To ask a woman not to hunt for a mate, to focus only on developing herself, is like asking a wolf not to hunt; it is against nature. However, we can hunt well or poorly. The wolf is one of nature's supreme hunters--fierce, intelligent, and confident. Where a hunting dog will chase right behind a deer, a wolf will aim at a point ahead to intercept. Because the dog chases directly, the dog will only catch the very young, very old, sick, or injured, whereas the wolf will catch the best.
To follow the wolf's trajectory is to aim at a point ahead. It is to use your desire for a particular sort of man to point you to your life path or to the next great experience on that path. For example, if you desire an adventurer, you're more likely to meet him on a trek in Nepal than in a bar in your hometown. Most important--if that's the sort of person you want to love, chances are, that's the sort of person you want to be. Your desire can guide you to that fulfillment.
Primal Celtic tradition sees desire as positive. It motivated the Goddess, God and Creator to make the universe. In Old Irish the word rún can mean mystery, desire, and the beloved; therefore, desire can align us with creation's sacred purpose, an alignment we'll strive for in this workshop. Although there are lots of good workshops on specific "hunting strategies," this one focuses on a bigger picture--the power, passion, and fulfillment desire can draw us to in all realities.
We'll use the shamanic techniques of the spirit journey, chant, prayer, and dance to connect with the power of the wolf, the power of desire, and the power of our own truest selves. We will journey to the spirit mate, the purely spiritual aspect of the soul mate, to feel the Creator's love in a personal way, removing the desperation for a physical lover we experience when we're divorced from divine love. By experiencing divine love separately, we'll also learn to understand what happens when we perceive it through another, and how to combine divine and human love instead of confusing them. We'll also find the ancient Celtic archetype of the sovereignty goddess within ourselves, to align our choices with the truth of our being. Following the wolf's trajectory, we'll reach the point ahead, where desire and fulfillment meet in us and can be met in the world
