“To survive, we must begin to know sacredness.
The pace which most of us live prevents this”
Chrystos, Menominee

Response & Reaction – Passion – Identity
Focus on the Element of WATER

As we ascend the mountain, the path narrows and steepens, the song of the wild wind of the Ancestors, spurs us on. The peak we saw with such enthusiasm comes into and falls out of view, the plains below now dizzyingly far. Our strengths and weaknesses combine as we battle against the shadows that call us to turn back. Here neither at the base or the peak of the mountain, we know how easy it is to get lost and with that knowledge we know ourselves as Warriors.

This is the training for the Practitioner of traditional shamanic craft.
