What You’ll Learn in These 10 Weeks
Jane will accompany you through a 10-week transformative intensive in which she will take you back in time and evoke the knowledge of heroes, gods, goddesses, wise old trees, and others to help you create enduring inner calm.

Module 1: The Virtue of Presence: Grounding and Deep Living (July 8)

Your first class with Jane will focus on being fully present.

To live well and truly, you must be grounded — and that means knowing yourself completely while you traverse the powerful and enigmatic forces of this world and the Otherworld of the unseen.

You’ll start by studying your relationship with the Earth – the many ways it’s a reciprocal relationship built on mutual respect and affection.

As humans, we face apparently innumerable hazards in the world — and that trust connection can become strained, leaving us afraid and seemingly alone, ambivalent about our existence, detached from our destiny, and disconnected from the Divine source that we serve by achieving our destiny.

This week, you’ll begin researching the magic of Celtic knowledge and techniques for creating chaos and changing your allies, not your enemies.

You’ll practice connecting with Source through the Cauldrons of Energy, which the Celts thought held more soul — your head, heart, and belly — as an antidote to fear and separation.

In this session, you will seek deeper grounding in order to be more present as you:

Work closely with the Cauldron of Warming (also known as Fire in the Belly), the source of your survival — and the power with which you face the world.
Examine the legend of Fintan Mac Bochra and the Hawk of Achill — Fintan Mac Bochra is supposed to have lived for almost 5,000 years and to have witnessed numerous eras in Irish history, making him “the ever-present one.”
Visit Ash, the Celtic World Tree and the unifier of Heaven and Earth, in Fintan for strength and anchoring.
Accept nature’s goodness as a given.
Determine a portion of your soul that you are NOT currently living — and become more conscious of how to be present.
Recover what you’ve lost due to ungroundedness.

Module 2 — Courage: Breaking Fear’s Hold (July 15)

Sometimes making a sacrifice is important to break free from the hold of what keeps you trapped in dread.

This week, you’ll look at how difficulty and challenge may help shape who you become. And, as you’ll learn, your most difficult struggles are usually within yourself.

The Celtic people, as keen observers of nature, saw how turmoil and ruin frequently provided much-needed change to the terrain and rivers.

In times of adversity, it was natural for them to wonder, “How can I modify myself to accord with this new balancing?”

When we deliberately abandon our hubris, like the Celts did, it might inspire bravery to accept new and diverse ways of being.

You’ll also keep working with the Cauldron of Warming, a source of strength, because nothing takes more bravery than putting yourself out there and realizing your destiny — something you can’t do without foundation.

During this session, you will:

Examine the role of struggle in your life — and pay a visit to Holly, the tree that investigates battle-readiness for the difficulties you’ll face.
Look into the Oisin legend. Goes to Faeryland, where Oisin, a Fianna patriot and great warrior, finds himself in a land that wants nothing of him — and gives little to put his mettle to the test.
Recognize fear as an optional reaction.
Discover which inner conflict you are most afraid of in your life.
Determine which sacrifices are worthy.
Accept bravery as an inner energy that draws power from Source.

Module 3 — Joy: The Positive Force in Our World (July 22)

Joy is a live and accessible presence in this world, a maker of earthly existence, and a companion to sadness and loss on an equal footing.

This week, you’ll look at how joy is more than simply an emotional reaction to good fortune; it’s a power that is continually producing kindness in our environment.

Jane will walk you through working with the Cauldron of Motion, which is thought to revolve with the pleasures and tragedies of life. The soul’s desire and destiny are housed and awakened in this cauldron.

You will tend and align your destiny with Source as you tend and align the Cauldron of Motion with Source.

This session will teach you:

How pleasure is a melting and expanding power, but grief seizes and tempers
How to delve into the tale of Deirdre of the Sorrows and comprehend the inextricable link between joy and freedom (saoirse in Gaelic)
How to meet and learn with Honeysuckle, the perfect manifestation of joy’s spreading nature.
How to recognize the available freedoms in your life that you’ve been ignoring
How liberating yourself from the demands of others provides you joy — and how to look forward to joy as a reward for achieving your future
Ways to cultivate and nurture joy when you open your heart to nature’s inherent goodness

Gratitude: Responding to the Promise of Greater Wisdom, Module 4 (July 29)

Gratitude is maybe the best response to anything that comes your way — and hence to the natural order of things.

This week, you’ll learn how appreciation allows you to trust and surrender to the larger wisdom of providence. You’ll learn how expressing thank you and accepting that deeper understanding, especially in times of adversity, may hasten the new life it offers.

