THE TEACHING OF THE WEST TO NORTH – WATER TO AIR
The Sacred Tree and the 12 steps are both a path to deep healing leading to both gratitude and serenity – the journey from Fall (West) to Winter (North), heading into the dark night of the soul, the shortest day. Time for candles, good friends, good food, and celebrating the return of old man winter.
In this seven week class, we will prepare ourself to begin the journey inward and downward into the teachings of the teachers of the North direction – our minds.
This class is about walking around the wheel of life and living with a whole heart. Heartspace and both/and. We are coming from Fall into the longest night on the winter solstice and once again – learning to find spirits will for us and telling our stories.
The North is the journey from the shortest day to the longest day. In Celtic lore, the winter solstice is when all the people who have crossed over went back home to the light.
My last drunken Christmas was in 1975 and I am approaching 51 years alcohol free in January and weave the 12 step teachings into Red Road teachings.
Three significant gifts are: freedom from love, freedom from hate, freedom from knowledge.
