PROGRAM GUIDES:

Sarah LightWeaver

My education background in psychology and personal interest in healing through a path of art and creativity are evident in my work as an art therapist (LMFT, ATR-BC). Participating in both art therapy training and my Red-lodge training (Art of Peace) concurrently, illuminated how much more powerful and expansive my learning experiences were in the Art of Peace versus in my therapy training. I am acutely aware of much more transformational and flexible these wisdom bundle’s tools have been for my inner balance through time. In 2015, I participated in a third year of training and was sanctioned as a Council Guide to be able to teach many of these tools. Since that time life has gifted me with many opportunities to assist or lead a variety of ceremonies.

I also completed more advanced training with Keeper, WhiteEagle Woman (Black Lodge completed 2021). I have been sanctioned by WhiteEagle Woman to be able to guide Relationship Councils, a powerful tool for creating new agreements in relationships.

Bob EagleHeart – My journey has led to awareness and healing of the stories I’ve carried that separate me from the world and others. Striving to give back and live in balance, I am excited to support growth, authenticity and deeper relationships with Life.

Sanctioned in 2023 as a Council Guide (CGT Switzerland)

PROGRAM ASSISTANTS:

Raven – I am passionate about the outdoors and helping people connect with their own internal compass while navigating the splendor of the natural elements. I have extensive outdoor experience personally, as a volunteer, and as a paid guide for outdoor adventure travel companies. I am certified as an Outdoor Emergency Care Technician, having spent 22 + years as a volunteer member of the National Ski Patrol. I am a trained yoga instructor. I am passionate about service work and volunteer as a Girl Scout Leader. My career path in Social Services allowed me to develop group leadership skills and help individuals realize their potential. As a trained Council Guide in the tradition of the Delicate Lodge Earth-wisdom bundle, I am sanctioned to guide individuals and groups in the Way of the Council and many other useful tools for self-exploration.

Marlieke Singa – I have enjoyed working in healthcare as a pediatrician in emergency care over the past 24 years.  Prior to medical school I trained and worked as a massage therapist.  I have a particular interest in mind-body-spirit medicine and am always seeking out opportunities for learning and growth.  Most recently I completed Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Life Coach training and have participated in additional professional training through the Center for Mind Body Medicine among others.

I was first introduced to the Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge when I attended a family camp at Potter’s Farm some 14 years ago with my then 7-year-old son.  My goal of sharing my love of nature with him ultimately led to me deeply rediscovering my own.  In this wisdom bundle and community I found an unexpected spiritual home that felt more like a remembering than a discovery.  I went on to train and become sanctioned as a Council Guide in 2016.  I am excited to continue to deepen my own understanding while supporting others in growth and learning in this next training cycle!

Lauranne BearEagle Stands Tall – Cooking, singing, and drumming are three things I’m most excited to share with you during your journey. I’ve spent more than 20 years training in the Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge, both as receiver and giver. I’ve guided trainings similar to the one you are considering, and am a sanctioned Delicate Lodge Dreaming Chief, Rainbow Lodge Keeper, and Relationship Council Guide. I’m also a Certified Master Dream Teacher through shamanic teacher Robert Moss (mossdreams.com). I live these teachings from the heart in Madison, WI with my husband Merle, parrot Javi, and goldendoodle Teak.


About The Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge

The Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge, a bundle of pre-Mayan earth wisdom tools, has passed from Keeper to Keeper over centuries. It is based on the Sacred Twenty Count, a glyph of all the universal energies that make up wholeness. This wisdom knowledge offers humans a pathway for cultivating inner peace, and for living in respect, balance, and harmony with All Our Relations (all of life). The Bundle is opened to all who come in respect; it is not tribal specific and is available to all who feel called.
