"We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now.
This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism..."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Indeed, Now is a powerful time. The beginning of the year, the beginning of our return towards the sun, the summer, the Light. The first full moon of the year, and the season of celebrating the Great Work of a simple and courageous man by the name of King.
From the heart of this Sacred Valley, under the watchful eye of our guardian mountain, Chief Peak, I have been hearing a message loud and clear. It is a message of Truth, a message of Justice, a message of Activism, and a message of Peace.
We are being called to march for Change, as our forefathers did nearly 50 years ago. But this march is not against the system, not to the capital or to city hall. This is an inner journey, one that asks us to remember the ancient art of pilgrimage, and to take ourselves OUT of the system, back into the embrace of Mother Nature.
The Chief is sending a message: the Spirit of Chief Peak is calling to the Chief within. Calling to the King, to the Queen, to that noble and courageous part of us that is ready for radical change, radical transformation, willing to speak up, ready to be a leader and to walk up the mountain beyond our own limitations to find that clear view of the horizon, the new day that is dawning.
Sunday Night January 16th, at the Ojai Medicine Wheel, I will be hosting a Men's Council Fire for Chiefs and Kings, and those of us who aspire to live up to the legacy left to us by our forefathers. These fires have grown quickly, and have become a stronghold for those brothers who are committed to walking this path of the Razor's Edge. Please see the flyer attatched.
Monday Morning January 17th, in observation the national Holy Day, we will gather at 8:30am and share a simple breakfast. We will be departing from the Ojai Medicine Wheel at 9am and carrying our prayers for peace, justice, change, up the mountain to one of the most Sacred of sites in the Ojai Valley, Chief Peak. Along the way, we will meet the indigenous plant spirits that will serve as our guides and offer us medicine, and learn to walk in the beauty way of the Medicine Wheel, such that on our return, our way of moving in the world is not only renewed, but revolutionized. If you "have a Dream" this is the place and the time to speak it and let it "ring from every mountain side..." Please see the flyer attatched.
For anyone interested in doing both, camping and accomodations are available on request. Spouses and partners are welcome to come Sunday night as well and enjoy the magic of the Ojai valley as the brothers keep the fire.
I can honestly say that there has been no practice on my spiritual and journey that has proved more immediate and tangible transformation, clarity, and healing than pilgrimage. It is without a doubt one of the best ways I know to get out of your own way, and let spirit guide and carry you.
Thank you for the bright light you are in the world, and I look forward to walking up the mountain with those of you who are ready to speak your Dreams in the presence of the Chief, the King, and the Queen of Nature.
