An excerpt from a longer interview of Eagle talking about the vision story as a prophecy keeper and relatedness of the Renewable Wisdom Trails as spoken in the oral tradition.
Announcing 100Hr Education and Training Program
Through this offering, you are invited to participate in these ways of the Keepers and continue to keep alive natures teachings in the way of the Oral Tradition. Teachings, trainings, and experiences will provide guidance for living in balance with Nature. The journey held within this program shall be exploring, healing ancestral imprints, and making lifestyle adjustments using Renewable Wisdom. The knowledge and guidelines presented will be a key to unlock access the Great Mystery and all its bounty. Our sensory perception will strive to see with new eyes and ears of all worlds of your environment. Critical thinking and critical healing will be presented through the Renewable Wisdom Trails cosmology and tradition. This program offering is the passing on of these teachings held in the bundle’s basket and ready for release to a dedicated group, willing and able, to receive in the many dynamics.
A small group (5 minimum, 8 maximum), 100-hour course offering ‘Science, Art, and Craft of Renewable Wisdom Trails’ is forming and will be starting in the Fall. There will be 50 hours of teachings and trainings in the Oral science and art, and a minimum of 50 hours self-practicing assignments or tasks of the Oral craft. The course will be delivered in the ways of the ancestors in the Oral Tradition and consist of teachings, storytelling, participation in assignments with nature out on the land, sharing, and establishing connection to ancestors through personalized herbal remedies. The program will remain in fluid motion with participants.

An Iceberg and a Blade of Grass
By now you have probably seen some news outlet post about the giant iceberg, some 2,200 sq. miles, that has just broken off of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. If you haven’t, here is an informative post on the history of it from National Geographic. Most of the 7.5 billion humans that live on Mother Earth, think Antarctica is some far away place that has no relationship to them. That can’t be farther from the truth. I’d propose, that the the ramifications of what just happened, and is accelerating, in Antarctica are as close to you as the blade of grass you see right in front of you. Our world is changing. It is changing for people, for plants, for animals, the oceans, our air. Most of these changes are happening in such a continued way small and tiny, that it almost becomes imperceptible, unnoticeable, to our daily needs, wants, and lives. It reminds me of the the boiling frog parable.
Nature, however, maintains her balance, always. There is no judgement, justification on how, or why, or the causes, she will always maintain the balance. I have been fortunate enough to have been one of the very few people of the human population to actually set foot onto the Antarctic continent. It is the harshest place and the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. It was humbling and overwhelming. I was able to bare witness to the natural process, in real-time, of balancing with the changes taking place on the planet. You can see here a small part of a photo journal gallery I took while I was there. The enormity and scale is truly indescribable. Yet, the smallest of mosses exist on the ice, there is sea life that feeds on the smallest of krill, the penguins gather, birth, and go about their lives. There are now areas on the peninsula that are ice free, the temperatures have been rising the fastest of anywhere else on the entire planet. According to some of the biologists and scientists on the expedition ship I was on, the actual number is closer to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, not the 7 or 8 that is reported. As if 7 or 8 degrees was no big deal. The mosses are now appearing on rocks, not ice. The krill populations have been decreasing causing changes in feeding column and cycles of the whales and other sea life. The penguins are moving their colonies farther and farther south, to try and get the colder climate. They have no place left to go. They are literally out of space on the Earth in order to survive.
So what does all of this have to do with the blade of grass? The bulk of a blade of grass exists out of sight, in the extensive root system below the ground. We only see a small portion of the grass plant itself. The blade is just a tiny part of the plant, but without it, the whole plant can die. What we are witnessing happening in Antarctica with the iceberg the size of a small state breaking off is only the smallest portion of what is actually happening. The waters are warming, the ice canyons are being carved out at a pace that we have no understanding of, and life is changing. As a technologist, I am fully aware that the so-called ‘climate models’ being used to report are only as good as the algorithms, and we have no idea how to write the proper algorithm because we have no reference point to use. Otherwise, the algorithms and the data coming from them are meaningless. We simply do not have the data to write an accurate model, however that is not going to stop the changes from happening, probably at a rate the exceeds any of the most liberal of models. Nature will balance as she needs.
What can each of us do? First, let each of us realize that we are related to the farthest, smallest part of the universe and the that each and every action we take will play a role in that evolution. It is all inclusive. Make wise choices and dream for the good of all (people, plants, animals, earth), not just for our own personal need at the time. It is my hope, prayers, and actions for Mother Earth that she is able to maintain the human assault and remain in balance before it is truly to late for her. Dream big folks.
Life Under Water
Our oceans are alive. It is a place that not many people get to witness or observe for extended periods of time. Regardless, there are 1000’s, ten’s of thousands, of species that thrive in an ecosystem that we know little, to nothing, about. Relatively speaking of course. The oceans cover over 70% of the planet, yet the actual percentage that has been explored from the surface to the floor is minimal. Why? Because it is hard. It is a world that we, as humans, are not setup to live in. Yet our very survival as a species depend on the functioning ecosystem of the ocean.
Energy in motion, e-motion, is based on water. Our bodies are made up of 97% water, mirroring all available water on the Mother Earth. We are emotional beings and if you have ever been dehydrated, you know how you start to feel bad and begin to deteriorate pretty quickly. To name a few reasons why our oceans are feeling bad and deteriorating includes: over fishing, plastic garbage, agricultural pollutes, acidification, warming global temperatures, human overpopulation, and pollution in general. All, individually and combined, are playing havoc on the ecosystem that keeps the oceans hydrated.
The destruction of this fragile environment is well under way, with Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the largest in the world, which is undergoing a massive bleaching event. Over 35% of the reef is now dead, which potentially means we have lost untold number of species that depend on the finest range of circumstances. It is happening, and it is happening on our watch.
Take five minutes to watch and see what a healthy ocean ecosystem looks and feels like. I took this while on a dive trip to Roatan, Honduras. The Bay Islands have made a protected marine park to keep the reef healthy and it shows. It is up to each and everyone of us to take responsibility for not letting it disappear. If it disappears, so do we.
