Core Content
The core guidebook for this training camp is Angeles Arrien’s book The Four Fold Way. Angeles was a cultural anthropologist whose personal culture ancestry was Basque, out of Spain. This book was first published in 1993, 30 years ago. Angeles left the material plane in 2014. She was a sweet grandmother type, a wonderful storyteller and storycarrier, and helper to many. She had a playful air of authoritas and gravitas.
The Four Fold Way is her distillation of what she found in her research about the primary sensibilities of nature-based people when it comes to knowing and operating with natural intelligence. The teaches through the lens of four inherent resources for the human animal: power, vision, love and wisdom. The book includes context, practice and questions for our personal excavation and adaptation.
Over 15 years of study and practice, Patti Lindgren has augmented the base work of Angeles with a collection of maps to relay the expansion of the personal experience into several nature and village-based configurations designed to aid in the practical expression of our natural intelligence in all spheres of our lives.
The community of fellow travelers with you and your engagement with them will provide the remainder of the value and should serve to activate your new trajectory feeling appreciated, supported and loved.
You can read about The Four Fold Way, hear a little of my own story and find links to videos of Angeles in action while she was still here in the plane in my blog.
