It needs courageous, heart-centred, turned-on and activated beings who are truly empowered. Beings who are fully embodied, fully present and ready to engage their creation. The New Earth needs YOU.

Our old spiritual traditions and our modern cultures have often perpetuated toxic and disempowering ideas about the human experience.

Religions have created the entrenched idea that our bodies, and our sexuality, are somehow an impediment to the spiritual path. They are seen as the ‘evil enemy’ that we need to conquer or overcome in order to become enlightened! We are told that we will achieve some kind of spiritual reward for our sacrifice of the pleasures of the flesh and this world. 

Spiritual seekers are taught to focus only on the “love and light,” positive affirmation and law of attraction – ignoring, or bypassing, any of the ‘heavier’ aspects of being, including shadow, and anything associated with the body or with this Earth reality. In New Age spirituality, all kinds of disempowering ideas are promoted, for example: Earth is a “prison planet,” or home is “out there,” that financial abundance is somehow not spiritual, or even that the ego needs to be killed!

Some of the most well-intentioned spiritual systems often become the very obstacles on the path, and many of them become merely an exercise in mental masturbation, complexity and philosophical thought, rather than an embodied reality.

It is no better in our contemporary and popular culture!

Sexuality, sensuality and pleasure is commoditized and irreverent. We are taught to reject our bodies, to distrust our physical needs, and to ignore and overwrite our body’s inherent intelligence. At every turn, we are invited out of the present moment, out of the body, and into the mind.

The result?
A generation of people who are unrooted, imbalanced, disconnected, and ineffectual.
People who are suffering through dull, depressing, exhausting and seemingly un-magical lives. 
People living ‘lives of quiet desperation’.
People who feel lost, disempowered, disconnected or confused as to their purpose in life. 
People who feel uncomfortable, ashamed of, or unsafe in their bodies. People who continuously struggle with money - either never quite making ends meet, or feeling that money is somehow ‘dirty’ or ‘contaminated’. 
People who are living with a deep, aching longing for home; for a place where they feel belonging, where they feel seen and accepted.

As humans we can all identify with these common concerns; we all share the same suffering. But we can all find resolution to these very human difficulties in the same, unbelievably simple way - by returning to the deep wisdom of our bodies!

Enlightenment is Physical, Home is Here

This may sound surprising to you, considering that most spiritual paths focus on the upper four chakras: heart, throat, third eye and crown, and completely disregard the lower three, namely, solar plexus, sacral and root.

There seems to be a deep misunderstanding in the spiritual community about physicality: that somehow spirit is different from matter. That matter is profane, and spirit is holy, and that you can somehow separate them.

If you really think about it…or rather, FEEL about it, you will soon find a much different truth – that there is no difference between spirit and matter! Your body, your world and everything in it, IS spirit. All of it holy. 

Because of this, the body is actually a wonderful ally on the ascension path. In fact, for some of us, the body, our sensuality and our sexuality, ARE the path to our enlightenment. This is the ‘down-and-in’ path, as opposed to the ‘up-and-out’ path, and it is incredibly potent.

This is because the body is a secret and magical doorway into higher states of consciousness. Not only is it a secret doorway, but it also comes pre-equipped with all that you need to heal and awaken your consciousness. The body is a direct messenger of the Spirit, perfectly reflecting your truths and distortions.

Truly, you need not look far to find home. The door back home has always been right here, right now - and you can find it by becoming deeply present to the body!

“From a certain lens, awakening is a purely biological and physical process…you’re hacking the hardware, not the software. It has little to do with thought and ideas.” – Frank Yang (The Natty Arhat)

Deep in your very blood and bones is the wisdom of your Divine Self, along with the mechanisms for your evolution. Your Divine Self knew exactly what it was doing when it decided to experience incarnation as You, through, and as, the body. There is no mistake. Your body is perfect for you and it wants to be your ally. 

The Path of Unity is the Path of Integration

How can you reach the heavens without having strong roots?
How can you become an empowered creator with only half of your power?
How can you become a unified whole if you live in subtle (or overt) rejection of your body, your emotions, your ego, your shadow, or even incarnation and the world?

It just doesn’t work.

We cannot ascend our consciousness if we are leaving large parts of who we are behind. The true spiritual path is one of finding love and compassion for ALL aspects of ourselves, even (or especially) those that we consider to be the least lovable. This includes all the lost, disallowed, sidelined parts of ourselves, such as our shadow, as well as all aspects of our physical, emotional, sensual and sexual being.

Once we have loved and integrated all parts of ourselves, then we begin to connect with our most authentic self, which is, in fact, our Divine Self!

As we start to inhabit this Divine aspect of ourselves, we begin to truly experience the reality that YOU are the other ME. And so Unity Consciousness dawns.

Therefore, it is really important for all of us to include the body in our spiritual path. We cannot simply transcend it and leave it behind.

Your Journey

The Deep Body Wisdom path is a 48-week initiation course which focuses on the direct experience of the body. Although we will learn a lot of theory, the main focus is on translating that theory into a deeply felt, personal experience in the body and senses.

You will learn about the five bodies that make up your being: physical, emotional, mental, energetic and etheric. You will learn how to become present to the needs of each of these bodies, how to sense them, and how to work with them.

Deep Body Wisdom is a path of integration and wholeness, as well as an initiatory core course for ONEtribe. Therefore, you will be taking a brave deep-dive into shadow work. Alongside your fellow Tribemates, you will learn about your own personal shadow, and begin the process of integrating the lost and disallowed parts of yourself that are operating from your unconscious, and often sabotaging your life.

Together, we will begin to release the trapped trauma in our bodies and nervous systems from past experiences, beginning the process of deep healing on the level of all five bodies.

During the course, you will also learn about the masculine/feminine polarity and how this dance of complimentary energies expresses itself in all forms. You will learn to bring your own inner masculine and feminine into balance, and explore how this looks in your life. You will learn about what it means to be a self-responsible and creator conscious being, and begin to take bold steps in the direction of your most magnificent reality.

Ultimately, this path is about finding, and expressing, radical self love and acceptance as we learn how to become intimate with life, empowered and present in our daily experience, both in our own inner experience, and externally in our relationships with others. There will be plenty of guidance, support and experiential journeys to help you to experience your very own deep body wisdom.

Our year’s journey culminates in a 3-day deeply transformative experience, called The Great Work, in which all the learning of the past year is put into practice. This is the graduation ceremony for the Initiate year.
