The Invisible Path reaches out ahead, beckoning, inviting. It holds the keys to empowerment, guides us towards self-responsibility, self-leadership, self-awareness, and deep loving connectedness with life. It is by nature elusive, mysterious, glimpsed, ephemeral. It is a warrior’s way, a peacemaker’s way, a way toward expression of the deep desire to truly be yourself in your life, and to make a powerful contribution to the world – one that is aligned with your gifts, passion and experience. This is a joyful, soulful, and profoundly regenerative way to finding Home.

Name your tribes!’ he said. ‘NAME YOUR TRIBES!!’ Outside the wind howled, choked, and bellowed. Inside I was tearing apart. ‘You are a broken people, yet you long to find healing. You have lost your courage. You will not find your heart in Tibet. You have to search. Take your offering to the trees, to the river, to the mountain. Speak your grief, speak of your longing, speak of the home you dimly remember. You too have ancestors who once stood in awe of our Mother Earth. The sacred wells, the oak groves, the great stones are calling you. When you begin to walk the ancient trackways and listen for the old songs, you will awaken the land, you will awaken the people, you will awaken yourself. You will come alive, and this land will once more be named as She is ……… SACRED.’ Then softly, ‘I said, sacred’………”

Support Facilitator, Alisa Esposito directs Sparkroot, a gathering place for wondering about what it means to be a modern human in these strange and troubling times. How might we revive our imaginations, decolonize our minds, and make our way toward a more beautiful world for our children’s children? Alisa is a dedicated traveler of the West’s many dark and winding rabbit holes – you can find her writing, painting mythic portraiture or popping seeds in the soil at Sparkroot’s permaculture farm, or studying at such renegade learning halls as Stephen Jenkinson’s Orphan Wisdom School and Martin Shaw’s School of Myth. Before her Red Wolf Biologist husband’s death by the industrial disease ALS, Alisa worked many years in wildlife conservation and field biology, with animals ranging from parrots, woodpeckers, wolves and martins. She now offers her shoulder to restorative projects such as Go Conscious Earth, protecting rainforest, indigenous land rights and wildlife habitat. Alisa also works in green burial,  death culture change and as a permaculture teacher.
