In-Person Tree Journey Workshop, Dr Rosalind Watts

 ‘The Douglas Fir’ is a 20 minute guided imagery journey, set to beautiful bespoke musical composition, designed to help strengthen  our mycelial connectedness to local community.  The journey will be followed by a sharing circle. These workshops are part of the ACER global online psychedelic integration course, and are very rarely offered in person, so do come along to experience the power of Dr Watts’ Tree Journeys in real life, and to take your seat in the circle of the ever-growing Frome community of Connectedness  

Community Psychedelic Integration Circles - Healing for the Whole, Justine Corrie

Psychedelic comes from psyche (life; spirit; soul) and delic (to make manifest, to reveal and make visible). Psychedelics manifest soul, they make spirit visible, they reveal life itself. 

Integration (the root word of which is entire), is defined as the restoration to wholeness; the process of renewal; the making up of a whole by combining the separate parts or elements.

People have long-gathered in circle to share, ground and integrate expansive states. Many indigenous cultures have, throughout history, known the importance of bringing back home, the insights, visions and trials, into circle, to support growth, healing and renewal - not only for the individual but for the whole community and for the natural world that they are a part of.

Justine’s talk will explore the importance and practice of community integration circles and how these spaces can support the shared understanding & grounding of expanded states, and so foster growth, healing & ultimately connection to self, one another and to the world we are a part of.

Sunday 8th October, 11-2pm: Sunday Soul Service (then gallery open until 11pm)

Sunday Soul Service with Lana Jagger and Jade Gaia involves coming together in circle to support the healing, liberation and empowerment of one another in sacred ceremony. Through this ancient and timeless practice, we break down the boundaries of our separateness, and serve each other as compassionate witnesses and reflections. In the circle, we are free to express ourselves authentically and honestly with no fear of judgement. Social roles and labels are left at the door and we each enter into a safe container where: we are seen, we are heard and we are held.

What To Expect

Opening & Cleanse

Opening prayer and smudging cleanse of your energetic body. 

Consecration 

In the service, we will work with Ceremonial Cacao concocted into a warm and soothing drink. Cacao is an ancient medicine which floods the body with healing compounds to facilitate deep relaxation, emotional release, and the opening of the heart centre.

Intention 

Everyone in the circle will have the opportunity to share their intention for the ceremony with the group, this may be something you wish to release, or something you wish to call into your life to support your dreams.

Soul Journey 

We will then take you on a guided soul journey, with immersive sound healing, to clear unconscious blocks in the psyche, to tune in deeply to the wisdom of your heart, and to receive inner guidance from your soul. 

Sharing & Celebration 

Upon returning from the soul journey, everyone will have the opportunity to share and integrate their experiences with the group. 

Finally, we will celebrate with uplifting medicine music to give our thanks to Spirit for the opportunity to heal and rise together. Everyone is invited to participate fully, bringing their own unique voice forward in a collective sound. We will close the service with a prayer. 

Stepping together, hand in hand, into conscious unity is one of the most powerful acts of healing and activism we can do. Through circle and ceremony, we participate in the redemption of the human spirit, in the hope of a brighter, more colourful future for our planetary home.

Please bring: A yoga mat, a pillow, a warm blanket, a notepad and pen, water and a piece of fruit to eat at the end of the ceremony if you would like.

Following the transformative Sunday Soul Service, ease into a blissful afternoon of psychedelic displays and projections by world-renowned digital artists. This is your chance to connect with kindred spirits, bask in the creative energy, and share meaningful moments in our vibrant community.

Monday 9th / Tuesday 10th / Wednesday 11th October, 12pm - 11pm: Gallery Open and Jam Session

These final days of the exhibition are an invitation to weave your own melody into the vibrant tapestry of our collective spirit, forging connections that resonate far beyond the walls of the gallery. (Drop in exhibition, no tickets required)

Speakers, Musicians, Artists and Facilitators

Harry Pack

Harry Pack is a British multi-media artist who renders surreal depictions of alternate dimensions that seek to engage and activate the unconscious mind of the viewer.

