Ancestral Wisdom for Challenging Times
AVAILABLE NOW!
A 7-Week Video Immersion
About the Course
Are you feeling overwhelmed by what is going on in the world? We are all facing unprecedented challenges every day. What if there was a set of guidelines, principles, and philosophies that could help us face these challenging times? What if ancient cultures not only foresaw these times and challenges we faced but actually lived through similar or harder times?
Could there be wisdom and advice that might help us figure out a way forward?
That is exactly what Tony Ten Fingers, Lakota teacher, mentor, storyteller and author and Nate Summers, survival skills expert, author, and nature mentor will be looking at and exploring in this seven week series.
​
The course will consist of live weekly Zoom classes starting Saturday August 28th. AIl of the classes will be recorded and available for viewing at your convenience. In the course, we will look at specific practices, tools, and techniques to help us all be more individually resilient and connected and how to build a more resilient culture and community including:
-The Seven Stage of Life from a Lakota Perspective and the rites and ceremonies associated with each (this will form the core bones and frame of the course)
​
-Seven different key components for building and regenerating nature and culture all around us including Storytelling, Rites of Passage, Ceremony, Identity, Original Instructions, and more!
​
-Take home field exercises and journal practices each week to incorporate into your daily life
-A lively, alive, inspired, adaptive class feeling each week as we work with participants' specific questions, concerns, and experiences to craft each class to what's really going on.
​
-Additional Topics may include: Survival Skills, Original Human Nature, Our Relationship with the Elements, Creating Ceremony, and Building Regenerative Relationships with People and Nature.
​
By the end of the course, you will be have a set of new tools and teachings to help prepare your for our changing world. You will also have the opportunity to reimagine your life through the lens of our ancient hunter-gatherer roots and how we might all build safe, regenerative, and resilient communities for ourselves, the planet, and others. Recordings of all classes will be available to participants!
