Description: In this explorative and playful workshop, we bring the Wheel of the Four Directions in motion through sound, storytelling and movement. We will use rituals to integrate our experiences. Together we will explore the theme "Unfolding the Wisdom". WellWork is led by Santjes Oomen and team inspired by systemic constellation work and Shamanic rituals between the physical and non-physical worlds.

Based on the questions that each participant brings, we create rituals that help us to connect to our roots, where we belong, and what it means to share our gifts. Through the cyclical teachings of the Wheel of the Four Directions and the insights that unfold from The Found in Transition wheel — 81 symbolic, archetypal images that Santjes painted — we make resources available that support and strengthen our place on the Wheel of Life.

On this day, we will walk around the Wheel of the Four Directions beginning in the East - Inspiration to Begin Again; moving to the South - Coming into Your Power; to the West - Following the Path Inward; and the North - Arriving in Quiet Wisdom.

Like dreaming, this is guided work, so we never know exactly what will happen. We follow the energy of the group field. The medicine of the four directions will hold the foundation as we use the qualities in the group to explore insights and resources to support us. Through the group field, this work can restore connection between inner and outer worlds.

If you register but are not able to attend, your registration fee can be rolled over as a credit towards a future WellWork session.

Scholarships are available upon request. Please send a text message to Santjes at 508-228-9939.
