the three-way alliance
Nature, Humanity and the Sidhe
with Jeremy Berg, Ron Hays, Asha Hossain
overview
March 13 - April 16
This five-week online course is designed to help us better engage with the sentient, natural world in a conscious way. Working with the Sidhe can help us do this.
One of the fundamental problems we face as modern Humanity is our increasing disconnection from nature. As a species, we have shielded ourselves from some of the harsher aspects of the natural world like extreme weather, food shortages, and disease. But, these same successes on an individual scale are leading to adverse global reactions. The very technologies we have employed for our benefit are causing even more extreme weather, potentially massive food imbalances, and as we saw in the recent Covid pandemic, new diseases. We are polluting and degrading our life-giving home and all the life around us.
No new technology will save us. As Einstein noted we cannot solve a problem with the mindset that created it. Unless we learn to engage with our natural supporting ecologies in new, conscious, and creative ways we are doomed to fail. This requires a new spiritual approach that values wholeness and sees the beings of the natural world as co-incarnate participants in a sacred commons, deserving of respect and support.
Description
This five-week online class will start with a basic introduction to the Sidhe. Jeremy Berg will offer an introductory webinar to describe a method of contact with the Sidhe using the Card Deck of the Sidhe as a portal.
Participants should own or may purchase the Card Deck of the Sidhe here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/lorianpress/. The Manual for the card deck will be provided in PDF format on the class site.
Personal examples, methods, and experiences of working with the Sidhe will be offered by Jeremy Berg, Ron Hays, Asha Hossain, and possibly David Spangler through live webinars, video, audio, and written presentations. There will be ample opportunities to engage and discuss this material and offer your own ideas and wisdom.
It is expected that participants will attempt to engage with the Sidhe and with their natural surroundings and share their insights and experiences.
Note: We ask that each participant in the class bring to our gathering a project of some kind that would enhance your personal and our collective world.
