Join us for this Sacred Passage retreat which includes our unique and comprehensive WoN Process
Source Awareness Training
Awareness Training will prepare you for your 7 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 and Gaia Flow, which will support the release of blockages stored within your mind and body and bring you into a unified state with all that surrounds you.
AllOne Time Solo
AllOne time gives you the opportunity to integrate the Awareness Training practices with the support of solitude in wild Nature.
Towering above our solo camps are five 14,000-foot summits that watch over you with majestic grace. Lovely groves of large ponderosas, aspen and cottonwood line the mountain streams, with neighboring forests of juniper and pinyon pine. You will share the land with mule deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, pronghorn antelope and beautiful black fox squirrels. Bird life abounds and Eagles circle above. A large, beautiful stream flows for more than a mile across our private, protected land where we do Sacred Passage. The stream flows crystal clear and provides superb, revitalizing drinking water for all of us.
Native peoples trace back their vision quests and sacred ceremonies here for over 15,000 years. In the late 1970's, WoN founder John P. Milton moved to Crestone and was the initial discoverer of an estimated 2,000 ancient stone meditation seats scattered among the Sacred Land Sanctuary. These special sites continue to be used for vision questing, ceremony and prayer. Those who journey here feel the powerful joy and opening of Spirit that these cherished surroundings offer.
When you do Sacred Passage, you join those who have entered the Sacred Way on this land over many thousands of years... you become part of that great lineage of the Land!
