ONLINE RITUAL TRAININGS
These Ritual training weekends with the whole training group, provide a way for you to continue to digest the quarterly training content and do your own personal work. It is a beautiful community event that demonstrates the potency of presence in the online environment.
Each weekend consists of a 2 hour preparation training call on Friday, dedicated homeplay for you to complete on Saturday, a 1 hour training call on Sunday followed by two experiential sessions. Each session is 3.5 hours long with a 30-60minute integration at the end. Participants will partner up and one person will sit in presence online, while the other has their experience. After integration everyone reverses roles for the second round.

1ST year curriculum
FOCUS The focus on the first year’s training will be on developing emotional agility, freeing yourself from past suffering, the patterns and compulsive behaviors that bind you. We focus on trusting the body and the breath, developing faith in Nature’s wisdom, so you recognize and return to your natural emotional state.
You will internalize the past/present processes, practice greater emotional freedom and agility, learn how to create vulnerability, and nurture your personal evolution. Using a wide range of altered states technologies, we apply dynamic integration processes that create real changes in your daily life and with those around you..
TRACKING EXPERIENCES This year will offer opportunities to explore Nature’s wisdom and track your own and others altered state experiences. You will begin to co-create themes and inductions and practice the maps of maturation. You will be encouraged to activate and express your creativity, especially in relation to your internal processes.

INtegration
This is very deep transformational work. Your ability to implement all the teachings, the experiences, the processes and your shiny new intentions, requires adequate time to rest, deep regenerative sleep and adequate time to integrate. The quality of your sleep effects your capacity to remember.
The quarterly retreats finish mid afternoon on Saturdays to provide a quiet day or two afterwards to continue integrating and reduce your travel stress. Plan on creating more flexibility in your schedule for your inner process as we proceed.
Some of the homeplay assignments may need more time to feel your way through the work. We encourage you to find whatever additional mental health, emotional or physical services that will to support your integration on all levels.
