(NEPSK) New Earth Resiliency Training Module is a combination of life skills and spiritual skills. It teaches an ethos of self-reliance and of living closer to the earth with an animus world view. Drawing upon our surrounding resources, it treats the city as a catalyst for building relations with various neighborhoods and communities. This earth based education syllabus strengthens the resiliency of the neighborhood by activating young people and equipping them with skills, knowledge, and a sense of self. Studying folk craft and tracing the genesis of ideas, objects and beliefs in an effort to re-wilding ourselves. One of the key component is “Rite of Passage” - the ceremonially recognized passing of an individual from one state to another. Whether transitioning from childhood through puberty to adolescence, from young adulthood to middle age, from late middle age to elderhood, and from elderhood to death or any kind of life change or transition to be marked. In so doing the individual’s societal role is changed and transformed. This change is often reflected in a shift in their title. They step into a new role with new privileges and responsibilities recognized and celebrated by their community. The lack of this type of recognition by elders often forces urban youth to initiate themselves into joining gangs, with negative consequences. If the fires that innately burn inside youths are not intentionally and lovingly added to the hearth of community,
Why do we need rituals?
Our Ancestor have been around for about 6 million years. Modern human only evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization is about 6,000 years old. Industrialization started in 1800 and this is where it goes down hill. We just need to step back 200 years.

Anthropocene |ˈanθrəpəˌsēn| Contemporary ecological and societal crises present unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Driven by increases in human population and per capita consumption of resources, and shaped by the consequent contamination and degradation of the natural and built environments, our current path is clearly unsustainable. We have the opportunity to move away from the gloomy historical nihilism that characterizes the reign of our patriarchal and dominator culture. An integrative approach is required if we are to create new options for a sustainable future. The environmental challenges of the 21st century require individuals who understand environmental, scientific and spiritual complexities and can implement a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental problem-solving at personal, local, regional and global scales.

Artist as neophyte shaman rational: Beuys believed that humanity, with its turn on rationality, was trying to eliminate “emotions” and thus eliminate a major source of energy and creativity in every individual. In his first lecture tour in America he was telling the audience that humanity was in an evolving state and that as “spiritual” beings we ought to draw on both our emotions and our thinking as they represent the total energy and creativity for every individual. Beuys described how we must seek out and energize our spirituality and link it to our thinking powers so that “our vision of the world must be extended to encompass all the invisible energies with which we have lost contact.” Beuys observed at the time that “his personal crisis” caused him to question everything in life. He saw death not only in the inevitability of death for people but also death in the environment and he became, through his art and his political activism, a strong critic of the environmental destruction. Continuing Bueys work, I’m acting as mediator between Gaia and it’s stewards, I’m gearing up 2013 and lead New Earth project with a new uniform (ceremonial regalia) to navigate Spaceship Earth for a more compassionate, empathy and gnosis crew that will lead with action and conscience in building A New Earth. We have entered a period of great change, a synchronized, related crash of the economy and the ecology with food shortages, climate catastrophes, massive economic change and global geopolitical instability. The great disruption will ultimately take human society to a higher evolutionary state. One that is not biological but consciousness - a neo archaic rivival. This disruption is inevitable and imminent and despair is a stage we have to go through. In fact it is a positive sign of denial is coming to an end. We all need to arrive at, individually and collectively and one that we must move through. Hope is waiting above the periscope when view with different level of personal spiritual alignment. "The shaman role is to become a bridge for the power of creation and for the Creator. A bridge that healed the Earth and all the things of the Earth, making life truly rich, free from sins of the flesh. It is to leave our children a legacy of love and purity, rather than a world of hatred and greed. The quest of the shaman is to heal on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level all things of the earth and sky. We are part of a whole, a collective consciousness that encompasses all things. If one part of the whole is sick, we ourselves are sick and cannot be whole until all is whole." - Excerpt from Awakening Spirits, Tom Brown, Jr. The Rainbow prophecy, as it has come to be known, refers to the keepers of the legends, rituals, and other myths that will be needed when the time comes to restore the health on Earth. It is believed that these legendary beings will return on a day of awakening, when all people will unite and create a new world of justice, peace and freedom, and they will be named the ‘Warriors of the Rainbow’. They will reteach the values and the knowledge that has been lost in time, demonstrating how to have wisdom and extra-perception, and how unity, harmony and love is the only way forward.

Shamanism open up a new world view of energy and spirits that connect us all for one source and anyone can tap into the resources and access it's wisdom.
Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land Newhouse Contemporary Art, Staten Island Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land explores how spirituality manifests itself out of the connections between internal experience and the material world. How can we connect with nature in a society that continues to give primacy to disposability and mass-consumption? How do we move away from a mindset of scarcity to one of collaboration? How can we be transformed from the egocentric “i” to the love supreme “I AM”? In this work, artist Tattfoo Tan uses participatory prompts, games and affirmations to engage in the play of the universe. Let the process begin.

We make a vessel from a lump of clay; - Tao Teh Ching, Chapter 11. We are all made for different purpose, different form and shape yet all of the space within is the same. That space is not empty but connected. We might have individual thinking and preferences, yet our action effect each other. Collectively we are a single consciousness.
NEPSK-Ceremonial Altar Profane space differs from sacred space in that it has no fixed point or enter from which to gain orientation. Profane space has no axis mundi, no cosmic tree or pillar leading to the heavens. This is the experience of modernity: people unable to locate a center. An alter is a focal point to concentrate and also to remind

I'm glad to invite you to the course Love Your Self. My name is Eros Romero and I've been teaching this course for more than 20 years.

We make magic by manipulating symbols and telling our stories. Our lives are a constant interchange between our inner and outer worlds. As humans, we are programmed to perceive ourselves reflected in everything. And we act according to those beliefs. Every single decision that we make shapes the world into being. Thus, if we had deep self-knowledge, we could unlock every individual’s ability to change the world as we see it. If we all could be who we were really meant to be, we believe the world would be infinitely more interesting. Text by: https://labyrinthos.co/
