Gathering of the Ways

The Gathering of the Ways is a time when Awakening Tribe members and friends from near and far gather together to do ceremony and celebrate where we are on our paths as pioneers in consciousness. It usually lasts for several days and always involves FUN! Also included are initiations and classes in which we explore the mysteries of Being and the wonder of FUN.

SACRED QUESTS

How wonderful to notice and follow the lead of Spirit! What stories there are to tell. Our trips usually involve a request from the 12 Many Friends and Peter to find, awaken, connect with, and do ceremony at these locations. As soon as we express a willingness to go, the details fall into place. The strength of Spirit to plow through even the most troubled waters, never ceases to amaze us! Some of our adventures with Spirit on Sacred Quests include:

Peru, with the purpose of awakening the Wise Ones in a chamber of the heart of the Earth;
Alaska, to gently awaken the backbone of the Earth manifesting as the mountains there. We also introduced ourselves to many wild animal friends
Cave in Northern Nevada. We learned new summoning ceremony and did a global healing and personal re-birth.
The Pyramids of the Four Corners: Locate, activate, connect.
Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, where we opened ourselves to truly experiencing No-Time and the possibilities that come with that knowing. We were to find the first of four pyramids in the four-corners area
Canyon DeChelley, Arizona, where we located the second pyramid and awakened it's Spirit
Mesa Verde, Colorado. The last two pyramids were located on this trip. The ceremony to connect and turn on the four structures created the base for a "pyramid" extending far into Earth Mother and reaching high up to Sky Father. All this, we were told, is to prepare for the times to come.
Iceland, strengthening Earth Mother's "fabricing" and healing personal and global Rifts.

GREEN MIST JOURNEYS

These journeys are closed-eye processes. Different from meditation, they provide an opportunity for experience from a different state of consciousness more like Shamanic Journeys. We began these odysseys by creating a Sanctuary or Treasure Chest in which to place "ourselves" and from which to begin our travels. Next we created a Garden of Sanctuary which plays a pivotal role in the experience. Some of the Green Mist Journeys we have titled:

The Circle is Complete
Building of Ribbons and Colors
Vortex of Sound
Hot Air Balloon

DREAM PLAY JOURNEYS

Encouraged by the 12 Many Friends to form groups and build communities, we have launched upon a course of study involving group dreaming. Even though we may not have put ourselves side by side in Space/Time constructs, we are nonetheless a part of and connected directly to each other. These dream adventures are arranged in intervals of 4 weekends at a time. Dream Journey exploration builds community/connection, heals and teaches.
