Source Awareness Training 

Awareness Training will prepare you for your 3 day AllOne time nature solo and also help you reintegrate upon your return.

This program will teach you how to come into a deep state of relaxation while simultaneously cultivating a profound experience of Presence. You will learn powerful and practical ways to transmute old patterns and habits. The core of these teachings are based on WoN's universal Twelve Guiding Principles of Natural Liberation: a direct path to Source Awareness that honors the essence of all the world’s great liberating traditions. 

Each morning we will begin our day practicing Qigong, which will support the release of blockages stored within your mind and body and cultivate a unified state with all that surrounds you. 

John has discovered stone meditation seats throughout this ancient vision quest valley, which he will teach you to use during your Awareness Training. Numerous individuals have accomplished profound spiritual openings with the help of these primordial shamanic sites.

AllOne Time Solo 

AllOne time gives you the opportunity to integrate the Awareness Training practices with the support of solitude in wild Nature.

You may choose a solo camp site near to our basecamp cabin or further up the wilderness canyon, depending on where you feel comfortable. Wherever you choose, the 3-day solo time is an opportunity to deepen the practices and the personal connection with wild Nature, while minimizing distractions.  In old growth forests with canyon streams, Solo sites await in the landscape where an ancient volcano erupted 27 million years ago. Share the space and the experience with trogon birds, tiny coos deer and the racoon-like coatimundi, surrounded by an incredibly unique, diverse ecosystem. 

Located in Southeast Arizona near the borders of Mexico and New Mexico, the isolated Chiricahua Mountains have played host to spiritual pilgrimage and Vision Quests for thousands of years.  Accompanied by red-tailed hawks and golden eagles soaring among peaks at eight and nine thousand feet elevations, a nature retreat here offers you a unique opportunity to explore your intrinsic spiritual connection to all of Nature, and to the ultimate Source of all Being.
