In traditional cultures the Warrior was the great protector, often following a solitary and detached path of intense training and self-cultivation, and forsaking his own desires to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. Being a Warrior entailed far more than simple physical prowess, however; mental and emotional cultivation were equally important in the Warrior’s self-formation.

While the form of the Warrior has shifted in our society, it is not gone. We each face numerous struggles in the world, and have daily opportunities to develop ourselves into spiritual Warriors cultivating our mental, emotional, and physical strength in order to support and assist our brothers and sisters. Guarded by the White Tiger, the Warrior’s Way village holds space for the discussion and practice of the skills of the Warrior in the many forms they take.

Our village offers several spaces for the cultivation of the Warrior’s craft. The Warrior’s Arena offers workshops focused on energy awareness and cultivation through tai chi and qi gong, martial arts in the form of Kenpo, and movement through capoeira and dance. Additionally it will host workshops on traditional skills such as sustainable animal harvesting and the awareness of nature, as it is crucial for the Warrior to have an intimate familiarity and respect for the world in which he lives. Saturday and Sunday evenings our village will host drum and dance circles, bringing out the Warrior spirit in its full glory of community connection and celebration.
