Our Philosophy

         

 

Quality of life is determined by the power and frequency of the ‘enriching’ experiences compared to the ‘diminishing’ experiences…and how we weave each of these experiences into each moment of our lives.

When honor, trust and respect are given and received …

a new level of relationship unfolds and

a deeper understanding for everyone involved unfolds.

Through ‘enriching’ experiences, an individual creates ‘freedom’

and becomes in-balance and harmony with ‘peace, adventure, truth and joy’,  therefore unfolding the Vision. Mission and Purpose of our work.

The way we see things, life is an opportunity to discover, explore, experience and to enrich our own lives and the lives of those who we care about. We can ‘choose’ love or ‘choose’ fear and which ever we ‘give’ so shall we ‘receive’.

Nature, adventure, risk, outdoor experiences, internal learning, compassion and focus all lead us to a better understanding of ourselves. When we understand the importance of our changes and transitions’ through natural phases of our lives, we can harness the power and use it in our lives for the better. One for sure thing…we are always changing.

When we honor our natural ‘changes’ our life becomes even more rich.

Natural ‘Rites of Passage’ happen every day … our birth, our first walking steps, loosing our first tooth, our first kiss, the onset of puberty, Jr. High graduation, our first sexual experience, getting our drivers license, going through High School graduation, the ceremony and commitment of marriage, birthing a child, going through a mid-life crisis, experiencing divorce and experiencing death are just to name a few or these natural ‘Rites of Passage’.

With awareness of our ‘natural changes’, we believe that we can prepare and understand ourselves better, collect our inner-power, shift our experience and live better lives.

We believe that every person, young or old has a good heart.

We believe that ‘change’ is one of the things that we can count on.

These ‘changes’ can be celebrated!  When we acknowledge our changes and create a celebration with ceremony and ritual around our changes, we can increase our passion, understand our life and  “walk in balance ” … with outer activity and inner-power.  The more we honor our natural ‘changes’, the stronger the individual we will become. With strength comes wisdom to become a balanced person.  And a balanced person leads a successful and happy life.

The Earth is changing all the time.

From Spring to Summer to Autumn to Winter...

From Cold to Hot, Wet to Dry, Still to Windy, Light to Dark and Busy to Quiet. Mother Nature is a great teacher.

Our philosophy works in partnership with Mother Nature.

Our teachings come from Earth-based teachers.

Our adventures are played out on the Earth.

Our personal-power is found on the Earth.

Our risks are supported by the Earth.

and

We grow to be more successful and happier humans with

our relationship with ourselves and the Earth.
