Healing & Teaching Retreat weekend
The healing and teaching weekend is a retreat based on learning The Way of Earth Teachings.
This gives the direction and allows the participants to have the time and space to fully explore their relationship with themselves and the natural world around them. Holding it as a retreat allows us the time to really delve into and explore every aspect of you own healing journey as well as having time to sit and meditate on your questions to ask in the many circle that are held over the two days. The retreat is about healing, learning and growing in a safe and protected environment. We will mostly work in a group environment but every participant will have some one on one time with bear so that you will be able to ask any questions that you might not be comfortable asking in front of others. This is a free flowing retreat which allows the participants to guide the direction.
So if you have a group of no more than 12 people and wish to have this retreat in your area or have a retreat center and would like to facilitate a two day or week event please contact bear
Or if you wish to be informed of when one of these retreat will be held or have any questions please email bear:
However we choose to see the one who created all life doesn't matter. If you study many of the religions and beliefs of humanity you will find a simple common thread. That thread is that the creator of all life designed a mechanism that everything lives by.
Upon the Earth Mother many traditions and cultural beliefs devoted their journey to learning and understanding this way so that they could live in harmony and balance with everything around them. Indigenous peoples of the earth understood this as well as beliefs like Buddhism in its many forms. These traditions taught the people that walked them how to live not only in balance with their environment but also themselves.
Within the universe there are two main forces that exist, they are the force of order and the force of chaos. The universe works in a perpetual cycle between the two. In many ancient cultures you will find a symbol that represents this, it is the figure 8 on its side or the infinity symbol as it is commonly known.
A simple way of seeing how these two forces work within our lives is if you have a question that you need answered, you live in a form of chaos until you are able to find the answer. If you come across a person that you feel may know that answer you start the journey back to order by asking this person the question. The individual you are asking was in order until you asked them the question; they start to journey into chaos as they search their knowledge for the answer to your question. You are in the space of order because you have handed the responsibility of answering your question to the other person. When they find the answer and give it to you they move into order as they are handing the answer and the responsibility of the question back to you and you move back into chaos as you have to choose whether or not to accept the answer or how you can implement the answer in your life.
Within this simple example lies the secret to accepting that chaos is a natural part of our lives. We ask many questions of the people around us every day and without even thinking we accept the teachings of chaos. If we have it and experience it every day of our lives then when a larger experience of chaos comes into our lives like loss of job or relationship or wondering if we take that second mortgage. We are better able to accept that the feelings and the fear associated with this will, if we take the necessary steps move naturally back into order and balance.
If we can learn to accept that chaos is a natural part of our lives then we learn not to resist it and in this acceptance many aspects of our lives will become more fulfilling. I have observed that one of the main reasons that families and relationships have difficulties is that one member forcibly remains in order and those that are a part of the family of relationship are forced to remain in chaos. Eventually those that are forced to remain in chaos will bring order back to their lives by leaving the one who forcibly remains in order which sends them into chaos whether they like it or not. But in this way there is a price tag in that the family and or relationship can be over or in difficulties. If we can learn to accept chaos we can instead of fighting it seek the answers we need to move back into order and balance, understanding that we will move back into chaos again the next time we have a question or obstacle.
Within the Way of Earth we also learn to understand the environmental influences upon our lives, emotions and spirit. Within our own bodies is a complex eco-system that once understood can help us to achieve a greater sense of well being and physical balance. We also have an emotional ecosystem that is linked not only to the people around us but also the world we live in. This eco-system is as delicate as any eco-system in the world and can be altered by removing a single element from it. We all have positive emotions and what we are taught to see as negative emotions. With all emotions as with everything else in the universe all have a positive and negative aspect to them, within our emotional selves the secret is to explore our emotional self because as we explore we experience and through that experience we expand our understanding of ourselves and the life and world around us.
The Way of Earth is about understanding our relationship with ourselves and the world that surrounds us. During this workshop we will explore these aspects and many others.
