We will build individual and collective capacity to embody and apply Earth Wisdom in this week-long Immersion on The Ojo in Northern New Mexico.

OCTOBER 17-23, 2017

Key teachings and Activities:  

  • We will create a Medicine Wheel on the land, as a way of embodying our experience of The Twenty (20) Count and deepening our understanding of the 8 perspectives of the Way of the Council.  The Twenty Count is the foundational wheel of the Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge and an energy map of the world as humans experience it, both the visible and the invisible.
  • The Medicine Wheel will serve as an energetic structure for our work when on the land and a collective energetic touchstone for your own practice and integration of the teachings in your life and Work when you return home. Creating a Medicine Wheel in this tradition is an amazing and awe inspiring process.  The beauty of it will touch your heart.
  • We will introduce and work with the Way of the Council. 
  • We will hold a minimum of one formal Wisdom Council and explore diverse ways of applying this powerful framework in our lives and work. A few areas of possible interest might be:
    • Personal discernment
    • Healing practices
    • Coaching – individual and group
    • Teams & organizational – a systemic, strategic approach to engaging challenges
    • Scaling – increasing the number of people involved
  • We will dive deep into each of the 8 perspectives with specific teachings and activities on the land, to support the integration and embodiment of the Way of the Council within ourselves.
  • You will create Arrows of Strategic Intent (a practice from the bundle of the teachings) to support you in implementing the Way of the Council and Power of the 8 in whatever ways have the most energy for you.
  • We will introduce a practice called “dancehammering," which members of the group can use to continue learning together after the Immersion. 

Post Immersion Guiding

  • For those of you who may wish to explore integrating the teachings in multiple contexts of personal & professional life, and would value a little additional guidance, Accalia and/or myself, may be available to act as your guide(s) on this continuing journey.  Please connect with us if you are interested in this opportunity.
  • You may also request one or more virtual calls to explore specific teachings in a small group.
