A Way of Council in the Kiva

This offering in the Kiva at True Nature Healing Arts offers a grounded exploration and practice of the ritual and way of Council – including working with the diverse and meaningful formats for engaging with the wisdom of the circle, the conversations that want to be had, and stoking the fire of the sacred ritual for coming together with one another and the Earth. About Council Council is a unifying and compelling way and practice of communicating which cultivates empathic and transparent connection. It is both a compass and a guide that grounds an interweaving of voices – spoken and unspoken. The practice of Council and the Wisdom of the Circle are rooted in our ancestral lineage. Many indigenous, earth-based communities gathered in the form of a circle as ritual for communicating together --- such as telling stories, seeking collective truth, visioning & revelations, seeking understanding, decision making, and problem-solving. Today, Council is found & practiced within cultures all around the world and brought into a variety of contexts in diverse communities, relationships, and educational settings helping to nurture the roots of authentic connection, meaningful dialogue, healthy individuation, and reciprocal interdependence. The fee for this offering is by donation, and donations are accepted through True Nature Healing Arts. Suggested donation is $18 - $30. This offering is facilitated by Alchemy of Prana’s co-founders, Thompson Bishop and Colleen Bishop.
