Face to face on 9th – run by Shenoah and David face to face
Zoom on 10th – run by Shenoah on Zoom

Information circulated
We have run an annual Seidr day as part of LODG since 1998 to introduce people to the wonderful practice of seidr and to support those already working with it to deepen their practice. There will be two opportunities this year, a face to face meeting on the Saturday and a Zoom meeting on the Sunday. 

Seidr is a nordic shamanic tradition that uses the staff, the song and the seat as key elements. It is a freer yet focussed and power filled way of working that offers a different experience than journeying with the drum or rattle. Being able to sing in tune is not required, it is the power our intention carries not how it sounds that is important. 

The face to face meeting on Saturday will take place at the Wheatsheaf Hall. The Sunday meeting will take place on Zoom and will have a different community ritual than the Saturday.

3rd journey – Community Seidr, both days we did the same intention – Sending power to the COP29 Wisdom Keeper Delegation
Face to Face Seidr – Participants sang 3 seidr workers who were sitting on the seidrhjel to gather the healing power from the spirits and deliver it to the Wisdom Keepers. When the work was done the seidr workers took personal questions
Zoom Seidr – Community Seidr – All participants perceived themselves standing around the world tree with their staffs touching it and singing. They sent power to the world tree so it could be delivered to the COP29 Wisdom Keeper Delegation.
