Life as Ceremony: AoC Collaborators

By Rachel Harris

One of the core practices of the Art of Convening is to gather groups of people, intentionally, in conversation. Dear friends and people of inspiration, Pele Rouge and Firehawk, practice an age-old tradition passed down from native ancestral teachers called Stringing the Beads. They share with us an expression of this practice in Life as Ceremony.

We gathered around the Spring Renewal Ceremony campfire to engage in the "Heart of Leadership" with our dear and wise friends, Pele Rouge and FireHawk, guides and teachers of the Medicine Way. In the past, they partnered with CPL to convene the Bay Area Thought Leader Gathering. They have shared the Earth Wisdom teachings in many ways and have brought the power of beauty and the practice of "stringing the beads" or hearing all the voices to each gathering.

They speak of leadership as stepping forward in energy and share their Vision here:

Vision
The people gather
in a Sacred Way
Listening deeply
Wisdom emerges
Courageous action ensues
Healing happens
Awakening occurs

Much appreciation for Pele Rouge and Firehawk bringing forth life as ceremony, here and in the Bay Area, and for sharing the art of gathering people in authentic voice.
