deep ancient wisdoms of the Cherokee to revolutionise your leadership
The deep ancient wisdoms of the Cherokee are an opportunity to revolutionise your leadership. The cherokee tribe are an indigenous peoples of North America holding many ancient wisdoms that were passed down from one generation to the next that maintained a harmonic and sacred relationship with the Earth and all species. We live in a world where suffering, misery, disconnection, confusion and powerlessness has primarily been expressed throughout humanity in the modern age. Perhaps some ancient proven wisdom that has worked for thousands of years could be the solution to our current age problems? The central problem in today’s society is the disconnection between one another and the separation of divinity and oneness in our society. This disconnection affects us all to varying degrees depending on where you are on the deepening of your awakening journey.
Can you relate to any of the below experiences?
a) Feeling like you can’t rely on others and have to do it alone?
b) Feeling like despite living amongst so many people, that you aren’t fully seen or heard?
c) A sense that you are holding yourself back from fully expressing yourself in this world?
d) Feel the burden of the modern world pressures with minimal time and constant rushing?

// The 12 core values that the ancients embodied for leadership that served their communities for the highest and best
// The Cherokee’s perspective on making decisions that affects others
// Short term gain vs. Long term perspective
// The Power of Focusing on solutions vs. resisting problems
// Why having a daily practice is essential to stay firm within your centre
// A suggested daily practice you can bring into your life & leadership
