Introduction to the Art of Land Divination with Liri Duraku
A Four-Week Journey in Kinship with the Natural World
This exploratory course is designed to be an introduction to the art of Land Divination.
Through connecting to the spirits of the land we can divine messages by learning how to scry water, plants, sky, earth, flowers, animals, and all other pieces of nature. In this four-week series, we will learn how to develop a connection with the land so we can live in right relationship with the natural world and all the beings, mortal or immortal, that dwell here.
Land Divination is also a form of grief medicine as we learn to cherish all cycles of life and learn to continue the relationship with beings on the other side.
Over these four weeks together, you will learn to create your own language, dictionary, and glossary to speak to the spirits as everyone will have a different communication they develop with the spirits that show up for them. This is a form of animism and belief that all life is equal and all life deserves respect and reciprocity. Before we ask anything of the land we first offer healing, truth, and love.
When we become land diviners, we carry the responsibility and the love of the land with us. The land is you and you are the land. This connection already exists within you, this is just your chance to awaken it.
By the end of this course, everyone will have a deeper relationship with the land and have the basic knowledge of learning to read earth, soil, sky, water, plants, and animals—the same as you would learn to read Tarot. This is just the beginning of your relationship with the Land and it will give you the tools to start a practice of your making.
