SUMMARY:Continuous Education Prep - Traditional Medicine Paths
DESCRIPTION:Curriculum design & planning\nBridging the vast and often forgotten ancestral wisdom of indigenous traditions with the Western modern world is a monumental task in itself. Yet Don David Wiley has taken on this sacred mission\, facing countless ongoing challenges to design and deliver programs that are not only tangible and replicable\, but that carry the weight and authenticity of true spiritual teachings.\nWhat makes this even more profound is the care with which Don David ensures that what is shared is exactly what needs to be shared—stripped of anything superfluous or misleading\, and offered with clear intention. He has had to navigate the assumptions and filters of contemporary\, educated minds\, which often believe they already understand how life works. In contrast\, Don David invites students to unlearn\, to return to a deeper way of knowing rooted in direct relationship with Divine\, nature\, and the sacred. \nMuch of this knowledge was originally passed down through oral tradition—shared from one generation to the next\, in sacred trust. Don David has found powerful ways to bring these teachings into the modern world without compromising their essence. Surfing between realms\, he draws what is needed from the intangible into the tangible—bridging spirit and form with clarity and purpose. \nAfter his intense training\, apprenticeship\, and initiations with living teachers in both the Nahua and Wixárika traditions\, Don David has now successfully trained the first generations of Western shamanic healers: Tepahtiani & Mara’akate. These pioneers have taken their place in the living web of healing and service. \nToday\, Don David is supported by a devoted team in both traditions—people who are helping him structure what can now be recognized as a curriculum of spiritual training. These teachings span different levels of commitment and engagement\, guiding those whose souls are being called back to the basics: to ancestral knowledge\, lived wisdom\, and real practices that can restore balance\, not only within individuals\, but across communities\, lands\, and generations. \nWe offer our deepest gratitude to Don David’s teaching assistants\, who provide him with invaluable support and help carry this great work forward. A heartfelt shout-out to each of you—for the unseen and sacred service you embody. \n

SUMMARY:Tsantawu Ritual
DESCRIPTION:A specialized\, closed program offered by the Tsantawu Council.\nSACRED STONE MOUNTAIN SPRING or FALL CEREMONIES\nCeremony connects us to the rhythms of the world and the power of the seasons. This sacred rite helps restore balance with the great forces of weather in the Stone Mountain region. It was given so that we may express respect\, gratitude\, and humility in the way our ancestors did—so that we may make a difference for the animals\, the plants\, and our human brothers and sisters in these precarious times. \nThe Weather Ceremony is both beautiful and profound. Serving on the support team for this ceremony is a deeply moving experience—one of giving and receiving\, purposeful in a way that transcends the self. \nIn times of great challenge\, the elders emphasize the vital importance of continuing these ceremonies for the well-being of our planet and our people. This work requires courage and sacrifice. This is one of those times. \nSometimes\, a Mountain is More Than a Mountain\n \nLong ago\, when drought gripped the land and the rivers ran dry\, a prophecy stirred to life. The spirits of the weather had turned away\, reflecting the growing imbalance between humans and the earth. Seeking guidance\, Sherry Boatright (Don David Wiley’s wife) journeyed to the Nahua highlands of Mexico\, where Don Lucio\, an elder weather worker\, saw beyond time and space. His vision led her to a sacred mountain—one that could speak to the weather spirits and restore the relationship between land and sky. \nUnable to leave his homeland\, Don Lucio entrusted this mission to Don David Wiley\, a conduit of Fire\, a weather worker\, a keeper of ancestral wisdom. Guided by the old ways\, he and Sherry ascended Stone Mountain\, carrying sacred copal to offer their prayers. As the fragrant smoke curled into the sky\, the heavens responded. Rain fell. \nThus\, a forgotten dialogue was rekindled. A bridge between worlds was restored. \nThrough Don David’s service to Grandfather Fire\, the echoes of ancient ceremonies resound once more\, calling us to remember\, to listen\, and to heal our severed connection with the elemental forces that sustain all life. Those who step onto this path do not merely witness history; they become part of it. \n  \n\nAs Caporal Mayor of the Nahua Weather Workers\, Don David supports these biannual rituals to reconnect with this sacred site and mend the severed relationship with the water beings\, the ancestors\, and the sacredness of the land. \nAs part of his service to Divine\, Don David has helped reignite sacred sites. \nFor centuries\, Indigenous peoples around the world lived in deep relationship with everything around them—honoring their ancestors\, life itself\, and the divine forces that sustain us. They celebrated the sacred places that allowed them to communicate with these forces\, ensuring an ongoing relationship through ceremony. Seasonal ceremonies were offered each year to cultivate and nurture this reciprocal relationship of gratitude. \nBut these traditions have been dismissed. Elders are neglected. Our sacred relationship with Mother Earth and all living beings has been distorted. We have forgotten how to listen with our hearts. We seem to have lost our way. \nAt some point in time\, there was a rupture—one that severed our traditions and cast our ancestral wisdom into oblivion. \nNow\, many fail to see that what we have today exists because of the sacrifices and devotion of those who came before—those who listened to nature\, honored their traditions\, and held ceremonies. \nWe must reconnect with these monumental beings—not only to express our appreciation but to actively engage with them once more. Only through this restored relationship can we begin to heal the balance of our world.

SUMMARY:Tsantawu Prep Camp
DESCRIPTION:A specialized\, closed program offered by the Tsantawu Council.\nSACRED STONE MOUNTAIN SPRING OR FALL CEREMONIES – PREP CAMP\nRitual Team Prep Camp: A Path of Service and Belonging\nStepping onto the Ritual Team path is a sacred commitment—one that requires dedication\, endurance\, and a deep sense of purpose. This is not merely an act of service; it is a calling to stand in relationship with the land\, the elements\, and all beings. \nThroughout the year\, those called to this work prepare themselves—fasting\, training\, and refining their spirits\, bodies\, and hearts. Each spring\, they journey to Georgia for days of intense preparation leading up to the Ritual\, where they chant\, dance\, and offer their devotion to the mountain. In the fall\, they return to give thanks\, completing the sacred cycle of reciprocity. \nIt is demanding. It is transformative. And it is profoundly meaningful. \nPhotograph from the SacredStoneMountian.org website \nThe Ritual Team is a village of seekers\, bound by service and guided by tradition. If you feel called to this path\, we invite you to join us—to find purpose\, belonging\, and a deeper connection with life itself. \n\nDon David Wiley is the attending shaman and ritual leader\, currently training Patrick Hanaway to carry forward this sacred responsibility.
