Arrows & Rebar

Raising the Bar & Stepping into Power

In this powerful ceremony, the body is taught a new way to move out of automatic fear response and into action; the mind learns to let go of perceived limitation; and the spirit stands in the victory of what is now possible. Calling on energy giving acupuncture points this ceremony profoundly energizes your vision and goals to create forward movement. Utilizing an outer obstacle as a symbol for the inner obstacles, you are given tools for true and embodied transformation. You will be shown how to access your storehouse of personal power and energy, how to generate this power and channel it to move through limitation, transforming the previous limitation into a tangible success.

In times of fear and trauma the body's natural response is often fight, flight, or freeze. For those who have accumulated fear and trauma in the body, a sense of being "stuck" or paralyzed may become the automatic response to decision making, stress and fear. This exercise powerfully reeducates the body and provides another option...forward movement with conscious intention. Harnessing the energy of fear and utilizing it's power to move forward into something that is desired is a truly transformational process.

Breaking Arrows: In this ceremony, we are offered an opportunity to step into power and choose forward movement. With the support of the group community, we break through emotional barriers, limitations and worn out beliefs. We learn what is truly possible and step into life affirming beliefs and visions.

Bending Rebar: By placing a 6 foot length of steel reinforcement bar (rebar) between two people, at a place on the body normally thought of as extremely vulnerable, we will harness the fear and create power. (Rebar is generally used as a concrete reinforcement for buildings, it is a strong and solid bar of steel) As the group supports, the warriors come together and bend the rebar. Truly an astonishing and empowering feat to both witness and achieve!

Imagine availing your group of the gift of empowerment? Consider including these profound ceremonies at your Motivational team building outing, teen rite of passage; or family reunion.

"Never will I forget the way I felt after bending the rebar. I have new trust in my inner power. I keep the rebar hanging on my wall as a reminder of my ability to choose forward movement."

"Our whole group definitely feels like family now. We see each other as people with hearts and can remember each other's stories from that amazing night with you. Thank you so much. You made work a place I want to be! Never thought I would say that!"
