My prayer is to help people who are fully committed to learning who they are, what they are here for and how they wish to be in the world. These are the questions within the questions of our lives. We will have the time together to find full expression for our selves and our intention for our lives and how we can use prayer and connection as the guiding lights for our lives.
My prayer for the cohort we will create is that nothing will change but your whole life and the lives of those you love. In this way we will become masters of our own lives and be able to help others do the same. Discovering who and what we really are here to do is the most important and valuable thing we can do for ourselves and others. In this way we create new futures and new realities we an only imagine.
As a healer, counselor, holistic practitioner, and/or medicine carrier, you have a unique purpose and calling in this life. We call this: “Serving your unique medicine”.
In this program, we will support you in navigating the world as a medicine person. It will help you tap into your unique gifts to be of service to your medicine, while offering the wisdom and knowledge of Medicine Leadership as a foundational part of your mission.
We will dive deep into the prayer of your life, greatest happiness, and deepest success.
You will learn to understand what you're here for and bring your whole self to it… to learn how to stop being hard on yourself and learn how to celebrate your unique gifts in the world.
And to show up with great presence, leadership, wisdom, love, and medicine integrated into every aspect of your life, no matter what you do.

Optional Medicine Leadership Business Bootcamp: Learn to turn your certification into a thriving spiritual offering
While plant medicine is a core part of medicine leadership, this program is designed for individuals seeking to serve the medicine in many ways that go beyond serving plant medicine. We are not fixated on “how to serve plant medicine” in this training… We are more focused on supporting you with the unique gifts that you want to be serving in your career and life, while infusing the wisdom of Medicine Leadership into this sacred work. Whether you are interested in starting a spiritual church or community, holding plant medicine ceremonies or other forms of ceremonies, starting (or growing) a coaching or counseling business, offering sound healing, providing intuitive teachings and readings, or any other form of spiritual service, this certification will support you in growing on the path as a Medicine Leader. If you decide that you would like to serve plant medicine, the final step will be to get approval from Oklevueha Native American Church (ONAC), which we can provide support to you in this process.
Yes, upon successful completion of the program and meeting the requirements, you will receive a Medicine Leadership Certification from George and Zev.
Yes, the program is designed to empower you to integrate medicine wisdom into various aspects of your life, including your unique professional practice.

“George has been leading Medicine Ceremonies for many years, decades I believe. When he shared with the community that he was organizing a Leadership Course my ears perked up, my eyes brightened and my mind focused considering what kind of opportunity that this would mean for me. Being somewhat of a ‘lone wolf’, a bit by choice, but mostly by the requirements of my career, I find myself always having that background sensation of having affection for being part of a meaningful community. Having George Grey Eagle Bertelstein as the Elder brings to it another kind of walk. George having spent years with Traditional Elders heartfully sharing with him the underlying perspectives that make clear the ‘magic in the medicine’ sort of speak, the ‘how, why & Suchness’ of the form and action of the medicine teachings is a very rare grace to be shared on this Earth. Life is fast, busy, reduced and extracted, it is, whatever you want to call this modern age. But these Circles, these ‘Suchness’ are from another time, from every single human beings’ roots. And like our favorite shoe or favorite pair of jeans, their subtle ‘fit’ makes them less noticeable compared with the 10,000 louder ‘things’ that clamor for our attention on the daily. And these awareness’ are being far less attended to and forgotten nowadays….. Having an opportunity to sit in Circle with Maestro George as a person, and also as one who has led this Path for decades, is a rare opportunity to attune ones ‘ears' & 'eyes’ to these Ways and subtleties coming from walking on the Traditional Medicine Path.”
Shane“The Medicine Leadership Course is a game-changer. The combination of the group, the wisdom of George and the medicine are so helpful. It brought me closer to myself, gained a group of brothers and reminded me of the prayer for my life. Highly recommended!”
Robert“When Zev told me about his Medicine Leadership Course I was really excited because I've been looking for something just like it. Zev and George led us every week with great discussion topics to help us open up and work through difficult things. Because of this the men in the course become brothers and will always have a close relationship. If you are looking to join a group of men on a spiritual path then this is the right course for you.”
Paul“Being part of this course was instrumental to deepen my leadership and joy in my journey. It helped me to further integrate my existing practices through simple and powerful teachings, and also through learning from the experience and prayers of others. The impact and relationships have continued being nourished long after the course finished, and I am forever grateful for it. I strongly recommend this course to those who are ready to make a fundamental change in their lives with a supportive community.”
Kamran“Can't recommend this program enough if you want a happier, lighter, and more forward-moving life for yourself, and your loved ones. ”
Kamran“The medicine leadership group experience was profound. I expected this would be strong group to work with and found that this community was able to support me to deepen my relationship to prayer, and to simplify my approach to life. There was not one word spoken in our group that I did not resonate with. The value of recognizing the similarities in our journeys cannot be overstated. Our meetings were expertly guided by the wisdom, intelligence, and love of George and Zev for which they will always have my gratitude.”
