Indigenous Approaches to Wholeness & Well-BEing

create Conscious Choice. live Natural Congruence.

 

con·scious choice: the creative process directing our human experience

nat·u·ral con·gru·ence: the choice to know our place within nature; to know we are nature

 

CHOICE TRIBE™ is an experience, an education, and a community collaboration―a culture―where well-being is the creation of oneness between nature and the people. We believe conscious choice is the creative process directing the human experience to Mind-Body-Heart-Spirit-Earth congruence.

 

The calling to become a CHOICE Seeker emerges from deep within your heart, and yet, it is also the voice of our ancestors alongside the archetypal Horse, whispering stories of symbiosis between human consciousness and the natural world. The path of each CHOICE Seeker is unique. It is a journey of InnerStanding that aims to return reciprocity to the human experience by returning choice to the Horse. This act―both symbolic and physical―sets in motion a paradigm shift around the historical pattern of human power and dominance to a dialogue about congruity with all forms of life. As we become aware of the continuous cycle in which all parts of the natural world are dynamically and inseparably evolving, we reclaim and revitalize a human experience rooted in accountability and alignment to the well-being of ourselves and the collective Earth community. It is in this space of ancient knowing where we attune to a life of Conscious Choice and Natural Congruence.
