What am I going to learn?

YEAR 1:
THE MEDICINE WALK

Everything you learn will be taught in the old way, in a circular fashion, in the form of a wheel. Every position on a wheel has its specific elemental quality, and one can immediately see interconnections to the other positions or energy qualities on the wheel. All the wheels connect, deepening the knowledge with each new wheel you are taught.

Circular knowledge accesses our right brain which opens up body memory and inner knowing. Our left brain – logical, rational, step-by-step – can then use that knowledge appropriately. Instead of using just 10-20 percent of our mind, we can use the whole thing. Our mind is incredible. It extends beyond all time, space and dimensional realities. And it creates these realities for us depending on how much access we have.
