ACADEMY OFFERINGS

In many indigenous ways the circle of directions not only represents the technology and teachings of the east, south, west and north but stages of a persons growth and learning cycles. Traditionally each direction is held by guardian of wisdom including different animals, rocks, elements and more.
 
Because this academy is taught from a woven tradition it draws upon the imagery and relationships of four main wisdom guardians : bee, cacao, jaguar, and hummingbird. Representing the East, south, west and north.

HUMMINGBIRD RITE OF PASSGE CIRCLES:

Ik' 3 Breath PRACTICE

 

®

IK': Indigenous Breath for re-connection

 

Practicing Liberating Connection through reclaiming and re-creating rites of passage

​

The Ik’ Three Breath Practice comes to us at a time when the world no longer has rites of passage which celebrates the stages of who we are in relation to our own path of wisdom.

 

This has led humanity to find itself in crisis, a time of war and dismantling of systems. This is an evolution and weaving of multiple practices, which have had to change to deal with the accelerating speed and consumption of the western world. Indigenous traditions are living traditions that change, not systems of culture frozen in time and space like a photograph.

 

We are devouring ourselves, faster and faster. 

 

The medicine has had to change.

This path is first one of deep healing from the wounds and shadows of colonization which has contributed to  disconnection, patriarchy, overconsumption, genocide, global warming and the separation of humanity from nature. Once the student slowly starts to remember their own unique path of radical self love and connection to all the  ancestors and their role of stewardship to earth mother then they can step into leading slow medicine workshops, teaching circles and or healing. applying indigenous technologies to their own modalities and communities.
