SPIRALDANCING LIFE

ABOUT  the 1st Penseh of THIS MEDICINE WHEEL STUDYWORK

What is SpiralDancing Life?

SpiralDancing Life is an overlap of time, ancient practices and contemporary wisdom,  unfolding in understanding that your life, fulfillment, and health are layers of energy, intimately tied to the functional dynamics and spiritual health of the planet and together in relationship with Earth, we will find sustainable and mutually enhancing experience, co-creating a reality we choose.

SpiralDancing Life

places the source of our human wounding in a series of ritual exercises designed to reveal foundational concepts we care that are illusional, and by referencing nature and it's cycles, the spirituality of ancient Earth peoples, we find reunification possible.  The focus of this 1st body of work is finding the truth… what we believed before we lost touch with the magical nature of life.  We work intricately with inner child parenting, play and processes that reconnect us to our true parents… Earth and Spirit.

SpiralDancing Life  the study of the tlish diyan Medicine Wheel, steps that connect us to all forms of life, thus, improving our relations with humans, and ourselves. SpiralDancing Life dares us to embrace our imperfections as our unique individuality, understand we create the flow of time through our belief systems, heal, dream, and respond. SpiralDancing Life brings mystical and mundane together to create a family container for new understanding of the human journey.

Areas of Interest

to SpiralDancers include effective traditional earth wisdom concept-education and responsible action, connecting to Earth, the healing and Initiatory influences of encounters with Spirit, development of the "healed" self, creating healthy boundaries for relationships and manifestation sustainable venues, earth- grounding spiritual practices, and affirmation for a positive and sustainable reality of peace.

Cross-Cultural Truths

SpiralDancing Life recognize the essential role of the extended family system found in many Indigenous Dream Societies. Practitioners explore the over lapping concepts of original Earth People in spirituality, working with the land, and interpersonal dynamics, for a more expansive experience of the overlapping similarities to be found in the common nobility we all share.

Similarly, the medicine wheel that provides our structure is, at its roots, strongly intercultural. It recognizes the universality of the deeper dimensions of human experience while valuing the diversity of its expressions; it integrates insights on human nature and healing from a wide variety of experiences; and it recognizes the role of cultural landscape context in the we grow through.

SpiralDancing Life values diversity in its student body and faculty and includes explorations of diversity throughout its duration. It seeks to prepare students for engagement with a diverse and evolving world.

Spiritual Procession 

Spiritual  practices such as morning prayer and other ritual practices, as well as body health maintenance, facilitate a person's ability to be fully engaged in their personal life.

Too many of us have experienced the "Great Separation," a tear in the human consciousness that has left us feeling as if there is a hole in our heart that we much fill be constantly doing more, filling time, but not necessarily the hole.  We believe self-sacrifice to be our saving grace, when it fact, we leak our power and become ineffective, or velcro ourselves to others trying to help them, and avoid our own situations.  Either way, we never feel the hole filling up.  We find more pain.

Any experience, whether it is our daily mundane or our spiritual interaction, is going to benefit and be enriched when we can stop beating ourselves up and always having judgment.

To quote Juan Ten Bears Yraceburu, Apache renegade and HolyOne of the turn of the century, “What we do goes far beyond suggestion or the projections of traditional spirituality.

"Life is a song, an arrangement from the Sacred Parents, who expect us to continue singing in harmony with All Our Relations. For this we develop our gifts to be used
for the harmonious well being of all the levels of vibrational evolution.”
As it was in ancient times, SpiralDancing Life integrates Earth Wisdom practices into a contemporary learning process. Such practices are at the core of of what we do. They provide the foundation for understanding, which is grounded in experience, and for more effective and compassionate application of fully engaged and active living.

Students will learn and practice rituals during the final intensive as well as through online course work with close supervision. Ritual practices are required in the first penseh of the program and the Medicine Wheel keeps us in alignment with Earth's Cycles. SpiralDancing Lifes's traditional approach is found not only in ritual instruction and practices but throughout the discussions and augmentation work. The willingness to be understand we have been immersed in a state of mind foreign in all concepts allows us to open up as children and sit by the Storyteller's Fire and take it all in… curiosity is at the root of our success.

1st Penseh of SpiralDancing Life

The 1st penseh - vision circle - in SpiralDancing Life is based on the integration of personal growth and healing separation, the introduction of ritual as a daily practice, releasing illusion from foundational life blocks, and service. These values are furthered by our emphasis on community, diversity and inclusivity. SpiralDancing Life offers Yraceburu EarthWisdom’s approach to relearning connection and engagement with inner inner child and the spirit of the sacred Changing Mother, and our international population of extened family. It seeks to expand EarthWisdom through the online medium.

These core values are the foundation of the program’s goals. Students will:
  • demonstrate expertise in the concepts, themes, practices, theory, methods, history, and current issues of EarthWisdom.
  • apply and expand their understanding of SpiralDancing Life through service and intellectual contributions.
  • demonstrate understanding and respect for service, intellectual re-circuiting, and engaged responsible action as essential in SpiralDancing.
  • demonstrate a personal, ongoing, and deepening relationship with Mother Earth and SpiralDancing practices and an integration of these practices in their lives and studywork.
  • demonstrate qualities of openness to experience, appreciation for difference and diversity, and compassionate communication with peers and faculty.
  • demonstrate maturity and openness in regard to diversity, inclusivity, and pluralism, appreciating and integrating perspectives of difference and unity. This growing maturity and openness is the basis for community and leadership within the program, in service-learning placements and in the world developing.
