The Delicate Lodge Teachings

The Delicate Lodge Teachings are deeply rooted in the ancient native cultures of the Americas which, according to its lineage and mythology, has been evolving for 35,000 years. It flourished among the Mayans and Toltecs and those who walked before them, It is the basis of many indigenous North, Central and South American native understandings, and is evidenced in cultures like the ancient peoples of Chaco Canyon and the Mound Builders of Mississippi.

The 'Old Ones' who have passed down the Delicate Lodge teachings are among the many elders from indigenous cultures around the world who are saying "it is time.." ...time to call forth the best of our human wisdom to respond to the challenges in our world. Many of those challenges are inner ones - mirrored in our outer world. The current unprecedented upheavals in the global economy and climate show us that there is much to achieve in restoring 'right relationship' within ourselves. From there, we can create the change needed in our communities and our world.

Both profound and highly practical, these teachings from the oral traditions of indigenous peoples of the Americas show us what is needed for humans to live together in harmony while at the same time honoring individual freedom and self authority. The ”Old Ones” taught from the deep knowing that we are innately Sacred Beings not separate from "All Our Relations"... ”All That Is” .
