Voices of a group can be heard
The way of council is ancient. A way given to me by Gigi Coyle who received it from Hopi Elders. Council is the way the voices of a group can be heard. In essence a group sits in a circle and a talking stick passes round as each person in the circle has the opportunity to speak without interruption and be heard, but there is much more beneath the obvious.
There are 7 precepts
- We speak from the heart.
- We speak truth.
- We speak spontaneously.
- We keep it brief.
- We never interrupt.
- The good the bad and the very ugly all have place.
- What arises in the circle remains in the circle.
Words are arising directly from the field
The heart is understood to be the gateway to the field of pure awareness that has no form. It has no words. When we speak spontaneously from the heart, and listen with an open heart, words are arising directly from the field return directly to it without the interference of the prejudices, preferences, judgements or agenda of the EGO.
In these Council sessions there will be no agenda. They will be a spontaneous arising of whatever is in the field.

In these Council sessions there will be no agenda. They will be a spontaneous arising of whatever is in the field. The Witness Council is one of two circles. A women and a men circle. The inner circle sit in Council as described above and the outer circle sit in silent witness. When the 1st council comes to a natural end the roles are reversed.

Explore the nature of our wings
This is an old path.
A path walked for thousands of years.The two wings are discipline and surrender. Two wings in our practice, and our householder's life. Each wing has many feathers.
When we are young
our feathers are not fully formed
and flight is not easy.
In these sessions we will explore,
the nature of the wings,
the feathers we need,
and how they grow to be strong and powerful
Powerful enough for us ride the roughest of winds.The Value of Grahams “Two Wings on the Bird – An Introduction”-Workshop
An overview of the following 7 sessions.
Anyone attending all 7 sessions is Wellcome to apply for the Journey of no Distance Year Program, without the normal requirement of the Base Camp foundation workshop.

How do we grow and use our willingnes
Without willingness there will be no leap and we will live and die in the safety of the nest.
The nest of our fears, prejudices and preferences. How do we grow and use our willingness?
In our practice and our daily life.

A warriors leap
It is a heroic thing,
to stand on the edge of the known and leap.
It is a warriors leap.
Learning to leap from the safe and secure,
is that which takes us beyond,
and is absolutely necessary if we are to fly. - 1 x TWO WINGS ON THE BIRD – FEATHER 3 FEARLESSNESS, Achtsamkeit | Workshop

The cage of EGO
We need to look ruthlessly,
at the bars of the cage in which we live.
Without this feather we will always have an excuse,
and fly in circles,
in the familiarity of the cage of EGO.
How does this fearlessness feather grow? - 1 x TWO WINGS ON THE BIRD – FEATHER 4 CLARITY, Achtsamkeit | Workshop

Clarity is a razor sharp sword
Clarity arrives when we look fearlessly
at the bars of our cage.
Clarity reveals the cage and its bars to be forged by mind
from the substance of our fears.
This clarity is a razor sharp sword
that in the hands of a warrior's fearlessness
will cut through any imprisonment
To leave us awake to silent empty awareness. - 1 x TWO WINGS ON THE BIRD – FEATHER 5 SURRENDER, Achtsamkeit | Workshop

The spaciousness of freedom
We reside in the cage of EGO,
to avoid knowing the spaciousness of freedom.
Spaciousness tends to make us,
shrink back into the security of our cage.If the feather of courage is strong
we will surrender to spacious emptiness
leaving behind who we thought ourselves to be. - 1 x TWO WINGS ON THE BIRD – FEATHER 6 TRUST, Achtsamkeit | Workshop

Trust that we have not made a wrong turn
This is not trust in anything or anyone
apart from the innate trust in self.
We have been brought to formless emptiness
by our willingness, courage, fearlessness, clarity and
surrender
Trust that we have not made a wrong turn
will allow us to stay and know ourselves
In a new way. - 1 x TWO WINGS ON THE BIRD – FEATHER 7 FLIGHT, Achtsamkeit | Workshop

Our wings naturally unfurl as the wind rises
In knowing ourselves as formless emptiness,
clinging no longer has substance to cling to.
Our wings naturally unfurl as the wind rises,
and with an impulse arising from nowhere... we leap,
the wind gathers under our wings
and takes us into the open sky of now.
Live in gratitude for the beauty and simplicity
If we are not to keep going round in circles...
we need Two wings on the Bird
Practice... and living of it in daily life
Discipline and Surrender.
At 70 I look back, and recognise my life in these words, and live in gratitude for the beauty and simplicity bestowed by them.
In this crazy world with its everyday wonders and cruelties, I find myself deeply blessed and awake, to the good, the bad, and the very ugly, in which we play.
If our world is to change
My only knowing is,
that it is we who must change.
When we are full, and see the other... not as other
but as brother, sister, lover.
We will not harm ourselves, each other, or our earth.
My prayer is we understand and act upon this simplicity,
before it is too late.
Invitation to undertake a Journey of re-connection to silent formless awarenes
Peacebuildings is a project designed to transfer that wisdom and offer an invitation to undertake a journey of re-connection to silent formless awareness. A Journey of no Distance.
The re-connection to interconnected silent awareness is the foundation for a world where we have the strength and wisdom to move beyond actions promoting division and personal or group survival, to ones supporting peace, sustainability and mutual well being.
We are the Problem we are the Solution
I have spent a life falling into bear traps and having to unearth the source of my foolishness in order to make my way out. It is my pleasure to offer the fruit of that experience and a vision of a future where we all play our part in the collective well being of our planet at the wasserFEST.
