Council Guide Training - at Star Dance, New Mexico

"Council Guide Training is the most comprehensive self-leadership program I know of (I am a graduate of four and aware of many others!). Between the work we did connecting ourselves with, and honoring, All of Life, and the claiming of ourselves as wide-awake Sacred Humans, and the restructuring work we did to grow ourselves in self-authority, I can not imagine a more important and timely experience for myself and for the healing of the Great Hoop."

"CGT was an amazing experience for me. I had been looking for a teacher who could guide me in the next steps of my journey and I found that teacher in WhiteEagle. She and the Grandparents are shining examples of how to fully live in the wisdom of the teachings, no matter what circumstance may present itself. I understand now how each of us reflects the beauty and light of one another and how there is no separation between us. My understanding of how to walk in the world shifted dramatically with these teachings. There is an infinite amount of beauty all around and in each one of us."

"I was deeply frustrated with not knowing the depth and range and potential of myself. I knew intuitively that I had more to offer than I was able to show at key moments. I was getting caught up with inner feelings of fear and inadequacy that I knew were not my true self—but somehow they had a hold on my life at critical moments that I could not shake off.
The Teachers of the Delicate Lodge opened up an entirely new range and scope for compassionate and sharp insight into my baffling inner complexity. I can remember so clearly the excitement I felt when they unfolded the beautiful design of the wheel and its energies, and I could begin to experience myself from all these different perspectives, and begin to understand what was going on—with me and in my relations with others. This was so much more comprehensive and deeper in scope and learning than all the human resource consulting tools with which I was in contact.
CGT enabled the most precious and deepest changes in my knowledge, understanding and leadership of myself—of the many facets of myself, I should say, as I learn how to live the beautiful destiny that nature—our universe—holds out for every being."

"CGT was a powerful training for me...I had no agenda or clear understanding as to what I was getting myself into, I just trusted it was a good next step along the path for me.
The training was so honoring. We were in an extraordinarily beautiful place. We were given responsibilities to help care and serve as guardians for the land and our time together. In so doing, we learned the powerful role of serving life in all we do. Everything we were taught was developed experientially. The teachings were shared incrementally, with each element building upon the next in a rich sequence that provided each of us a strong foundation within from which we could grow with each new addition. All were treated with great respect.
We learned a wealth of information about the basic teachings of this lineage. More than the content, I learned a way of being with myself and others that is nourishing and supports and sustains wholeness in a good way. Through these teachings, I learned the foundational elements from which all life can be fostered. The teachings around self-care in particular have been life-changing for me.
Sometimes, it has been that I don't know what has really happened in an experience until time has passed or I have a point of contrast by which I can measure the changes. As part of this training, we were taught to integrate self-measure as a pathway for true self-growth. This has been invaluable to me and my practices of self discipline have grown immensely as a result.
I went on to attend the Black Lodge Training after my CGT and my husband attended CGT. It has been deeply enriching for us to have this common ground in support of lives together. I can honestly say that I can meet life with more presence, self confidence and overall trust as a result of my journey with these teachings."
