Grows to the Sky

'I first came across these teachings in the 1990s in England. I was studying as a psychotherapist and was hugely impacted by the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path and the tools it offers to heal and change. Shortly after this introduction, I entered my first purification lodge. I did not understand what was happening in that magickal space, but I knew it had changed the course of my life.

Fast forward 15 years, I came to Phoenix to study with the Deer Tribe. Three years later I immigrated, to continue the journey, and be with Matthias. I was following a dream to become a teacher and run a Lodge – leaving the details of how to make it happen in the hands of the Great Spirit. I became a psychotherapist, qualified teacher and group facilitator along the way – training that has been very useful!

These teachings and ceremonies continuously reveal layers of myself and the world. I have learned to appreciate the magick of stepping into the unknown, whether it is for my own development or, as a teacher. Thank you to everyone who walks this journey with me, here in Boulder, and around the world.'

Dancing Bear

A student on the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path for 16 years, Matthias is often found heating rocks outside the Purification Lodge or creating beautiful tools for ceremony. He balances being of service to the Lodge with a busy management career in high tech engineering.

'I use the teachings as a toolbox for life’s challenges; to understand myself better, change unhealthy patterns, motivate and manage employees, and as a useful common language in my marriage. It gives me pleasure to be of service, share this land and witness the impact on people who come to the Lodge.'
