Spirituality, in its truest form, is connection.
It’s not about belief systems or rituals—it’s about how you live, how you listen, and how you walk through the world. In the Way of the Spirit, spirituality is practical, grounded, and alive. It flows through your relationship with the Earth, with the unseen, and with the quiet knowing inside you. It is a path of remembering: who you are, where you come from, and what you are here to serve.
Way of the Spirit
A Journey into Earth-Based Spirituality
A Return to the Spirit-Woven Path
There is a way of living so deeply rooted in the Earth, so intimately connected with Spirit, that it changes the very way you see the world—and yourself.
This is The Way of the Spirit.
The knowledge you’ll encounter in this class does not come from books or modern interpretations.
It is part of a living lineage, passed down orally and experientially for countless generations through the Lipan Apache people—wisdom carried forward by the elder known as Stalking Wolf, or Grandfather.
Grandfather walked from one end of the Americas to the other in a lifelong quest for truth. What he carried was not religion, but a complete, earth-rooted spiritual path: tested in the wild, shaped by the land, and guided by vision.
He passed these teachings on to Tom Brown Jr., who in turn became one of the foremost wilderness trackers, teachers, and spiritual mentors of our time.
For over 30 years, we—your guides—had the deep privilege of learning directly from Tom. Through him, the voice of Grandfather lives on.
Healing
Healing is not about fixing what is broken—it’s about remembering what is whole.
In the Way of the Spirit, healing begins with deep listening: to the Earth, to Spirit, and to the quiet truth within you. You’ll learn how to hold space for yourself and others, how to invite balance where there is disharmony, and how to become a vessel through which true transformation can flow. Healing, in this tradition, is not a technique—or a way of being. It is both.
Visionary
A visionary is someone who sees with the eyes of the soul.
In this tradition, vision is not about prediction—it’s about perception. You’ll learn to quiet the mind and open yourself to the guidance of Spirit, to read the signs in nature, and to receive visions that carry purpose and direction. The visionary walks between worlds, bringing back insight, clarity, and truth to serve the Earth and the people.
Ceremony
Ceremony is the language of the sacred.
It’s how we speak to the Spirit that moves through all things—and how we learn to listen in return. In this class, you’ll be guided into the art of ceremony as a living, breathing experience: simple, powerful, and deeply personal. Rooted in ancient tradition, ceremony becomes a way to anchor healing, honor transitions, and align yourself with the unseen rhythms of the Earth.
Spirituality
Step into the Ancient Stream of Spirit
Are you ready to walk a path that is older than history—yet more relevant than ever?
Way of the Spirit invites you into a living tradition of earth-based spirituality, carried through an unbroken lineage and tested over centuries by the people who lived it: the hunter-gatherers, the seers, the healers.
In this week-long immersion, you will learn to navigate the world of spirit with clarity, humility, and power—not through dogma, but through direct experience. These are not theories or borrowed practices. They are pragmatic spiritual technologies rooted in the Earth and refined through countless generations.
“Why This Matters Now”
In a world full of noise, distraction, and disconnection, the Way of the Spirit offers something rare and vital: clarity, rootedness, and truth.
This path isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. As the world changes, we are being called back to the old ways—not to escape, but to remember what it means to live with purpose and harmony. If you've felt the quiet pull of Spirit or the aching for something more real, this is your time. The Earth is calling her people home.
This Class Is for You If You Feel…
-
A deep longing to live in harmony with the unseen world
-
That spirituality should be practical, embodied, and rooted in nature
-
The pull to become a visionary, a healer, or a sacred leader
-
Or simply the yearning to remember who you truly are
TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
Mirjam
For more than 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people therapeutically.
Through this course, processes and patterns that had previously run unconsciously became much clearer to me.
I can imagine that by consciously using the tools, I’ll be able to support people even more precisely.
And as a beautiful side effect, I personally experienced the release of a long-held pain.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Norbert Sch.
The Healer course inspired me to heal and showed me how healing can happen—whether with people, animals, or plants.
Realizing and experiencing for myself that I can heal brings me closer to Creation; in fact, it's even necessary for healing to occur.
It also gives me a way to check how deeply I'm connected to Creation.
The greatest gift for me is feeling that connection to Creation.
Oneness is the Goal. The Earth is Your Guide.
When you enter the Way of the Spirit, you don’t just learn—you transform.
This is a place where miracles become normal, where nature whispers ancient truths, and where your soul finally feels at home.
You don’t have to be special to walk this path.
But once you walk it, you will never be the same.
