Who speaks for country?
Do you wish to understand more about Natural Law and how this applies to space-holding?
'Coming in the Right Way' & 'Speaking for Country'
MAY 3 @ 10:30AM UK | ONLINE
You are invited to an experiential workshop in finding true flow and respect for natural law in space-holding based on work in the field and indigenous science
Do you sometimes attend community or transformative events and feel like the wrong people have taken over and the outcomes have been diluted?
Do you wish to support elders and pillars in the community but feel that consistently their wisdom is being overshadowed by loud performers?
Do you wish to experience flow and synergy in tribal council settings and to start to learn how to more effectively hold space and to gain an understanding of what is and isn’t aligned with deeper protocols?
Due to numerous requests by students and affiliates who would like to become more mindful when working with tribal groups, diverse cultures and elders, we are expanding upon our ‘Coming in the Right Way’ teachings.
Many people are dismayed because they do not know who has the Authority or how to honour community in different settings. This often leads to conflict, misunderstandings and a disregard for the true natural law principles around holding space.
On 3rd May we will run a special introductory level workshop on ‘Speaking for Country’ - Custodianship and Protocols which we delivered as a pilot at the Salisbury Centre, Edinburgh in 2025.
In this lively workshop you will learn more about the art of active listening, the indigenous ways of finding Authority for ‘who speaks for’ a particular theme, land, medicine and so forth.
We will also contextualize why this thematic is so important astrologically at this time.
You will then form break-away groups to practice this and feedback your experience.
When we did this as a real experiential workshop in Scotland last year there was positive feedback from many people and even some tears of relief at finally feeling a sense of belonging in community space.
Often in the West we encounter loud egos taking over because people do not have the insights as to how custodianship is represented. This can have damaging consequences.
When we learn how to adopt simple principles in shared spaces that adhere to how the wisdom keepers do it, we find more flow in sessions. In transformative containers the outcomes are also usually higher because people feel safe and the natural order is respected.
Do you wish to support elders and pillars in the community but feel that consistently their wisdom is being overshadowed by loud performers?

"I have particularly learned and deeply appreciate ethics as an expression, or manifestation of natural law, of how things are, and so operate as reference points to reality, mediating what’s ‘unethical’ in a way that has potential to restore a personal and shared culture based on natural law, rather than, as a practitioner, adjust one’s behaviour within colonial culture to produce ‘success’ in economic terms, or operating within legislation. I can fully see now, I’m not conscious of the ethics codes I agreed to in my yoga teacher training or shamanic trainings and need to review these.
One of the beautiful things to come out of these trainings, is to recognise one’s dharma isn’t necessarily through a human-facing therapeutic job title and role, but nevertheless necessitate an ethics context in order that encounters with others, whether non-physical beings, indigenous peoples, or those considered ‘asleep’ or ‘unconscious’ are met in equanimity, in right relation, including a more symmetrical perspective to observe established cultural and multidimensional structures, so revealing prejudices and loyalties which, are themselves, colonial perspectives."
Coming in the Right Way – from Ethics Online Day Training
This term is used in indigenous societies in Australia and refers to a body of ethical and law/lore-based teachings known as ‘protocol’. Western spiritual practitioners seem to be nothing short of allergic to the concept of ethics and natural law. The truth is, though, that we will never become an authentic practitioner if we do not learn to honour fundamental principles.
Everything has a right time and right order (or maybe several) but the western novice often tries to bulldoze into scenarios by asking too many questions, not listening to elders first, not examining the hierarchy or organisation in a particular setting and making it all about themselves. In the practitioner world there are similar principles that create sacred and professional conduct and right now a lot of people expose their feelings of pride and entitlement by not ‘coming in the right way’.
If we understand Saturn and some principles that can be transposed into community and practitioner settings, we can become a more mature and respected/full practitioner.
In this satsang Padma will share some often overlooked fundamentals around Natural time, Indigenous Science, Dharma and Sacred order to help you become more aware and aligned. It is hoped that this will open you up to rewiring to have ethical rather than egoic tendencies at your foundation.
