Description
Your ancestors strived and survived across Millenia to ensure their lineage would continue to play its part in the tale of the human species. You are a miracle. The truth you hold within your heart is forever attempting to unfold, yet the power of our stories are often occluded by pain and suffering and the impact of exisiting within systems that attempt to disempower and negate the highest aspirations of our imagination and true will.
Sacred Magic and the two fold path offers us a methodology through which we can explore the wonder and beauty of our existence, in collaboration with the sacred and divine.
"This is the aim of sacred magic; it is nothing other than to give the freedom to see, to hear, to walk, to live, to follow an ideal and to be truely oneself" - Valentin Tomberg
This weekend of wonder, ritual and storytelling will offer participants full immersion in the wonders and deep truth of Sacred Magic. Through group work, you will explore the essence of your true story and engage in powerful ceremonies and rituals to unlock the inherent gifts that existence has provided to you whilst exploring:
- Communion with spirit
- The imaginal as a landscape of truth.
- The two fold sincerity.
- Navigating Fate
- Ritual and ceremony as language
- Transformation of trauma.
- The Wilderness as portal to numinous encounters
- Love as anchor point
- Punk Magick
- Ancestral medicine
- Freedom
Over the last thirty five years of work, John Harrigan's practice has focused on the sacred and divine, engaging in exploration of landscapes of wonder through his work as a writer, filmmaker, artist, magician and ritualist. This weekend workshop will offer participants a deep dive into the development of John's work and the commencement in a new stage in his life as an artist and magician.

Organiser
Hi, I'm John Harrigan
I'm an award-winning writer, artist and storyteller. My practice explores how creativity and spirituality are intrinsically linked to human development. I'm also known as a writer and director for film and theatre and a lecturer in storytelling, meditation and creativity for organisations such as the Royal College of Art, Institute of Contemporary Arts and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
How will my work benefit you?
The foundation of my work is based in ritual art and meditation and the information I share on this site comes from hard won lessons and wisdom that I've learnt over the last thirty years, in the process of creating and telling stories that explore life's big questions.
What is the truth of the human story? How do we unlock our purpose? How do we support human development, so that we build a future that sustains all forms of life on earth?
I've spent the majority of my working life exploring how storytelling and creativity can offer us a path to the sacred and divine.
I've made all manner of mistake, fallen many times. I've experienced both success and failure. It is through the process of enduring that we learn the truth we hold in our hearts and move forward on our path. This is how we embolden our story, this is how true wisdom is developed, nurtured and shared.
Art is magic. Art is utterly vital. Art has the power to heal deep wounds, to aid us in the darkest moments.
I believe in the imagination and creative power of each individual. I believe we need to respect all forms of life. I believe that we're each put here to do something unique and specific to our story. I want to aid as many people as possible to find their life's purpose.
