The First Step to Building Sacred Connection with Land

Updated: Aug 28

In April 2024, we had the most amazing class at the Olympic Peninsula Access Gaia forest! 


Thank you to all the participants and donations sent to this amazing educational event. Special thanks to Kara Consigli, Ashley Swail, Iliana Rojero, and Larry Buzzell who facilitated and carried out the class, and Fred Geurin for the donations that made this event possible, and hard work to set it all up. 


During the workshop, I shared some of the techniques from my Gypsy and European Alchemical lineages to connect and communicate with land. I will share the first step to this protocol so that you can start doing this in your daily life.


The first step is simple yet often overlooked by many people from Western cultures: ask for permission to enter. 


When entering someone else’s land, or getting to know land you’ve just purchased for the first time, start by introducing yourself to the land, and ask the land for permission to enter. It’s also good etiquette to ask for permission to enter the land from the owner, too.  


You can do this by daydreaming it. For example, close your eyes and say to the land, “hello, this is Inelia (or your name). I live in the Olympic Peninsula. I request permission to enter you so I may take a lovely walk this afternoon and enjoy your forests.” 


When you feel the love after asking for permission, then you may enter :) 


Just like you would introduce yourself to a stranger or meet someone for the first time, so too you can do this with land. This step will expand your connection and communication with your environment.  


Once you are introduced and accepted, your relationship persists and you don't have to ask permission anymore, but I would suggest a greeting as you would your friend.


Enjoy!
