Guide Program
Imagine...
you are a Wolf and have lived
in a cage all your life. You have yearned
to learn the natural ways of your ancestors, of your wild and free kin.
Then one day the cage door is opened and there to meet you is a wise
one who will guide you for the next turn of the seasons. He will help
you get in touch with your intrinsic wolfness and help you heal through
the pain and numbness of your caged life. You'll learn how to walk
honorably and respectfully on The Earth Mother how to reattune your
senses, hunt, and find shelter. You'll regain your intuitive knowledge
of how to find your way and forecast the weather, and so much
more.
When it is time for your path and your
guide's to separate, you'll be
well on your way to being the native child of the Mother you were
intended to be, ready to rejoin your pack and walk in Balance with all
your nonhuman relations. You'll be living from your heart-of-hearts
that place of Balance where senses, intuition, intellect, and feelings
meet. You'll have the ability to readily adapt to a wide variety of
climates. And you will carry the fire of the Old Way within you, so
that you can go and ignite the flame in others.
This one-year experience will greatly
advance you towards being
earth-sufficient, rather than self-sufficient from survival to
living, from spectator to dwelling in attuned immersion. At times,
you'll be gathering most of your food and drinking wild water, you'll
be making your own shelter and skin clothing, you'll learn what to use
for soap and wounds and intestinal cramps. You'll be walking silently
and seeing more than you ever knew existed. You'll learn first-hand the
spiritual life of the native. You'll know, from their direct teaching,
the ways of Wolf and Raven, of the elder Trees and healing Herbs. (And
you'll be gaining other skills and awarenesses that would not be
prudent to mention here.)
Survival in reality and much of its
mystery and intrigue lies in
changing attitudes about such things as food, comfort, and need.
Perspective changes when we go from practicing a skill to actually
having to rely upon it to live. To learn a skill in a structured
environment and isolated from its native context, is simplistic and
potentially dangerous; it can handicap you when you actually need to
rely upon it. Learning in a real, challenging situation, engages your
creativity and adaptability, which encourages success and helps the
skill to become second-nature.
This is a one-of-a-kind program; it has
no set agenda, no books, no
mechanized transportation. Not even plastic water bottles. Rather, it
is the native approach; one-on-one and geared specifically to you a
real living-learning experience in the wilderness.
Qualifications are stringent; they have
to do with integrity and
strength of will more so than with how much outdoor experience you
might already have. Those who complete the program earn Wilderness
Guide Certification the only one of its kind. The experience begins
with the Melting of the Snows.
