TEACHER TRAINING
What’s your Vision? What’s your gift to the world? Teacher Training embraces the Teacher or Sage within and empowers one to manifest their Vision in the world. Teacher Training consists of nine journeys that progressively leads one deeper into the Wilderness and deeper into one’s self, and along with the practice, leads one into the fullness of Serpent Power. The Frog, the Heart, and the Eagle from my Wilderness story: The Mysterious Female, not only led me out of the Wilderness; they are a road map to embodying Serpent Power.