His practice, which spans painting, drawing and digital mediums, reflects themes of human perception and psyche, influenced by psychedelic culture.
His work encourages the viewer to turn their mind from the fragility of the material world and towards a contemplation of something more stable and infinite. The kaleidoscopic paintings depict a visual realm at once fantastical, foreign and strangely familiar. Three-dimensional, dream-like landscapes composed of fractal shapes and ordered geometric patterns are populated by extra-terrestrial forms: strange humanoids, anthropomorphic machines, animals and plant-life moving purposefully throughout spaces that operate as portals into the personal and psychological.

His work is a vessel for self-exploration and understanding as he examines his past through older eyes.

Natalie Dixon

Natalie Dixon is a self-taught artist based in London, UK. Her childhood mainly involved drawing pictures and writing words next to them; not much has changed. Initially a writer more than an artist, she suppressed her visual side until a personal crisis revealed that some things are beyond words. An emotional landscape unfolded, and she began painting in earnest, drawing on a palette discovered in earlier travels: the breadth and beauty of nature, and the world of visionary and psychedelic art. Her art is a work of integration, mapping nature to emotion, soul to matter, and stories to the human form.

Since 2020 she has exhibited online and at festivals (Noisily, Something Different, Lovejam Campout, Anthropos), enjoying the opportunity for inspiration and direct connection.

Jake Ewen

Jake Ewen is an artist and designer based in Somerset, UK. Having exhibited his work in several group shows, you may also have seen his visionary creations decorating the fields of both Glastonbury and Medicine festivals.

Under the banner of Wylderness Arts, Jake creates mesmerising, totemic interpretations of animal spirits and otherworldly beings. Striking, yet ambiguous, highly detailed, yet intangible, Jake’s work depicts fleeting spirits that seem to emerge and sink back into the field of their environment, drawing the viewer into a dreamlike state, of ebbing and flowing forms.

Jake’s work stems from a lifelong fascination with algorithmic art, altered states of consciousness and the hidden workings of the brain. As part of his creative process he uses a convolutional neural network to mimic aspects of the human brain’s perceptive functioning. The resultant images are then digitally manipulated before further processing, and repeatedly worked on in this way to bring out the spirit of his subject.

Sandra Surdu

Sandra Surdu is a visionary artist, creative writer and ceremonialista, currently living in London. 

Her paintings have been described as a fusion of figurative art with surrealism influences, a transcendental journey through lucid dreaming, weaving spiritual symbolism and sacred geometry rhythms. Through this medium her intention is to soften the chaos of our reality and dissolve concepts of separation and duality, envisioning a new earth through creation and connection – a communication through art that will bring more gentleness, tranquillity,equilibrium and equanimity to a decadent and senseless evolving society. By nurturing the grace dwelling inwardly she artistically awakens the most intense essence of her creativity. 

Over an aesthetic and decorative purpose, she wishes with her art to inspire, heal and empower, and boundlessly to encourage the creative process within every being —a wild imagination, to take form, contour and color, setting free the magic and the fantasy beyond rational and conventional, embracing the beauty and the uniqueness of oneself consciousness.

Koupzkami 

Koupzkami aka Chris Cooper creates atmospheric emotive instrumental productions experimenting with different instruments and sounds, taking influence from a hugely eclectic range of sounds from psychedelic, world, folk and classical through to hip hop, soul, dub, dance, and jazz.

Scarlett Butters

Growing up by the Atlantic coast of North Devon, Scarlett has always had a deep affinity with the wild land.  Since childhood  she has been musing with this love and kinship for living earth through her hands and heart in some way. Watercolour painting in particular has been the chosen practice in recent years in how to attempt to communicate her relationship to the breathing, interwoven intimacy of life.

Her work is driven by a deep longing and remembrance for a life that is lead by devotion to our ancestors, our bodies, each other and our more than human kin.

Scarlett hopes that her images provide doorways to inner worlds that help weave us back into the humming fabric of life and open eyed, soulful wonder of belonging.