Jane will explain how you suffer whenever you stick to a path of conduct that is plainly not prescribed — because you are living and accepting a deception or a false Self on some level. When you are separated from your truth (which is entirely connected with Divine truth), you may feel bereft and sorrowful.

Amid this lesson, you’ll go deeper into harmony with the Cauldron of Motion, which comes from the Sea and helps you maintain your equilibrium in life’s shifting waters.

You will learn:

The tale of the Selkie Bride explores what occurs when the Divine order is disrupted and the soul’s hunger goes unsatisfied.
The Hawthorn tree illustrates the importance of refuge before rebirth.
How to maintain a persistent search for and knowledge of God’s immanence in all things
Methods for maintaining a healthy relationship with nature and the Divine Order
How to discover about a hidden treasure in the sea within you from the selkies (magical folk).
The unbreakable bond between sadness and joy — and how each exists within the other

Module 5 — Humility: Your Direct Line of Communication with the Divine (August 5)

You will acquire direct access to Divine understanding via humility. Because you’ve let go of the urge to know everything, insight and revelation may come to you effortlessly and unexpectedly.

This week, you’ll look at how information may help you feel more at ease in your surroundings as you deal with life’s constant demands.

However, you might get so wedded to what you know that Divine understanding (godly wisdom) becomes obstructed and inaccessible.

Jane will introduce you to the Cauldron of Wisdom (Fire in the Head), which derives its energy from the Sky or Heaven. You’ll discover how humility maintains this cauldron upright and open to receiving, whereas hubris might tip it over.

This session will teach you:

The legend of Diancecht and his son, Mioch, both talented Tuatha de Danaan physicians and healers (magical folk with supernatural powers)
Why did Diancecht’s hubris lead him to murder his son?
Why becoming a master of any skill necessitates prioritizing dedication to the craft over devotion to oneself as the artisan
White Poplar, a tree more closely associated with divine whispers than any other.
How hubris and pride make it impossible for God’s whisper to penetrate — and what it means to be “full of himself”
Untapped potential in your imagination (or pure potential)
Methods for being more tolerant of any personal adversity rather than hiding it with pride
How to be more at ease with not knowing and open the door for Divine insight to enter

Module 6 — Wisdom as a result of adversity and trial (August 12)

While knowledge may be easily obtained via a deliberate study of life, wisdom is frequently bestowed to all of us as a byproduct of adversity and difficulty.

In this session, you’ll discover why genuine wisdom is rarely sought for – since we all know it comes at a cost. Indeed, wisdom has been known to increase when knowledge has either been exhausted or has turned inward on itself.

In this session, you’ll learn why the Celts valued intelligence more than any other virtue.

You’ll also keep invoking the Cauldron of Wisdom, which urges you to lose what you believe you know in order to fill yourself with Divine understanding — the empty bone of core shamanism.

In this session, you will investigate:

The tale of King Cormac, who loses all he loves to learn that a life without hardship is a life deprived of wisdom – and that avoiding misfortune separates us from learning.
How to travel to the 9 Hazel Trees that surround the Well of Wisdom for a crucial truth teaching
Discover a falsehood about yourself that you’ve long believed to be true.
Ways to consider your suffering as a resource from which to extract the gold of wisdom
The wealth you’ve garnered as a result of loss and adversity
A litmus test for detecting truth

Module 7 — Generosity: Openness to Everything Life Requires (August 19)

Generosity is more than simply an outpouring of love and goodwill toward others; it is a receptivity to everything that life asks of you, a back-and-forth flow similar to that of the sea.

In this lesson, you’ll learn what it means to be unattached to outcomes and unattached to expectations of how things “should be” in order for you to be happy – so you may live and love unreservedly.

When you’re not wedded to the outcome, life has greater access to you — and may send you things that will inspire you and open your heart more freely.

The ancient Celts turned to nature’s giving spirit to learn and imitate this natural, rhythmic flow. They liked how nature’s beings succumbed to the elements’ changing activity — and did nothing to resist the changes it brought about.

As Jane will explain, in order to modify your connection with Nature’s change agents – the elements — you must let go of your fear of their ability to dismember your life and yourself and instead appreciate the good balancing forces they give.

