Nothing I have ever seen with my eyes
was so clear and bright as what my vision showed me;
and no words that I have ever heard with my ears
were like the words I heard.
I did not have to remember these things;
they have remembered themselves all these years.
It was as I grew older that the meanings came clearer and clearer out of the pictures and the words;
and even now I know that more was shown to me
than I can tell..

This program deals with Earth-based spirituality and healing practices from The Americas.
Each highly experiential session incorporates, along with meditation, journeying, writing, story-telling and occasionally a theatrical or art project time, alone outside in the Elements. Optional homework assignments are provided along with ideas for field trips and additional learning opportunities to support Mystery School are offered on a
monthly basis.
Called shamanism by some, the teachings we learn in Wisdom of the Americas have to do as much with becoming an intermediary between the natural and spiritual world as developing a strong interest in our surrounding environment and the society in which we are a part.
Unless otherwise indicated, Wisdom of the Americas is held at the same time and place each month.

I have seen as if someone
Opens a door
and the door is closed.
I have had nightmares,
But not ordinary ones.
I have seen myself
Introduced through a
Hole in the air,
and I went through an
Immense, immense void.
