HIGHWAY OF LIFE

The pinnacle program of Eyaa-Keen's "Being Me, Being Free"™ series is the Highway of Life. This intensive ten-day session takes place each summer, and is a journey of enhancing and increasing creativity, clarity, energy, and inner grown.

The 2008 Highway of Life marked the 13th session, taking place July 4 to 13 at Pinewood Lodge in Manitoba's beautiful Whiteshell region.

The Highway of Life is an advanced and accelerated process where participants come together with people of similar mind and purpose, within an atmosphere of safety, comfort and support. The body, mind and heart are retrained to remember, experience, and draw upon the goodness of life and the real purpose of living.

The work done is progressive in nature, and benefits participants for the next year. It is suitable for those who have a sincere desire to improve the quality of their wellbeing, relationships, and life, and who are willing to do the work required to make it happen. It involves becoming aware of and undoing habits, patterns and ways that prevent one from living a higher way of life, and is intended for Aboriginal adults who have been seeking:

  • To improve the quality of their life.
  • To improve their own functional abilities and their families.
  • New ways, behaviours, and disciplines in order to become better parents, workers, leaders and mentors within their family, community and society.

Participants will learn, over a series of sessions, how to heal themselves in a kind and gentle manner by following an individually designed treatment plan. They become better able to handle and address stress, anxiety, fears, depression and anger in their lives, by addressing underlying issues causing one to be stuck, anxious, depressed, helpless, angry, struggle and in pain.

Through healthy and progressive changes, participants better support themselves and loved ones in good ways, as they develop and apply self-care and self-management disciplines that restore peace of mind and inner calmness, and strengthen the weaker aspects of self.

Through this Aboriginal Traditional based training, they learn to refocus and bring order to life; enhance and expand personal and professional skills; reconnect with and clarify natural knowingness; develop effective disciplines for continual growth; and become more grounded and connected.

RETRAINING THE MIND, BODY & SPIRIT

The journey to retraining the mind, body and spirit is an inner-development process to further enhance and develop one's present outer skills and abilities from the inside out. The emphasis is on gently experiencing and learning how to revive/retrain all levels of oneself from a core-based holistic approach. Participants consciously work on undoing and releasing old patterns and old ways of thinking and doing that drains and/or hinders natural, creative energy from flowing in healthy ways.

A series of carefully designed processes allow participants to:

  • Begin to remove large masses of stress, tension, exhaustion, negativity, hurts and fear from inside and around their being.
  • Learn to consciously handle and work with more energy and life.
  • Strengthen the weaker aspects of self.

Through the process of releasing, one begins to have more energy and a clearer, broader consciousness to understand, re-choose, and retrain oneself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. The journey, naturally, brings one to:

  • Becoming a stronger, clearer and effective leader personally and professionally.
  • Being more energized and grounded.
  • Increased creativity and purpose.
  • Being more self-directed and decisive.
  • Enhanced self-care/management disciplines.
  • Recognize and accept healthy, life affirming support.
