•  a 'drawing out' of the spirit. The spirit of regeneration

 

•  a way of knowing

 

•  a way of going with the flow of life. Using the senses to en-soul and enrich life

 

•  a way of inviting the primitive, the magic, the mythic, the archaic and
mysterious workings of consciousness to become visible and felt

 

•  a way to keep moving, evolving, expressing, wholing, individuating

 

•  a way to communicate with the numinous. Seeking God's Face
