The Braided Pathways Online Course

A 12 month online Weaving of the Inner Landscape, Earth, and Sky with Humanity’s Threads of Wisdom.

Based on the way finding practiced at Wanosh Forest Gardens and Healing Grounds, The Braided Pathways unfolds as a continuous 12‑month initiatory integration container. Participants enter the journey through seasonal gateways aligned with the solstices and equinoxes, allowing new people to step in while preserving the coherence, depth, and relational integrity of the learning field.

This course shares guiding pathways for integration in to a life based on seasonal movement. It is designed for people who feel a call to transform grief and excitement they are carrying into bringing something meaningful into the world, whether they are already devoted a project or are still sensing and clarifying the gift they wish to offer. The curriculum is structured around four interrelated braids that weave into one into a coherent guiding path. The core Braided Pathways are:

1. the internal landscape,

2. ecological intelligence,

3. celestial orientation,

4. traditional wisdom practices

The core of the Braided Pathways function as an orienting framework. Participants learn to listen to what is already alive within them, learn techniques to focus thier energy, and set pace by attuning to seasonal rhythms. Some arrive refining an existing offering; others arrive to distill and bring forth what has not yet fully taken form.

An optional layer of live integration calls and mentorship are available for those who wish to engage the work within a more relational container, offering space for integration, accountability, and shared witnessing.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

• people who feel ready to distill their life force energy with the seasonal, non linear time as a core guiding system.

• People who want to develop their unique gifts toward stewardship, service.

• People experiencing burnout, fragmentation, or overwhelm from the mainstream narrative.

• People looking for integration support for peak experiences and to bring more context to their medicine path.

• People who value continuity and depth and are looking for guidance that unfolds over time, rather than quick fixes or isolated experiences.

• People who feel drawn to creating, tending, teaching, guiding, or building meaningful work in the world and are struggling to organize and pace in a way that moves outside of industrialized time and attune to larger patterns and seasonal cycles.

• People at a personal, professional, or spiritual crossroads who are ready to integrate seasonal and celestial time keeping into their way of meeting the world.

No prior experience, clear projects, or polished visions are necessary.
Curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to engage in relationship with yourself, with land, the stars, and with others doing the same is critical.

WHAT THIS IS:

Based on our own explorative practices at Wanosh Forest Gardens and Healing Grounds this is a 12-month guided curriculum designed to support people in reorienting how they live, work, relate, and bring their unique gifts to the world. This is an integration container to support recalibrating one’s lifestyle and offerings to their own heart, place they live, celestial cycles, and wisdom traditions of the ages. It is:

• A structured container that blends teaching, reflection, practice, and application.

• A long-form learning environment designed for continuity, integration, community building, and depth that unfolds month by month.

• An offering of insight into the way finding practiced at Wanosh Forest Gardens and Healing Grounds.

This is not a certification program, a productivity system, or a collection of disconnected lessons.

The journey is entered through seasonal gateways aligned with the solstices and equinoxes, creating natural moments for orientation, initiation, and integration. Although the course has the most continuity and participant gain entered through winter solstice or spring equinox, each portal has its own rhythm of planting and harvesting its fruit.

Over the course of a full year, participants are supported to:

• Locate themselves more clearly by seasonal and celestial time and the place they live (particularly the non-human environment).

• Develop embodied practices that bridge inner listening with outer action.

• Learn through seasonal, cyclical teachings aligned with ecological and celestial rhythms.

• Integrate insight from wisdom traditions into daily life, so learning becomes lived rather than theoretical.

WHY NOW ?

Many people can feel it: the current paradigm is becoming outdated… the ways of living, working, and learning are no longer sufficient. Politics, economy, and the environment are all in collapse. Chaos, distractions and noise have become the norm. As Einstein once said, We can not solve a problem with the thinking that created the problem in the first place.

We are living in a time marked by ecological instability, cultural fragmentation, and nervous-system overload. Information is abundant, yet orientation is scarce. People are inspired often, but supported rarely. Community is desired, but seldom structured to last. We miss the village we never knew, but our ancestors knew so well.

This curriculum exists because:

• There is a growing need for people who are grounded, resourced, and relational.

• The skills of tending self, tending land, and tending community are becoming more and more essential.

• Many people are seeking learning that is slow, cyclical, and place-aware rather than extractive or accelerated.

• There is a growing need for re-contextualizing life in relation to non industrial, linear production models

• Plant medicines are creating peak experiences and deep insight with out integrational support systems.

• Now is a time that calls for community building.

This yearlong journey offers a way to step out of fragmentation and into rhythm to cultivate depth over time, to practice living in relationship, and to allow clarity to emerge through sustained engagement rather than urgency.
