Nature of Council

Council is an ancient way and modern practice whose roots are deep within the natural world, spanning diverse cultures and spiritual traditions. Sitting in circle we remember and learn to listen to the whole: the people, the place and all living things. This practice elicits an experience of deep community, recognizing that each voice has value, every person has a gift, a story to share, a piece of the puzzle.

Nearly every culture on earth shows evidence of ceremonial marking of life transitions: bringing intention, self-generated ceremony and ritual into passages from one life phase to another, undertaken consciously, and witnessed by the community. An initiation marking our lives passages, confirming our birth rites and unique participation in the world, can be an integral part of healthy human development.
