Mission EarthPath's mission is to provide educational information to those interested in or dedicated to Earth-centered spirituality. The curriculum on this site is designed to give the student the materials needed to become knowledgeable in general Earth-centered shamanic spirituality. In the EarthPath Tradition, our goal is to assist the student in identifying his/er personal spiritual path and encourage the student to pursue that path. We accept and honor the student’s choices and rejoice in the diversity it brings to our circle. Teaching Philosophy Should a student become interested in being ordained into a ministerial position through EarthPath, completing the entire curriculum will prepare the student for that ordination. However, a student may elect to complete the course work while not being ordained. In that case, the course work will prepare the student for spiritual leadership in whatever role s/he wishes to fulfill. The complete course is extensive and takes three to five years to complete, depending upon the student. Progression is always determined on an individual basis. For those students who have been studying either as a solitary or under the tutelage of another teacher or tradition, please email WindRider to work out a means of determining where EarthPath study should begin. Training and Course Information EarthPath study may be done in several ways: in a student/mentor program, in online/long distance guided learning and as a member of the Circle of the Owl and Kestrel (O.A.K. Circle), located in Wise County, Texas. Listed below are the mentors currently with EarthPath. There is no charge for the student/mentor program, online guided training or circle membership. Online Course Information (to come) Online courses are $55.00 fee per student per course and the student is required to purchase textbooks. The student studies at his or her own pace and investigates topics of interest to the student as the mentor determines the student emotionally, spiritually and intellectually prepared for them. Online courses are based on a three month (13 week) course. These include reading, writing, research, journaling and meditative activities. Successful completion is evaluated on a combination graded-pass/fail basis. Once a student has registered and paid the appropriate fee, s/he will receive the username and password for the selected course.
