On the morning of the Winter Solstice, sunrise aligns exactly with Newgrange, a prehistoric monument in Ireland overlooking the River Boyne.  Newgrange is a stunning example of a passage tomb built during the Neolithic Period, around 3200 BCE, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyption pyramids.  But how? 

Newgrange's construction, without the most basic of modern tools, must have require deep cooperation among individuals. How was such a monument built, in this time-intensive and humanpower-intensive way, at a time when basic survival needs were so immediately pressing?  How was the community activated to work together to build Newgrange?

That's Exactly The Aim We Seek To Explore Today...Activating Community Life.

The idea of Wisdom Council was seeded in a South Dakota tipi.  As our group sat in circle, we discussed issues in our camp.  We made decisions about what we would do that day.  Who was going to get wood.  Who was going to build the fires for sweatlodge.  As I looked around the circle, I realized this is how it had been done by aboriginal people for centuries. 

Sitting in circle.  No lead.  Each person contributing their unique talent to help the tribe do more than just survive.  They thrived!

In that moment, I knew I had to bring that tradition into our contemporary way of being. 

Wisdom Council was born.
