Journey Round The Wheel of Your Life

A 2 year Training With Leo Rutherford
First Year: November 2017 – July 2018

Leo RutherfordOne of the experiences that set me on the shamans’ path is a trip to Peru back in 1986 with Alberto Villoldo and Inca/Moche shaman Don Eduardo Calderon. This was framed as a journey to the Four Directions and it changed me for good. Ever since I have seen/sensed/felt and lived life from the perspective of and guided by the Medicine Wheel.

The Medicine Wheel is a circle of power and knowledge, a way of understanding life framed in circle. It teaches of our connection to all things. It shows us our way back to centre, our way home to ourself. The Medicine Wheel is not a belief system, but a way to see into life clearly, a series of diagrams to help understand the structure of life and how one action causes another. It teaches how to steer a good heart-full road through life’s many challenges.

The course will take the form of a journey, first on the Red Road-to the South (the past, the inner child the emotional body, water, and the qualities of trust and innocence) and the North (the future, the adult, the mental body, air, and the qualities of knowledge wisdom) second on the Blue Road – to the West (present moment, the inner spirit adult, the physical body, the earth and the qualities of self-knowledge) and the East (timeless, the magical child, the spirit, fire and the quality of personal power)

The Journey starts where we are and leads to greater self-knowledge, sense of empowerment, ability to manifest the life we really want to live, and feelings of satisfaction and joy in being the self that we are.
