The mission of the Ojai Medicine Wheel is to bring us back to the Heart of Nature, as to help us Find our MEDICINE, in order that we can find our own Hearts. Pilgrimage and Vision questing are ancient practices that take us out of our daily grind and transport us into the realm of our spirit path. The Medicine Wheel is a circuit of sacred sites and centers around the Ojai Valley, and a network of healers and visionaries on the spiritual path, and has its Heart on a two acre permaculture farm surrounded by avocado and orange groves, and backed by hundreds of thousands of acres of wilderness, a veritable living library.

Doing it All Wrong...




Sometimes you just have to accept that things are not what you thought they were going to be...

Some lessons, I say to my stubborn self, I must really need to learn the hard way. 

I'm a guy who sees big, sees the horizon, Eagle eye to the bigger plan unfolding.  But sometimes, as my good friend D Miller of Project Butterfly pointed out to me the other day, I forget to take the steps to get there, thinking I can jump right from here to the horizon in one leap.  (we've got wings, right?)

So it occurred with the program I offered recently, The World of the Serpent, which is the first in a 5 part Medicine Wheel training series.  I got so much amazing feedback, but also a lot of questions which made me realize that it wasn't even totally clear what the Medicine Wheel IS!   Right...So...Any good journey must start from the beginning, and luckily one of my gifts is adaptability.  Like the water, I go with the flow, and in the Spirit of the Serpent, which is about shedding the past, and being vulnerable, and finding our power, I've recreated the upcoming weekend.

Find Your Medicine is a weekend immersion into our deep connection with the Earth, with the elements, with Spirit, and an opportunity to get an Eagle's eye view of the Medicine Wheel.  We will be sitting in Council with the Sacred Fire, activating our divine genetics with Shamanic Acupuncture, making friends with the spirits of native plant medicines, eating local organic food, and even returning to the womb in a Sweat Lodge ceremony with Dr. Tudor Marinescu.

The Wheel is where East meets West, and the medicine traditions of the North meet the ancestral ways of the South.  In this Sacred Valley, the Eagle and Condor are prophesied to fly together, and the new Civilization is birthing as we speak.  During this weekend, we will listen deeply to the land, to our hearts, and reveal the Medicine that is all around and more importantly, within us.

This weekend is for you if:
  • You have been feeling disconnected from the Earth, nature, Spirit. 
  • You have a calling that has been on the back burner for too long.
  • Something has told you that you are or have been a shaman...
  • You are ready to move beyond old patterns of scarcity, separation, and suffering.  
  • You've been in the city too long, and need a weekend sleeping on the Earth and living in ceremony.  
The intention is for this to be an intimate and powerful initiation into the Medicine Wheel journey, and all proceeds from this weekend will go to support the land, the Wheel, and it's stewards.  I have made it as affordable as possible, and if you are able to commit sooner than later, I can offer an additional 10% discount and a 2-pay  option.

Cost: $400 (10% off until Feb. 18th; 2-pay option available on request.)

Peace,

eric
