This is a workshop for everyone, not just addicts.
The
aim of this workshop is to move towards metaphoric thinking, like indigenous
people think. The Native American Medicine Wheel models a four sided
transformational process that is both ancient and alive. The four directions of
the wheel describe our world, and their study allows them to be accessed as
guides on our personal journeys. We will explore how recent findings in Brain
Science inform our spiritual journeys. We will see how 'spiritual
practice' supports a life based on prayer, meditation and self-examination.
The
Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are the core transformational tool of the
modern self-help movement and they are the most successful method known for
addiction recovery. When worked with the Medicine Wheel, these two models
of transformation provide a powerful synergy. The steps offer clear imperatives
while the Medicine Wheel can answer the question, "What
step am I on?" This
is especially useful for those who are recovering from multiple addictions. But
even more significant is that the Medicine Wheel facilitates using the Twelve
Steps for life events other than alcoholism or addiction. This works for
all of life’s events, not just addictions. It puts the steps into practice in
all one's affairs.
