The Secret Life of Places 

Some places invite you in. Some places make you feel anxious. Some places are alive with sacred energy and some feel neglected and abused.

 

When a place is trapped in a certain pattern, the people who live there and love it are affected as well. The land around Ananta Sacred Space has long been part of a repeating pattern of trauma. The last and bloodiest battle of the Civil War was nearby in Corbera. In 1948 an air

line crashed in Gandesa, and recently the land has been scarred by deforestation and energy pylons.

 

In this workshop we will explore the living energy of the ancient land around Ananta Sacred Space and together offer personal stories, ceremony, and collaborative, spontaneous art to uncover and heal old wounds. In the process, you may find that old and frozen places in yourself are touched and healed as well. You will also learn practices and meditations that you can take home to transform your own homelands. The program will include a special visit to Corbera d’Ebre.

 

Workshop leader Trebbe Johnson is the founder of Radical Joy for Hard Times, a global community devoted to finding and making beauty in the wounded places of the Earth.
