Workshops Offered by Native American Teachers
- Alberto Villoldo, PhD.
The last descendants of the Inka have remained in monastic isolation for five hundred years, high in the mist shrouded, sacred mountains of southern Peru. According to ancient prophecy, it is the time of the great gathering and reintegration of the Peoples of the Four Directions, bringing renewed order and harmony in the universe.
The Q'ero believe it is time to release their teachings to the West, in preparation of the day the Eagle of the North and the Condor of the South will fly together again. The Inka are the "Keepers of the Time to Come", and of the rites of passage to who we are becoming.
Dr. Alberto Villoldo is a psychologist and medical anthropologist, trained for more than twenty years in classical Inka Shamanism. He is founder of The Four Winds Society and author of numerous books including Island of the Sun and Dance of the Four Winds.
The Four Winds Society is an educational organization dedicated to preserving and sharing a 100,000 year old tradition of power and knowledge, to achieve personal and planetary healing.
Our training programs offer individuals an opportunity to explore the realms of the soul, of nature, and the ancient shamanic rites-of-passage. We learn to acquit ourselves of the past, to free ourselves from fear by learning the ways of the Luminous Warrior, discover the ways of the Sage, walk with beauty along the way of the Visionary, and learn powerful skills useful in daily living.

- Hyemeyohsts Storm & Swan Storm.
Teachings of the Medicine Wheels.
Join Hyemeyohsts Storm and his partner in life and medicine, Swan storm, as they introduce the compelling wisdom of the Medicine Wheels that he has shared in his new book, Lightningbolt.

- Hyemeyohsts Storm & Swan Storm.
Meeting our Earth.
In our time, the fragility of our continued existence on Earth is awakening humanity to the urgent need to learn and respect the natural laws and balance of Earth. In the ancient Americas there existed a sophisticated spiritual philosophy and earth science known as the Way of the Medicine Wheels, the teachers and scholars of which were called Zero Chiefs. Hyemeyohsts Storm, a person of mixed Northern Cheyenne and German blood, first introduced this knowledge to the general public in his classic book, Seven Arrows.
The Medicine Wheels teach of the quintessential balance in creation -- that between male and female and how it must be restored to bring healing to our troubled world. Their wisdom speaks to all races, religions, and cultures. During this teaching event, the Storms will interweave dignified ancient dance, song, and contemplation with their sharing of this native wisdom tradition. The goal will be the building of a sacred Medicine Wheel both within ourselves and upon the Earth dedicated to healing our human relationship with the living planet.