This session will teach you:

Strong instances of how humans link so deeply to nature, such as how an inner Water imbalance may leave you feeling ungrounded, unable to create boundaries, yet giving to its weight and intent to rebalance. you can eventually lead to you stating what has to be stated
The enthralling myth of Boann and the Well of Segais — and if it’s a cautionary tale.
How the apple tree may teach you about giving
Methods for letting go of outdated behaviors and beliefs that no longer serve you — and identifying fresh experiences and possibilities that you’re not allowing in.
How Water may go out of balance — and the price of attempting to stop it
New methods of recognizing and accepting life’s generosity

Compassion: Living From the Heart, Not the Head — Module 8 (September 2)

Compassion is a discipline that may free you from bitterness, resentment, conflict, and alienation in many spiritual traditions. It teaches us all how to live from the heart, not the brain.

It is simple to be compassionate toward individuals who suffer; it is far more difficult to be compassionate toward those who create that pain.

Jane will lead you through significant realities in this module, such as how the very life circumstances of someone you hold in harsh judgment — except for the grace of God — could be your own.

You’ll learn how real compassion is indiscriminate and unconditional — and how to observe your own acts and conduct as God would, without judgment and with unconditional love.

During this session, you will:

Continue your elemental exploration by looking at how Air affects you — and how being too in your brain may prevent intimacy, connection, and a better knowledge of the human condition.
Examine the legend of Riannon, a queen who was convicted, disbelieved, and punished for a crime she did not do — and while she tried for years to find pity for herself, she eventually came to lament a previous lack in her own compassion for another.
Investigate how the Willow tree encourages you to cry for people who are unable to cry for themselves.
Put putting an end to misery ahead of being right — and put yourself in the position of those you judge.
Witness your “worst mistake” from distance and find compassion for yourself.
Dismember the judgment you have towards yourself that is causing you to suffer.

Surrender: Allowing Transformation to Take Place (September 9)

In the midst of battle, sometimes the best course of action is to just surrender – to lay down your arms and let the process of transformation take its course.

This week, you’ll learn why, while it’s natural to want to get out of the burning building as soon as possible, sitting down in the fire and waiting for the dismemberment to happen can yield a much greater prize — a newly forged, more empowered self.

A kind of purification can then occur, freeing you from the apparent humiliations and losses you’ve fought so hard against.

And the outcomes are more long-term, deeply felt, and irreversible. When you finally decide to stop and sit in the midst of the fire, you freely sacrifice what has been impeding your path to power for so long.

As you’ll see, the element of Fire within all of us is what drives our lives, sparks our creativity, and ignites our imagination.

In this session, you will investigate:

When you become too staid and complacent, too rigid in your thinking, or lacking in conviction, the Fire within you can burn out.
Why is it so common to avoid the aspects of life that can embolden and reshape you — and why Fate feels obligated to bring you the experience that will reignite you?
The legend of the Celtic god Bran the Blessed, who foretold and cheerfully accepted his own death because he saw it as a path to power and protection for his companions.
Furze (Gorse), the sacred tree, is a golden, flowering plant that is burned to the ground each year to allow it to grow more vigorously.
How to identify and seek the fuel (or stimulus) that keeps your inner Fire burning bright — and what must be sacrificed so your deeper passions can be set free

Module 10 — Peace: Calming the Shifting Seas of Earthly Life (September 16) (September 16)

In the Celtic vision, there are three strains of music: songs of joy, songs of sorrow, and songs of peace.

In this closing class, you’ll explore how peace is the third component that breaks the dualistic strain created between the other two components.

While the Cauldron of Motion turns with the joys and sorrows of life, the virtue of peace calms the shifting seas of earthly life and creates something else — Heaven on Earth, or the peace that surpasses all understanding.

As Jane will share, joy and sorrow are temporal. Peace, by contrast, is connected to the realm of the Otherworld, or the afterlife.

Deep down, humans have always sought to go beyond dualism, to locate a way of life where suffering is an option — and peace is a choice you’re free to make in every moment.

As you’ll explore, peace isn’t something you create, it’s something you allow.

In this final session, you’ll:

Work with your inner Earth element, realizing that the source of your own restlessness arises out of the disconnection from Mother Earth
Delve into the myth of the Voices of the Wells, which chronicles the history of the estrangement from Mother Earth and all we’ve lost as a result
Journey to the Great Mother herself and ask to be taken back into the cradle of the Earth
Visit the Yew tree, which often grows in cemeteries, and allow its soporific powers to lull you to sleep
Discover a part of yourself you’ve been estranged from and call it home
Allow yourself to be imbued, like the Voices of the Wells, with the wisdom of the Earth …
