The cauldron is a sacred symbol of wholeness, mystery, magic, rebirth, and transformation. The ancient Celts have many stories where cauldrons figure prominently, including the goddess Cerridwen’s Cauldron of Transformation and the god The Dagda’s Cauldron of Plenty. The Cauldron of Poesy is an Irish text from the Middle Ages that describes three cauldrons that reside within each person: The Cauldron of Warming (associated with physical health), The Cauldron of Motion (associated with emotions/activity in the world), and The Cauldron of Knowledge/Wisdom (associated with spiritual knowledge/advanced poetry). The text provides some insights into what each cauldron regulates, their positions, and how they engage with each other. The cauldrons were meant to help poets and bards hone their craft and grow spiritually. Today, people work with these cauldrons to engage with their body, mind, and spirit, checking to see how each cauldron is doing and whether it needs to be turned. Yes, the cauldrons can be on their side or even upside-down! In this experiential workshop, we will learn about the three cauldrons of the soul and do a guided imagery visualization to engage with each cauldron and see how our own inner cauldrons are doing.
