Medicine Leadership

“The Medicine Leadership Course is a game-changer. It was so helpful for me to sit with a group of men – all ages and different points in their lives – that are committed to being better men. 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!”

“When Zev told me about his Men's Medicine 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.”

“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 my fellow men. 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.”

“George has been leading Medicine Ceremonies for many years, decades I believe. When he shared with the community that he was organizing a Men’s 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. As part of the Mankind Project I do get the opportunity to come into circle with men of excellent character, no doubt. But this is a different opportunity, 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.”

“My time in the Men’s Medicine Circle yielded noticeable results. I felt a new kind of safety sharing my vulnerabilities and fears with other men showing up for themselves. I went deeper into areas I’m healing than I would have felt comfortable sharing in front of Women. I have also noticed that I have approached recent challenges in my life differently than I have in the past. I have become more heartfelt, less defensive and acutely aware that there are a lot of Men carrying a lot of pain that have not found good ways yet, to process and move forward. That’s what happened for me. I felt some big stings, I also felt the love, and experienced profound changes while exploring my emotions in a safe container. I know doing this work for myself has softened and opened me up. It’s prepared me to show up in better ways to the challenges and opportunities we face everyday as Men”

“There is nothing like a group of powerful and heart-centered men each with their own prayer, joining a bigger collective prayer. I am grateful to be part of multiple iterations of this program, having the opportunity to learn from some of the most amazing men, and getting clear on and help for my own prayers. Can't recommend this program enough if you want a happier, lighter, and more forward-moving life for yourself, and your loved ones. ”

“The men's medicine leadership group experience was profound. I expected this would be strong group to work with and found that this community of brothers 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 particularly as men 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.”
