• Embodiment - Connecting with our natural rhythms, our senses and sensations, we ground ourselves in matter, tilling the earth of our beings, stepping ever more consciously in the sacred soils of our lives. • Heartfullness - We dare to love in this life, opening to the truths of our hearts and how our vast feeling life reveals our expanding capacities to discern the world and love it ever more deeply. • Creative Wild Child - Out of the story, into the glory. Mother and Father bloodlines are welcomed. Revelation unfolds through carefully orchestrated ancestoral body-centered inquiry. Where do I come from? Who am I … really? • Intimacy - Sourced from the belly of our bodies and the truths of our hearts, we are more able to make conscious choices versus simply reacting to our upbringings. We then fuel new pathways between our creative callings and our longing for intimate reunion. • Destiny - Soul calls us home, beckoning us to step into the future now. Community witnesses and welcomes each initiate into life, honoring the one who is now twice born. Together, we then weave the fabric of connection, celebrating the essence of each other’s ways. • Community - May our shared dreams and the urgent need for cultural renewal continue to weave us in heart and action … … in service of peace. at the Shambala Mountain Center
