Cave of the Ancients 2025
Our aim is to support an evolutionary and revolutionary transformation that enables humans to realign with life on Earth and flourish. We will use the Medicine Wheel as our map and Earth Wisdom Teachings to empower and heal ourselves.
Our personal awakening serves the collective awakening, and on this journey, we’ll be making ripples of expanded consciousness in the world.
We’ll be learning to evoke the fields of creative genius, heightened awareness, emotional power, clear purpose, healing and resilience, dreaming, courage and acting for the benefit of the whole, integrity and vitality.
This journey includes tools for groups, family situations and the world.
Learning Ceremonies
The journey consists of eight three-day learning ceremonies. You’ll be learning dynamic and practical tools for self-knowledge through relationship with the web of life.
This journey has the potential to bring you dramatic personal growth, and in the intervals between ceremonies you explore the teachings in daily life. In this way you embody the learning and gain the depth of benefit you are seeking.

Carlos Philip Glover – DiamondLight
This journey is about recovering those inner resources in eight realms of consciousness around the Medicine Wheel.
We’re going to train ourselves to access these states of consciousness at will, and be able to bring them into life.
This is a journey for people who really want to make a difference in our world, bring peace into our world, through accessing peace consciousness in ourselves.
Because it is needed in our time. This is what’s called for to bring about the flowering of our own consciousness.
Susan Milner
Sue is passionate about the Sacred and experiences it particularly in the wild places of nature, through body-symptoms and in dreams.
Fully trained in Process Oriented Psychology, she is also an authorised teacher of the Dance of the Directions and a seed carrier of the Discipline of Peace through the Ehama Institute.
Sue is married to Carlos and they have two children. She also co-facilitates the Cave of the Ancients Programme.

Methods
A ‘ceremony’ is an energy container in which we connect with the Universe and the Deep, or Essence Self. During the learning ceremonies we’ll activate this connection through a variety of practices, including dance, song, enquiry, ritual, meditation, drama, dreaming and breathwork.
There will be deep Medicine experiences, and this experiential learning is intended to touch all aspects of our Self, including the spirit, emotion, body and heart-mind as well as the brain.
Discovery Adventures
You’ll regularly receive discovery adventures between ceremonies. These are enjoyable ways to apply the teachings in your life between ceremonies. They are practices to experience the tools of awareness in daily life and do not require a big time commitment.
An example of a discovery adventure is: on rising from bed, set the intention to approach your day with a particular lens; at night before getting into bed, briefly note down what you observed.
Learning Teams
Between ceremonies you’ll be in a learning team of about four people. The aim is to support each other’s growth and learning. You’ll arrange how to keep in touch and are recommended to briefly post about your learning once a week and share verbally at least once between ceremonies.
Witnessing and being witnessed like this is tremendously helpful and builds the learning community.
To enter the silence of your soul in the heart of nature allows us to reconnect with the Mystery of All Life and for this to become our greatest teacher.
Benefits
The journey will strengthen the connection between your personality and Essence Self. This strengthening will be invaluable.
For example your:
- relationships
- inspiration
- productivity
- health and
- overall happiness
are likely to improve. And also potentially your earning capacity.
Challenges won’t disappear after this journey, but you’ll be less likely to make them worse by how you respond to them. Indeed, you’ll be more able to meet them in a life-affirming way and with all your inner resources available to you.
Cave of The Ancients
Who is This For?
This is for people who want to come into deep relationship with our Earth, help bring peace into the human realm and stand in their own unique power and beauty. They want to walk in self-authority and take self-responsibility.
They are willing to attend all ceremonies (unless they have a family emergency), to practice the tools, participate in their learning team.
The journey asks us to look lovingly and deeply into our Self, observe our patterns of thought and behaviour and, where necessary, to encourage life-affirming change. Our purpose is to enable our innate brilliance to shine as brightly as possible.
Group Size
There are twelve places available for this journey.
Venue
On each weekend Fridays and Saturdays (the first two days) will be at a venue near Buckfastleigh, Devon.
Sundays (the third day) will be on Dartmoor (weather permitting).

Earth Wisdom Teachings
This journey is based on one lineage of Earth Wisdom Teachings, known as the “Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge”.
This lineage has been evolving probably for thousands of years, passing orally between teachers and students.
In the last fifty years a few books have been written about it, including my own “Earth Wisdom Teachings” but this precious bundle to wisdom teachings really lives in the hearts and minds of those who practice it. It carries great potential to support the evolution of our collective consciousness.
Our personal awakening serves the collective awakening, and on this journey, we’ll be making ripples of expanded consciousness in the world.

Cave of The Ancients
I’m deeply grateful to have met these profound teachings and be able to walk the path of the Delicate Lodge Teachings.
I have experienced the healing power of being truly heard and seen … what always makes it very special to be guided by Carlos is his caring, dedicated and inspired attention to what is happening and what is needed in the moment.
Earth Wisdom teachings bring us back into a deeper and more intimate connection with ourselves and the world around us. I have found such a sense of inner peace and a growing intimacy with all of life.
