Mother Earth and Me • Weekend Intensive 3
Darkest before the dawn, final days of the old ways. Celebrate, growth and flight into the future.

October 31 - November 2, 2008
Mother Earth and Me • Weekend Intensive 4
Put your dark side to good use. Make it a part of the solution not the problem.
Our dark side is not our enemy, it is the tiger within that comes between us and threat. Often when we were young we were told the tiger is bad and needs to be caged. Instead, this powerless position can be healed freeing the tiger, keeping it well fed and allowing it’s existence to command respect.

“Your children are not your children they are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you, though they are with you they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies, but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you for life does not go backwards, nor does it tarry with yesterday. You are the bow from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The Archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite and he bends you with His might so that His arrow may go swift and far. Let your bending in the Archer’s hands be for gladness For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.*
The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran
(New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1951) pp. 17-18
