One of the most profoundly liberating realizations is that we have no
secrets. Every untruth and limiting belief that we hold is embodied in us
and revealed to everyone we meet. What we try to hide is observable in
our posture, the tension and relaxation of our muscles, our tone and
volume and pace of our speaking, our choice of words, the degree of
openness of our eyelids, our skin tone, where we focus our eyes, our
degree of coordination, our activity level, the clothing we wear, and many
more traits.

The Wisdom of the Rabbit: how body wisdom and trauma are related to healing
As soon as we begin forming in our mother’s womb, we are receiving
information about what the outer world is like and how to be within it.
Our mother communicates to us through the mix of hormones and chemicals
that we receive, plus the electromagnetic fields of the body organs, of
which the heart is the most powerful, plus whatever we experience of the
outside directly through the mother’s body as it acts as a conduit for
sound, temperature, etc. Based on the hormonal soup that we imbibe, we
learn whether the world is generally a scary place or a loving, nurturing
place. Consequently, children who are born to mothers who experienced a
high degree of stress during pregnancy are likely to be hyper-sensitive to
environmental stimulus like touch, and may even experience wearing some
clothing like blue jeans as painful against the skin.
How to Build a No Trace Fire
Choose a location that is free from tree roots, as much as possible. Sand is the best substrate to build a no trace fire upon.
Being with Difficulty
Life ain’t always easy. Sometimes our lives are just plain difficult, or
even painful, and we can’t immediately change it. We need to “BE” with
difficulty.
Full Circle One Year Apprenticeship
In these changing and challenging times it is essential to stay grounded and find the skills and guidance necessary to develop and maintain Right Relationship with ourselves, our relatives and our uncertain future.
Full Circle – Course Outline and Delivery
Imagine yourself learning in an oral tradition, spending time with various Mentors, Elders, Warriors, Hunters and Medicine People. Each conversation and adventure will have a different theme and offer guidance about the essentials of living a Sacred Human Life and the skills necessary to live in Harmony with the Earth and all Life.
The Four Directions
Traditionally, once you feel that you are ready to take a journey on the Medicine Wheel, you are introduced to the “ways” of Walking in Spirit. Walking in Spirit is an expression that describes a deeply personal and committed relationship with your Spiritual path. This relationship with Spirit is understood to be a Sacred partnership, that is full of possibilities and accidents. The only real “concern” is that you are at peace and Walking in a Good Way. Although Walking with Spirit is unique for everyone, there are some “shared” experiences that are worth considering before beginning a Spiritual Journey.
The Eight Branches of Daoism
The Full Circle program is primarily sourced in Spiritual Traditions of the Indigenous People of Asia, North and South America. All of these Ways of Being in the World are speaking from the same Heart, and yet they are speaking from different times. The indigenous spiritual tradition of Asia (Daoism) has developed and changed in response to the gradual organization of civilization that has occurred over the last 7,000 years in what we now call China. The Indigenous people of North and South America have maintained their traditions until very recently, when they were suddenly faced with industrial colonization.
Lessons from Stone Age Living by Chris Morasky
From deep in the wilderness come the busy sounds of a band of hunter-gatherers. Grains are ground with a mano and metate, someone is scraping a deer hide with a stone tool, men tell stories and jokes while knapping beautiful obsidian points, children are laughing and playing a game with sticks and feathers, and a successful hunter is returning to camp with a fat buck deer. Everyone is happy and healthy, shelters are well built, food and materials are abundant, and the sun is shining. Such are the dreams of the romantic modern primitive…
