Will
possibly will talk to us about Community in action !
(or something like that)
I have little notion of what I will say until I stand up. That said, I list in this direction:
When you sit in a vision circle or a sweat lodge or a meditation, two questions keep presenting themselves. These questions often come through wild creatures and sometimes through ancestral spirits. Sometimes they are dramatic while at other times quiet, subtle. The vision circle and the sweat lodge melt away the cultural layers until the questions throb with every beat of our hearts.
These questions are simply:
What is my true identity?
What is my place in creation?
Then, a third question arises. Who is it that asks these questions?
We will use these three questions to move up and down the sacred sprial in our time together in Cloudcroft. Expect a wild trip where we aim a loosening our holds on whatever belief/maps we carry so that Sacred Mystery can pluck the strings of our hearts in an entirely new way.
On the other hand I may not speak in this area at all.
Dr. Will Taegel is a hybrid. The integral approach started when his great grand mother, Tilitha, was brought to Texas as a Shawnee slave. She married a slave trader. These opposites show up in him as pscyhotherapist/spiritual teacher, scientist/shaman, golfer/wilderness guide, part-time jerk/great guy, lone wolf/founder of Earthtribe. He is the author of seven books who didn't speak a word until he was four years old. He likes to gawk at the night sky after watching Seinfeld re-runs with Dr. Judith Yost, his wife who has been nominated for sainthood for living with all these opposites.

Quote from Will's EarthTribe web site:
"Now, I say, is the time to build a tapestry that has pieces of all of the revelations. We cannot afford in this crucial time to limit ourselves to any one spiritual epiphany.
We
value a vision that embraces the broad thrust of the world's mytho/poetic
visions. We invite our sojourners to move beyond their religions of origin to
embrace the greater Whole while at the same time returning when it seems right
to their religion and family of origin to find the unique reason they left the
eternal circle as a soul to journey into that particular energy system. "
