ACP 2: The
Dance
of Emotion and Passion
Exploring
the quality of aliveness, the
expressive
capacity in the body and emotional palette we use to interpret our
authentic response to the
world. After exploring the development of
these qualities in western culture and our lives, we will look at
how Celtic and other traditional cultures translate this aliveness into
a rich quality of life. |

ACP 3: The
Power
and Politics of Sexuality
Well-developed sexual
expression provides fertile ground
for creativity, nourishing the entire physical, emotional and mental
wellbeing of the person. It is at the very core of the self and
very powerful medicine. Loss of the sacred feminine principle
found in nature has had a huge impact on both men and women. "The more
separated we become from the Earth, the more hostile we become to the
feminine." We will draw healing from Celtic tradition

ACP 4: You
in Your
Sentient World
Contrasting one's often separate and alienated place in
western culture we consider the interdependence of Celtic cultures with
tribal members, plants, animals and the land on which they live. In
particular we'll look at rights of passage, where fear is faced,
strength, heart and courage tested, leading to that greatest of all
lessons: self-knowledge.
