Perfectly described, very evident in the video, your bond to Land and to Wind can be thoroughly felt and I share it deeply, to the land I live in. I have the impression mine is more tolerant with what i do on it, mistakes or wrong decisions... And it appreciates right ones i might make, when they add living habitats, or bring out the perception of its deeper layer and dimensions, like a labyrinth that now lives in one of the meadows, seemingly just a track in the grass, marked by a few stones. Thank you
Thank you, Philipa, for being willing and open to sharing this private ritual, despite it making you feel so vulnerable and exposed. I loved reading it, love the idea of the land speaking to you, and of Wind singing and dancing, welcoming you. I hope to have that kind of relationship with the land some day, but for that to happen I think I need to become more receptive and attentive and present than I am now...
Thank you for the account of this experience. The last paragraph detailing the change of the experience - which I've had too - is important, I feel. It shows we can't 'make' Nature respond; when She does, it's a gift of grace. A couple of months back I went to a favourite spot by a river (30 mins walk from our house) determined to 'do a ritual', yet when I got there I could no longer sense the usual connection. No animation of spirit. So I abandoned the ritual because the whole thing/idea, and setting, suddenly felt so 'dead'.
Very true, Joshua - every instance is different. I try to stay open and receptive to whatever presents itself at the time. Also, to keep in mind what Anne Poelina says - that the Land is alive and can always feel our presence (even if we can't sense a response).

Thank you so much, Jessica! I really appreciate your kind comments.
I love it
Thank you, Kathryn!
Philipa - thank you for sharing this. This is my story as well, however I feel shy to share it with others. You have shared courage, thank you.
Thank you so much, Jayne! I was very hesitant, as you can see! Hopefully, it gives you courage also...
