18 Dec Evidence Informed Magic for Collective Liberation
This 3 hour class is divided into three sections.
I: HISTORICAL CONTEXT
In this section we will:
-Explore the history of magic as an ancestral esoteric art rooted in traditional cultural practices and ancient intuitive ways of knowing.
-Discuss the historical disenchantment of magic practice – specifically how magic has been actively oppressed across the globe by patriarchal colonizing forces over the last two thousand years, including political-religious movements during the witch burning times and the Age of Discovery, as well as secular cultural movements that arose during the Enlightenment, which birthed the rise of a hyer-rationalism, individualism, and materialistic scientific world views.
-Explore how these historical movements have shaped the industrialized west and led to our collectively held ancestral wounds of disenchantment.
II: EVIDENCE INFORMED MAGIC
In this section we will:
-Define magic within a scientific and historical framework.
-Explore modern research findings within various cutting-edge fields of study including: quantum physics, collective and expanded consciousness, parapsychology, biofield, somatics, heart coherence, distance healing, epigenetics, cellular memory, channeling, and more.
III: COLLECTIVE LIBERATION
In this section we will:
-Explore practice applications for the evidence presented in section II with an emphasize on collective healing and sustainable activism.
-Practice experiential energetic and somatic techniques to illustrate concepts from the above sections.
-Discuss ways to facilitate the destigmatization of magic, as well as how magic can be used as a collective practice for global paradigm shifting and ancestral healing.
If you are witch-curious and love exploring the intersections of science and spirituality, through a lens of social justice and cultural healing – while combining experimental data with experiential learning – then this class is for YOU!
EVIDENCE INFORMED MAGIC FOR COLLECTIVE LIBERATION will be shared by with Portia Richardson.
