Cultivate Resilence

What are the original understanding of building resilience, to hold your own energy, to be less affected by outside influences and events? How can you stay strong even when faced with adversity?  How can you maintain a sense of grace, humility and beauty when faced with the struggles of life? 

Ancestral ways of

the Heart-Mind

 From the Taoist of China to Native Americans, of Shinto of Japan to Aborigines of Australia, of the Himalayan Shaman to the Kalahari bushmen, they model common mindsets of walking a path with humility, respect, and gratitude.

But how do we do this in these times?  We’ll explore the practices and mindsets to walk our path with grace, power and humility.

The Dreaming

Across traditions the text speak of us being within a dream. We're being dreamt into the world and we're also doing the dreaming. From this we learn how to become awake within the dream, how to read the signs, flows and cycles, and how to have greater control and hence influence the dreaming.

Shamanic Mind

From totemism and animism to perceiving the mythical symbology in your everyday experiences.  

​

The shamanic lens reveals a world of connection and sacred relationship and empowers you to move amongst the many worlds woven within this world.

Life as Ritual

The elders share how without ritual we lose ourselves into the automated hypnosis of the collective. Discover the rituals to weave into your life and the inside understandings to activate ritual. 

​

We'll explore Initiation and Rites of Passage. 

You as Nature

Indigenous and ancestral wisdom has long shared that when we forget we are part of nature, we will struggle, the lands and animals will suffer, and there will come a time of great sorrow.

​

When we learn how we're part of nature, we can take our place within the great cyclic web of life.  We'll explore these core principles through Ayurveda, Indigenous stories, and modern science.
