Earth Circle Spiritual Leadership Training

This training is designed to empower those who wish to serve in an Earth centered way. We all have the opportunity to serve, first ourselves and then those in our circle of influence. However we often lack the co-creative power that can sustain the deep transformation at the core of effective service.

In contrast with indigenous people, who experience immersion in a physical world that is Sacred, in our culture, even our spirituality is often disembodied, leaving us in a daily struggle attempting control the material world.

When we answer the call of the More-Than-Human-World, we are asked to enter a passionate relationship with the dynamic, responsive holographic universe. In this new relationship we discover our authentic power in a co-creative collaboration with the Family of Life. We experience a profound shift from the doer of our life to the lover and determiner of our life. The question is no longer what to do but how to be in life.

ECSLT OUTLINE

ECSLT is

  • An Experiential Spiritual Process of Self-Transformation to prepare people for Earth Centered Service to the Family of Life.
  • Limited to 10 participants.


In ECSLT we:

  • Spend time in with Nature, with the Elementals, in Sacred Pipe Ceremony, Sweat Lodge and Questing ‘on the Land’.
  • • Experience the profound Spiritual holographic Relationships of Life and Spirit revealed in the Sacred Twenty Count Wheel.
  • Go beyond our ‘comfort zone’ to find the joy and love at the core of our authentic Place within the Oneness of Life.
  • Make the shift from experiencing ourselves as a separate self to the deep joy found in loving alignment with the Earth Family.
  • Become ‘conversant’ in the sensual co-creative language of Life- with the Elementals, the Earth, the Moon, the Stars, the Plants, the Animals and the Minerals.
  • Know beyond all doubt what is important and why we are here.
  • Find the power and passion to share our unique gift with the world.


The ECSLT :

  • Began in April of 2006.
  • Is a two-year program, committed to one year at a time.
    • The first year will focus on personal development of a foundation of co-creative living within the Family of Life.
    • The second year will build on this foundation in the development of each person’s unique personal path of service to all of the Family of Life.
    • Ordination as a Minister in the Congregation of the Family of Life is offered to those interested at completion of the two year program.

Each Year of ECSLT consists of:

    • Distinctly authentic in gifts and challenges.
    • Equal in value, worth and love.
  • Meet from 6:30 Friday evening Until 5:00 Sunday Evening.


Between the ECSLT weekends we will be supported by:
