May 13, 14 & 15 – Twin Eagles Seasonal Teen Rendezvous – Teen Overnight Weekend Program

Standing on the shoulders of our first year of Seasonal Teen Rendezvous, this year is set to offer awesome experiences to teens throughout the Inland Northwest and beyond to sink deep roots to the earth through wilderness skills while soaring high through full-on group adventures. Teens learn leadership by working together as well as applying their sensitivities through ancient earth based skills and crafts. Twin Eagles nature based mentors will guide teens through these experiences and more, developing significant creative problem solving skills while they revel in being fully alive.

This will be an awesome opportunity for teens to encounter the wild around them as we journey to destinations throughout the Inland Northwest. As well, teens have a chance to touch their own inner wildness by giving unique voice to their inner selves amongst a community of peers and mentors. This will all take place within the powerful and safe context of a “cultural basket” of teachings that will provide grounding and balance while peaking their senses and learning. Thus, we echo the blueprint of natural learning shared by our ancestors through millennia. For teens ages 13 & up.

June 3, 4 & 5 – Earth Based Cultural Restoration – A weekend workshop with Tony Ten Fingers

Twin Eagles is proud to host Tony Ten Fingers in his first return to the nature connection mentoring movement in five years. Earth-Based Cultural Restoration is an expansive exploration of the repair needed in our modern communities and culture in order to restore full health, vibrancy and resilience. We’ll take a journey of discovery to touch the wisdom that the first cultures of this place have have to offer our modern world, and how one of the central purposes of culture is to actualize human beings.

Perfect for educators, naturalists, community designers, mental health professionals and anyone interested in taking responsibility for our culture, this weekend will include: Creating safety and sacredness, restoring bonds of kinship, and transforming our perception to experience “Mitakuye Oyasin – We Are All Related.” More needed now than ever before, this potent experience is sure to have a lasting impact on our communities, families and selves.

Tony Ten Fingers is an Oglala Lakota and was raised in the traditional ways of his people. He is currently working on faculty at the Oglala Lakota College on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, and is also a PhD candidate at the University of the Rockies. Tony has been essential in the founding of many wilderness schools and nature connection organizations and presented workshops across the country. Tony is a cultural ambassador who brings the wisdom of the Lakota people to all those he touches, in the form of the original teachings the Lakota were given. Gifted with the skill to blend traditional Native American ways with an understanding of the modern world, Tony is an accomplished educator and storyteller. A “master teacher of teachers,” indeed, he has much to offer.
