24-28 June’26 - MEDICINE QUEST - with Marold and Keef
In The Wild Woods at COED HILLS, there is a strong circle of brothers gathering seeking and co-creating - MEDICINE CIRCLES. This is an invitation to explore the concept of Medicine Circles and seek soul-centric integrity
Cultivate your personal MEDICINE CIRCLE - your energetic second skin, your circle of power, your circle of integrity, your personal space aka soul temple, soul garden, wild erotic playground.
Cocreate our collective MEDICINE CIRCLE as a circle of brothers
Alchemise our personal and collective vicious circles - victim, persecutor, rescuer and hungry ghost with our archetypal medicine circles of allies - Dancing Fool, Dancing Warrior, Wise Elder and Wounded Healer; held by big mama and big papa.
Utilising the core practices of Movement Medicine, we will explore these concepts and especially the ways in which they show up in our experience as men in a male body. Through process and ceremony we will go on a hero’s journey to retrieve the mythical Sword of Discernment at the centre of our Medicine Circle in the territory of the Inner Shaman. With the medicine of cabana sweat lodge, nature and brotherhood we will generate circles of wholeness with the intention of transformation.
WHO IS IT FOR - It is for men who are called to cultivate a heart-centred embodied masculine energy rooted in their elemental nature. It is for men who strive to live a life of authenticity, integrity, reciprocity, emotional intelligence and embodied wisdom.
The core practices, processes and ceremonies
The Heart, Body and Soul of Brotherhood
We will invoke the medicine of Brotherhood and Embodied Heart Sharing Circles. Check out the link below to get a flavour if you are not familiar yet with how we work, play and pray together. https://www.movementmedicine4men.org/online-groups
Emergent Shamanic Dynamics
We will explore various rituals, practices and emergent processes as they present themselves in the moment. This cannot be planned as it is responsive to what is needed individually and collectively in the group dynamic.
Cabana - Sweat Lodge
The Purification Lodge is a sacred place where we clean our bodies, emotional, spiritual, mental, physical and release anything that is ready to be released that is no longer serving us. It is a place for dreaming new visions and re-programming ourselves, reclaiming original imprints of ourselves, blessing and healing hearts, bodies and minds. This is an ancient ritual that taps into the ancestral wisdom of our grandparents, the human ones and the elements: fire, earth, water, air. We enter the womb of the Great Mother to be re-born again. In that sense it is both womb and tomb, and symbolises the cycles of life, death and rebirth.
The Cabana is also referred to as Grandmother Spider, who works on the web of healing, weaving the threads of our destiny and unites us. She is very generous to those who are open to receiving and going through the portal of possibilities that she opens for us in our bodies, hearts, minds and souls.
Keef is an initiate of the Brazilian shaman and psychologist XamAM - Alba Maria from Terra Mirim, Brazil. The cabana is therefore deeply aligned with this lineage and is part of the path of the Mother Goddess and the 4 Elements.

”Movement Medicine is a shamanic medicine for our times. It gives us direct, embodied experience of the dance of life that’s going on inside us and all around us.. Simply put, Movement Medicine reconnects us, deepening our capacity for empathy and compassionate being and action.It marries ancient and modern wisdom, and supports you to experience the transformative power of your own potential in a co-creative community.” Susannah and Ya'acov Darling Kahn - Co-Founders of The School of Movement Medicine.
