Note: Please take the time to read this page, and any others you may choose to peruse. 50% of our work is done through readings and workbook exercises, with 30% being interaction in group, and the final 20% personal time applying the practices to life. We have taken every step to make this a most doable practice of healing, and self empowerment available. It all begins with the Story… and reading.
Apprenticeship
The great Wheel of Life has been a spiritual roadmap for centuries, helping people seeking the Path of Beauty within themselves, with each other, and the natural world around them.
SpiralDancingSpiralDancing is an innovated and effective way for individuals to tap their Earth Spirituality and connection. It is an ancient way based in the philosophy of founder Maria Yracébûrû and her Apache tlish diyan roots. In the spirit of inclusion, not exclusion, it also taps the teachings of Elders of our extended family from traditions around the world to bring a variety of perspectives together to speak directly to the present and future.
Please look over each of the Eight Directions of Energy, as well as the layout of the apprenticeship as it will be delivered. If you are interested in living grounded and fulfilled life, please apply for the program. Registration opens again September - October. |
The SpiralDancing Program

SpiralDancing Program Organization
|
The tradition of the Ancestors speaks with the same heart we know speak from. The tlish diyan foundation of SpiralDancing Life develops and evolves with each generation in response to changing times and needs, and has been in existence at least 10,000 years. This tradition was maintained in the secrecy of the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico until recent times, when signs of allowed Maria, and others, to step forth and share.
Because tlish diyan is a traditional Path of Beauty back to earth spirituality. It is a path that includes ways to approach earth connection, healing and life. For this reason SpiralDancing is organized around the teachings of Grandfather Juan Ten Bears Yracébûrû, and founder Maria Yracébûrû, giving a context and framework for exploring self-fulfilling prophecy, or the story you write for yourself from this moment forward. These teachings remind you of your source and offer a way for you to tap your ancestral truth prior to dysfunction. This study work offers an appreciation of the energies of Earth Spirituality and helps heal generations past and future. The materials are presented in four segments, and strictly stick (meaning it flows all over the place) to the Earth cycles that make it self-paced. How can anyone tell you how much time you will need to put yourself together after your life of societal take-apart?! Each “circle” is relevant to the influence of cyclic time, spiraling and affecting all life relations. The subjects of the self-study vary and unfold as you discover the truth of your own identity. |
Program Content
In the tlish diyan oral tradition there are four Circles of Time. Each circle is considered to be a guiding force within our lives, an experience that re-turns us to knowing. Each of the four circles, or spirals, awakens something that has been hidden deep inside of you, waiting to be seen.
The program material is presented in two ways. First, the Circles of Time are presented as separate cycles of discovery. This makes it easier to assimilate the vast quantities of knowledge that are brought forth. Second the workbooks are presented, as your path of discovery. This gives you a very clear idea of cyclic time, as well as an overview of your journey.

Program Outline
The following is an overview of how the four Circles of Time play out. While workbooks touch on the basics, it is through the oral teachings, the monthly class, studygroup gathering and meeting with your Guardian-Mentor, that you truly become aware of the immense power contained within these teachings. Each Circle of time has a different theme and involves a different area of your life.
