Mystic South

I would like to introduce conference goers to the Maker tradition, which is not well known at all even though it's been practiced quietly in Appalachia for about 200 years. My teacher was taught the tradition by his grandfather, who lived in Knox Co. KY. Until my teacher started teaching online, the tradition was only taught down familial lines to those family members who had 'the knack.' I would like to share a Maker practice called Burning the Past with conference goers along with some relevant Maker cosmology. Burning the Past is a self-healing practice used for recovering energy tied up in past memories. It's one of the first practices taught to those learning to become a Maker. It's a method though, that anyone can benefit from, no matter what their practice is. I'd be honored to share this simple but potentially life changing tool with Mystic South conference goers. Participants might want to consider bringing a blanket to wrap themselves in.
