Our response to the pandemic

Dear Humans,

As you know life has changed and we are all adapting to it the best we can. Fortunately, that’s what we humans do best. I take both the virus and the complex impact that comes with it very seriously and am considering it from immediate and long-term perspectives for our school, our community and our planet. Please see the important announcements and changes below.

For those of you that are part of our tribe and have trained with us, I hope you are finding your skills useful in caring for your needs and those around you. I have personally noticed how seamlessly the game of training has transferred to the reality of our situation and have found it useful in many ways already.

I don’t recall anything in recent years that has penetrated our illusion of separation and revealed our deep interdependence like this event has. It is becoming clear that this challenge is the beginning of a multidimensional change that will continue to ripple through our world and our lives in many ways- personally, socially, economically, environmentally, politically and on and on. This also brings me a sense of hope.

As difficult as it can be to accept and adapt to what is happening, I look forward to the great healing that is in process and I believe there are some lessons and gifts in this wake-up call. I hope we can have the intelligence to discover them and the wisdom to learn from and integrate them. May this transition give you the time to slow down and focus on what is important to you while finding real and true connection with yourself, your loved ones and your life. May you even enjoy this transition time as an opportunity to recover, do some projects you have been putting off, get out in the wilderness and transform your connections with our tribe, the earth and life itself.

I am committed to continue offering training in the primal life supporting skills, training and philosophy of the everyday hero while maintaining and encouraging isolation and strict boundaries for safe social distancing for as long as necessary- and this may mean months. During this time I will be focusing even more on sharing the skills of the everyday hero that are most helpful in our current circumstances. I am also using this challenge to really push our online course development so there will be training opportunities on-line for classes as well as coaching by phone, Face-time, Zoom or your favorite app.

Sunday Gatherings will be canceled, however a fire will be held at the earth vigil fire each month during the gathering period to keep our sacred fire and commitments going.

Coaching

I will be making training as affordable and available as possible as we are all adjusting. At the same time, I have to keep the business alive and invite you to participate at whatever level you are able until we are able to meet in person again. I hope you get well adjusted to these temporary changes and are able to join us and help keep our vision alive at Tribal Edge- what better time than now. Please remember you matter, and this does not exists without you and if you are in need or overwhelmed, reach out to your tribe for help. Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you online and as soon as possible in the flesh.

We’ve got this together. Keep going!
