidental Gods or who are engaging with the practices of Dreaming Awake, but if you’re interested in coming along and you’re not already a part of these, please be familiar with the concept of suns (chakras) as a baseline.
**Note***
This is the 2nd iteration of this course. We will cover broadly the same things as the previous one in the summer of 2024 so that we can gather people for an advanced course on 7th September 2025. Attending one of the basics *will* be a prerequisite of the advanced. If you already took this course last year but would like a refresher before joining the September course, feel free to come along again.
Dreaming your soul’s purpose
Sunday 11th May 2025
Do you know what it is you came here to do? Has it become the driver for every part of your life?
If you do have a sense of purpose, do you have strategies to stay true to it when the world is clamouring for your time and attention?
In this gathering we will explore how we might recognise our purpose calling to us through the fog of daily life. Through meditations, visualisations and small group sharing, we will develop a felt sense of our calling so that we can tap into it whenever life feels as if it’s pushing us off track.
No experience expected or required.
Becoming a Good Enough Ancestor
Sunday 6th July 2025
We don’t own the earth, we rent it from future generations. And just now, we are not handing them the best futures we could.
How do we find the inner grounding, the integrity, courage, foresight and sheer strength to embody our Soul’s Path and step forward into the world, laying our part of the foundations for a future that works for all life?
This course will build directly on the work of the Soul’s Purpose Gathering in May – though if you have a clear sense of your soul’s purpose and want ideas of how to carry it forward, you are welcome to come along.
No experience expected or required.
Suns, Shields and Roots – Advanced
Sunday 7th September 2025
This Gathering will refresh the baselines of shifting your awareness through and beyond your body and will then expand this to explore specific locations and timelines in greater depth and with greater precision, increasing our fluency and the engagement of our practice.
By the end of this Gathering, our intention is that you’ll be able to ignite your suns individually and as a tree with precision and power, that you’ll be able to find solid grounding through your roots and that you will understand of the functions of all three shields so that you can make informed heart-mind choices about how they function.
**Please do not book onto this unless you have completed at least one of the Basic Suns, Shields and Roots Gatherings and are have practiced the exercises we explored so that you are fully fluent**
dreaming your death awake
Sunday 2nd November 2025
How do you feel when you look forward to death? Do you have a real sense of life as a precious, magical, emergent experience, that inspires every waking and sleeping moment? If not, what would it take to fall in love with living, so that not a moment of this life has passed without celebration?
Death is our ultimate teacher: If we can learn how to live with full awareness, then our death becomes a rite of passage, met with grace, gratitude and integrity.
In this 4 hour online Gathering at Samhain, we will explore how to fall in love with life, and how to prepare for this ultimate (at least for this time around) rite of passage in ways that enrich and enliven each passing day.
This Gathering is for anyone who wants to explore the pathways to a life well lived, in the context of a death well met.
It’s for anyone who comes with good heart. No experience expected or required.
