what is council?
Council is a timeless technology, universal in form and function. The recipe is simple, two or more beings circled around a fire with a talking stick and an intention, whom speak and listen from the heart. Rather simple ingredients, whose alchemy provides access to a rich and fertile field of collective resource, resilience, remedy and resolve—beyond that of each individual.
who is this council for?
This offering is for the organic ones—those spiritualizing matter—living at the precipice of becoming and who stand at the emergent and living edge of possibility, where there are no maps or reference points for what awaits. If you're open, welcoming, and receptive to the experience of a communal space to bring, breathe and be you; to digest, absorb, assimilate and eliminate the contents of your life experience; and to sow seeds, tend blooms, and harvest fruits of heart—in service to all of life—than this circle is definitely for you.
why council now?
In these radical times a nourishing space for path-cutters to connect is critical, especially as the dissolution—of the thin ice of what has been—accelerates and what will be looms in the mists just over the horizon. In gathering, connecting, and communing with intention and from the heart, the awe-some and terrifying somatic experience of groudlessness is grounded—and the wild fires of the big three of isolation; depression, and hopelessness are tempered by the cooling waters of camaraderie. It is with kin, new and old, where new and old cracks and crevices reveal to heal thru alchemy—and bridges are built today to morrow.
about your facilitator:
My name is kenneth fried and i am a holy luminous miracle as vast as the cosmos having a human experience. Since my youth i've enjoyed the alchemy of deep and meaningful connection; and catalyzing conversation juxtaposed with silence, solitude, stillness.i am a living paradox of presence; and both i and my life are a mystery to many, including myself. While i do much in service to life, the bulk of what i do is be — beneath, behind, between, and beyond.i invite you to this rare and precious opportunity to join me and your kin for a perception-provoking, emotion-enriching, heart-warming experience at the next council with kin ❤️Interested in hosting a council with kin or have a question?

when's the next council?
The date/time is yet to be determined and here's why. i am the facilitator of CwK and a conduit to assist the coordination and synchronization of infinite intent. i have dates in mind for Council; and in the spirit of participation and collaboration, i call on you, my kin, to share your availability with me and us because you + me = we + it takes at least two to tango.
