Advanced Training for Apprentices
The Flowering Tree Lodge offers two advanced training programs for apprentices who have completed Red Lodge and most of the 3rd Gateway: Three Arrows and Bravo White Lodge.
These two longhouse programs are offered in alternate years and work synergistically to support your movement through the 4th Gateway. Both programs open for new students each January.
Three Arrows curriculum includes 4 weekends (from Friday evening thru Sunday at 5pm), and participation in Ceremonial Week, held concurrently with Red Lodge. Each weekend focuses on 3 arrows of self-development:
- Expertise in the Healing paradigm,
- Medicine skills, and
- Leadership training
Ceremonial Week provides an opportunity to finish any final 3rd Gateway ceremonies and learn monitoring techniques. Three Arrows is also a program for pursuing Dance Chief training. Qualified students may enroll for the entire curriculum or participate in one or more weekends.
Bravo White Lodge focuses on 4th Gateway teachings and ceremonies. Each year consists of 4 long weekends which extend from Thursday evening at 7pm through Sunday at 5pm. The curriculum focuses on:
- Experiential application of advanced wheels and keys,
- Work within the healing paradigm, and
- Physical mastery training
