The Spiral Bridge workshop: creating astral structures for enhanced Nature communication

ABOUT

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Presented for the first time in South Africa by visiting teacher from the UK, Paul Martin Strode, this is a half-day workshop in creating your own Spiral Bridge, an energetic or astral structures for enhanced Nature communication. The workshop includes a light lunch at the beautiful Green Café at Kwendalo, which uses seasonal, organic ingredients grown on site and locally sourced.

Energetic or astral structures are a valuable and important technology for meditation, ritual, ceremony, and for communicating with Nature in any other form. This has been recognised in almost every spiritual tradition worldwide, for millennia. Now, as humanity begins to remember its indigenous roots and rekindle its ability to co-create with Nature, our ways of engaging with the unseen also need to evolve, including our ways of working energetically.

The Spiral Bridge is one such approach, developed by Paul in collaboration with the intelligence of Nature. This is a technique and type of energy structure that offers shamanic healing and creates a safe, sacred space in which Nature Spirit allies can be channelled for healing. It supports the development of intuition, and is safe to use for both self-healing and the healing of others. For people who offer any type of remote or distant healing, it is a perfect add-on framework to their existing practice which creates a safe energetic container that shields from external interferences whilst anchoring Nature into the healing.

Paul is an eloquent teacher and entertaining storyteller, so this promises to be a fun, lively, interactive event!

This workshop is for all levels of experience and will teach you how to create and develop a clear, efficient, and safe container for intuitive communication with animals, plants, insects, microbes, water, rocks, stars, nature spirits and any other non-human Nature - the principles are the same.

PRESENTERS

Paul Martin Strode

Over the past 25 years, Paul has developed a deeply intuitive connection with Nature through personal endeavours and healing work. His belief is that, since we originate from Nature and are a part of it, it makes sense to rekindle our connection to Nature, as surely It is at the heart of our healing.

Paul’s approach to healing is collaborative, and Nature spirit is always present. He uses Craniosacral Therapy (various trainings since 1997), his own British Wild Flower Essences established in 1999, and astral structures for remote shamanic healing. Since 2005, he’s specialised in working with newborn babies, children, and animals, particularly horses. He has also undertaken a Dolphin Assisted Bio Aquatic CST course for paediatrics with disabilities in Turkey 2010.

In addition to his healing work, he offers workshops and courses to enable clients to operate their own Spiral Bridge - the astral structure he developed co-creatively with Nature, as a tool to create a virtual safe space to communicate with Nature and receive healing from It.

With over 27 years of clinical experience, Paul’s intention is to bring warmth and enthusiasm to his healing work, and enjoys helping others find their path to wellness.

Dr Saskia von Diest

Saskia is the founder of Ecofluency, as well as consultant, educator, and activist in the field of Nature communication.

Attending an animal communication workshop during her PhD (Plant Pathology) in 2012 sparked her interest in how farmers use intuitive communication with nature to inform practical management decisions. From 2014-2020, she held two postdoctoral fellowships, at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and at Coventry University, UK, to investigate intuitive farming as part of a wider new field of subtle agroecology.

Throughout her postdoctoral years, she further developed her own understanding and practice in communicating with trees, animals, land, nature spirits and ancestors. She’s also trained as a Family Constellations facilitator, in Jikiden (Usui) Reiki, and in the Way of the Warrior Healer for energy field clearings and psychic surgery.

In 2021, she founded Ecofluency, to offer consulting, facilitation, teaching and coaching in Nature communication, and promote other human voices in this field. With 15 years of experience in teaching and facilitating through various forms and in many countries, her passion is creating opportunities for others to have their own experience of communicating with non-human Nature, and develop that for individual and the collective transformation: ecofluency.org
