Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

• Say what you mean and mean what you say.
• Let Yes mean Yes and No mean No.
• Know that it is perfectly OK to have an unexpressed thought!
• Remember, words have the power to heal and they can also do irreparable harm.

Don't Take ANYTHING Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dram, their own illusion. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Don't Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

• When you Assume you make an Ass out of U and Me!

ALWAYS Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self judgement, self abuse and regret.

• Forget woulda, coulda, shoulda - what is done is done - stay in the moment and move forward from here.

Join us for this Dynamic and Intense Two-Day Workshop

A Life Changing Journey through Living the Four Agreements

We request that you Please read the book before attending this workshop.

March 19 and 20, 2011

9:00 am to 9:00 pm each day

We will end Saturday's session with a Firewalk and Sunday's session with a Lodge Ceremony, a Sacred Sweat in Celebration of Life and the Spring Equinox

We humbly request that you bring an old blanket or quilt to lay over the lodge to add your love and healing energy to the prayers offered within.

This workshop is usually taught over the course of four weekends.  Because of the times we are living in, we are condensing these teachings into an intense and dynamic 2-day workshop. We will explore why Living the Four Agreements can be a challenge as we delve deep into our early lives to root out old agreements and realize how we learned to live according to the agreements that were rooted in the opinions of others and their reactions to us. We will look at how, out of years of habit, we have not paid attention to how we express ourselves and how the responses that come from our mouths are often automatic - learned from years of living by the agreements that were instilled in us during childhood. We will begin to see how those old agreements have led us to make false assumptions that we are not even consciously aware of which then lead us to take things personally -- things that don't have anything to do with us.

This is the Challenge of the Spiritual Warrior. For those who decide to adopt the Four Agreements and create love and happiness in their lives, the Journey is Spiritual because it is about living YOUR life. However, it is also referred to as "war" because you are challenging all of the old fear-based beliefs and agreements within your own mind . . . it will not be instantaneous . . . it will take more than a weekend to break free of your own layers of fear, the tyranny of your own inner judgement, old emotional habits. BE the Warrior . . . dare to live your life with unconditional love, gratitude and respect for yourself . . . for others . . . and for the earth that we live upon.

The Universe is My Country

The Human Family is My Tribe

~ Kahlil Gibran

A common thread that bonds all indigenous peoples is the ideal of wellness.  "Wellness can be defined as the state when the mind, the body, and the spirit are all connected and in balance. One cannot be separated from the other. The Medicine Circle -- having no beginning and no end -- represents this concept of harmonious unity.

The Medicine Wheel or Medicine Circle is symbolic of the Great Wheel of Life. Respect and understanding of Indigenous People's concepts of creation and its interplay with life and nature are foremost. The Medicine Wheel gives language to archetypal images of the "Four Great Directions" of the "Circle of Life", or "Circle of Law". Within this circle are all forms of life: animal, plant, mineral, human; held in four elements of nature: earth, air, fire, and water. Understanding these forms and how they manifest in the People's view of the world gives language and understanding to the complexities of self, and our individual and community relation to the world.
