What is the Sacred Path Program?

The Sacred Path Program is a transformative journey crafted to cultivate a new generation of self-aware and responsible leaders. Through this program, participants gain insight into their true origins, understand their purpose on Earth, and discover the talents they possess and the Sacred Path they need to take, to fulfill their potential and earthly mission.

Discovering your path

Here at Four Winds Wellness, we acknowledge that each person arrives on Earth with a distinct mission and inherent talents meant to guide them along their path. We walk alongside our youth, offering them the necessary tools and support to uncover their purpose, understand their unique gifts, and navigate inter-generational hurdles as they embark on their Sacred Path.

The Sacred Path represents the internal exploration these individuals undertake to delve into their inner landscapes, effect lasting change, and actualize their full potential in the external world. Through this journey, they learn awareness and responsibility, develop strategies to overcome fears and life challenges, and strive to live in harmony with a higher purpose. It’s about rediscovering their innate originality or true nature that they brought with them to Earth.

This journey isn’t a fixed destination; rather, it’s an ongoing process of self-improvement and self-realization.

The Art of Story Telling

The art of storytelling through oral, scribed or written language and symbols, has been around since time began.  Many traditional cultures drew on this medium as a powerful teaching tool that could paint a visual narrative through a tale shared.  The real art of the truly gifted story tellers, elders, and wizened ones, was to tell a story as a relatable analogy or parable, that inspired the listener or reader to dig deep and reflect on the underlying messages being shared, and draw their own conclusions.

The birth of a Children's Book series

Book 1: Creating the Great Everythingness

The old story telling ways provide an effective teaching approach, in allowing individuals to exercise their freedom of choice and expression, and yet another way that each child can discover their own path and origins. Often these stories would draw on the wisdom of not only two legged relatives, but the four legged, little critters, winged one and plant nations – all the living and breathing things that the Great Spirit placed upon the earth to teach us. 

It was through these timeless storytelling traditions that the concept of “The Messenger”, and a series of children’s books, came about.  “The Messenger” is a traditional storyteller, dedicated to preserving and sharing the ancient wisdom and traditions of Native American cultures. Born into the Lakota tribe, he grew up immersed in the rich tapestry of his people’s oral traditions, rituals, and spiritual practices.

Creating The Great Everythingness is a captivating children’s story where a grandfather (The Messenger) shares a traditional Native American creation concept in a universal way, with his grandson, Takoja. 

This is the first in a series of many children’s stories crafted to accompany the younger generation throughout their life’s journey, to aid with developing the essence of who they truly are, and what they came here to do. 

Traditional Arts

Too often we pass through life barely scratching the surface of our creative potential. At Four Winds Wellness, we see art as a powerful and enjoyable medium to enable youth from all walks of life, to uncover their raw talents and reshape their narrative from an alternative perspective.

Rewriting our story through art

Everything including ourselves, has a story connected to it.  At Four Winds Wellness, we see art as a gateway to healing.  As we create art pieces in different mediums, we begin to tune into the spirit and inspiration, and our peel back the layers to discover the talents we came with.  

This creative process provides us with a medium to explore our own stories and a means to change the narrative.  It also teaches us about the creation process and how we invoke this within our world.  Through this understanding, we can learn to “re-craft” or “re-create” a different reality, that allows us to live to our fullest potential.

At Four Winds Wellness, we create traditional art works such as the Unity sculpture to share a message, or tailor traditional art programs to fit the needs of the community or educational setting that we are invited into.  Reach out to us to discuss how we can support you in providing art as a medium to help youth in reimagining their reality.

Revitalizing communities

We aspire to rejuvenate communities by nurturing the next generation while honoring the wisdom of our elders. Through our charitable arm, we’re dedicated to investing in youth, providing them with equal opportunities for self-discovery and skill development, all while engaging them in community revitalization projects. By fostering intergenerational connections and sustainable initiatives, we aim to create inclusive communities where everyone can thrive.

Imagine a vibrant community where harmony reigns and poverty is non-existent – a place where every individual embraces their stewardship, supported in fulfilling their role to the best of their ability. In this vision, each member contributes their unique talents and skills, diligently meeting the needs of their families and generously sharing any surplus with the community at large. This echoes the ancient practice of common ownership, fostering a sense of common-unity.

To bring this into reality, let us journey back in time to integrate these traditional principles into our modern way of life. Through this integration, we aim to instill in our youth strong core values and resilience, teaching them how to responsibly care for their families and communities in a sustainable manner. By uncovering their innate talents and actively contributing to the betterment of their communities, individuals will not only enrich their own lives but also strengthen the fabric of neighboring communities.

Furthermore, reconnecting with the wisdom of the ancients, who hold invaluable knowledge from times of old, is essential in this revitalization process. By bridging the gap between generations, we can tap into ancient wisdom and infuse it into our modern endeavors, revitalizing communities one person and one soul at a time. Through this holistic approach, we can create thriving communities where each individual thrives, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and collective well-being.
