Magic in the Land of Fire and Ice:

Re-Enchanting Our Lives and Our World

A Six-Day Event in the Land of Myth and Legend, Fire and Ice

Reykjavik, Iceland ... August 20-26, 2012

 

Registration Closes June 14th.




"Gullfoss" . . . Iceland's "Golden Waterfall," one of thousands, frozen in winter, rushing in summer.

     Iceland: It lies at the pinnacle of the spine of the earth — the Mid-Atlantic Ridge — the rift in the crust of the earth through which magma flows out into the cold sea with such unimaginable force that it pushes the continents of the world apart. 

     Here the extremes are stunning, for this is the land of Fire and Ice. Numerous active volcanoes rise and smoke and erupt. Hundreds of geysers and some 800 hot springs release the energies of the fires of the earth. Great glaciers slide along the bedrock, and snows cover the land, so close to the Arctic circle, in the freezing winters. In the spring, their meltwaters feed Iceland's 10,000 plunging waterfalls. Then in the warm months the landscape is painted with wildflowers.  The winter skies dance with the Aurora Borealis, the electromagnetic light show of brilliant blues and greens. 

     But this is not just a place of extraordinary splendor and stunning beauty. This is a Magic Land, a land of Myth and Legend — of gnome and faerie, elf and troll. This is the home of the Huldufolk, the "Hidden Folk" who co-inhabit the land, and to whom respect is paid and room is provided. This is the mystical world of which the Icelandic bards spoke in the great epics and sagas, the Edda and the Prose Edda that tell the tales of the Völuspá, the vision of the Seeress, and relate the Hávamál, the speeches of the High One. Here the worlds of fire and ice come close to each other, and here human and faerie share a magical space. Iceland may be the only place in the world where people redraw the map of a road to prevent disturbing faerie property and have an Elf School dedicated to preserving the lore of the Hidden Folk.

     Lazaris has drawn us to many magical places where the Earth loves herself: the soft, rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, the deep, blue Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite, the temple of the earth. And he has enchanted us with the places where the faerie world is close to us: Maui, Hawaii and The Lake District in England. 

     This workshop will be a combination of a Congress of Magicians and an Intensive. There will be discussions, rituals, meditations, and Magic Times. There will be two Private Magic Days or free days to explore Iceland. These days are designed for you to work your magic with friends and fellow magicians as you connect with the land and the magic of this enchanting place. Each participant will receive a crystal and a special talisman during the Crystal Ceremony Time.

     This island at the top of the world is a place of both stunning nature — and its Nature Spirits — and a place where the Celts dwelled and the Hidden Folk touch the human world. Welcome to a spectacular adventure with Lazaris.  Welcome...

A huge, sparkling chunk of ice lies on a beach of black volcanic sand, a common site on the coast of Iceland.

  Location: The Hilton Hotel, Reykjavik

 

     The Hilton Reykjavik is a four-star hotel located in the heart of the city, a modern venue in a minimalist, yet elegant, style. Many rooms have spectacular mountain or sea views. This hotel is known for its traditional and vegetarian cuisine.

     The Laugavegur shopping area is a 15- to 20- minute walk from the hotel, and the Hilton offers a complimentary shuttle service several times during the day for those wanting to explore Reykjavik — this northernmost capital of the world, with modern styles contrasting with charming historical buildings of stone and wood.

     Just beyond the city limits, the world of blue geothermal pools, glaciers, and waterfalls. ...

All-Day Excursion

     On Tuesday, August 21, we will explore Iceland on the "Golden Circle Tour," an eight-hour excursion that will take us across Hellisheidi, the high lava plateau, and into the geothermal valley of Haukadalur with its otherworldly hot springs and multicolored pools of water and mud. There we will find Strokkur geyser, which spouts to a height of 82 feet. After a buffet lunch we will visit Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall, where the River Hvita tumbles 105 feet in a double cascade. In the sunlight, it often produces spectacular rainbows. Finally, we visit Thingvellir National Park, where the Great Atlantic Rift is visible to the  naked eye.
