The MiddleWorld Mysteries program is hosted by Ninth Wave Arts.

Ninth Wave Arts is a not-for-profit organization, offering educational opportunities grounded in the remembrance and reclamation of Folk Wisdom and Folk Arts. The MiddleWorld Mysteries community is held well by Ninth Wave Arts, and the three year program is held well within that.

The program is guided by folks who have moved through it themselves. Additionally, a team of volunteers supports all the work of Ninth Wave Arts to make the program possible.

We acknowledge the efforts of those guiding participants through the three year journey of the program. And we appreciate the volunteers who keep all the Ninth Wave Arts offerings rolling.

HEY EVERYBODY - YOU ROCK!

These teachings take us down the Druid path, back to the old ways of community, sovereignty, connection to land, cycle and dreaming.

We travel the song lines to the un-authored places, walking the pathways to places of old in the folds between ordinary and non-ordinary worlds, including Avalon, inviting doorways to open to the mystery realms where liminal voices whisper for us to remember.

We invite Spirits of Place, the Old Gods and the Ancestral Ones to join us in our journey as we awaken the cosmological trinity and land our feet in both worlds, a heart bridge in service to healing.

We move by way of oral tradition, and although there are many books to support our work, participation, experience and community collaboration allow for the most growth and learning. We find our way together, inviting an organic quality to our meandering as we move along the spiral line.

Our learnings cover her/history, story, song, healing practices, divination practices, breath work, journey work, folk craft, land skills and much more.

We develop relationships with the Otherworld and find our own guides and our own way through the mysteries.

This can be a lifelong path. We offer a three-year program as a start, which supports a good foundation for settling the work in blood, breath and bone.

An Open Mind and Open Heart

We will be co-creating an energetic container together in relation to the actual energetic and physical territory of the MiddleWorld. An open mind and open heart will support the experience and allow us to remember the story, walk the path and awaken the dream together, in resonant coherence.

Commitment

Please consider your commitment carefully. We have the opportunity to feel ourselves through the ebb and flow of a full year cycle; at times inspired, at times challenged. It's all part of the process. Be prepared to follow through. Your attendance and participation makes a difference to the whole. Our way forward depends on each other. Each person brings value to the whole. Once we know you're participating, the teaching team will begin holding energetic space for you as a participant. If you bring your intent forward - it contributes to group coherence in the energy field - whether your physical body follows through or not. Yes, it's a real thing. :o) 

Community

Reclaiming the old way of community is necessary for understanding the path. We participate as individuals with an awareness to the whole of community. We can practice individually, but the most benefit comes from the synergy of community experience.

Sovereignty

We are responsible for recognizing our innate authority, especially when we come into group together. Sovereign beings participate in authentic ways in care of the community experience, while holding responsibility for personal experience. The group moves together at a pace that includes everyone.

Homework 

We will be building our own MiddleWorld support 'kit' of activities and items. This will include personal healing practices, journalling, 'dreaming', crafting various items, including garb & accessories, reading lore and getting to know the cycles of nature, moon and sun. Many suggestions of 'homework' will present themselves along the way. 

We offer three ways to attend this program. If at all possible, we recommend the weekly style as it tends to build the strongest practice. The hybrid version is a good option if you are at a distance and limited in the ability to attend the online weekly version.

We aim keep all groups small in size.

In the old ways, community inherently recognized and practiced reciprocity. These days, we've come to a different kind of social agreement - we use money. Whether you personally believe or participate in the system, it is the present way of energy exchange.

Shortly after completing this form, you'll receive information on pricing. 1st cycle programs tend to run between $1600-$2500 per year. (Hybrid programs may have additional associated costs.) We have different payment options.

Cost should not be prohibitive to attending. We work very hard to make the program accessible to all who have interest. Please inquire.

We are a not-for-profit organization, and we have real physical costs that need to be covered. We can only run a program if our costs are covered. 

If so, we need some information from you to engage your intention to confirm your commitment to the program cycle. 

We will be in touch with you shortly to arrange payment.

We look forward to meeting you and spiralling the cycle together.

Thank you! Bright Blessings!
