join council

for connection; cohesion; coherence & for camaraderie

what is council?

Council is a timeless technology, universal in form and function, practiced in countless cultures across time and space. The core recipe is simple, two or more beings circled around an altar (often a fire) with a talking stick and an intention, whom speak and listen from the heart. Simple ingredients, whose alchemy provides access to a rich and fertile field of collective resource, remedy and resolve — beyond that of each individual.

Furthermore, direct experience has revealed this council isn't just a council, but a collective constellation and sacred ceremonial gathering in service to life; generating connection, cohesion and camaraderie — and amplifying personal and planetary coherence.

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 value the medicine of vulnerability; authenticity; and intimacy — and you're open and receptive to a hearty communal space to bring, breathe and be you; to give and receive; to digest, absorb, assimilate, eliminate and compost your life experience; to sow seeds, tend blooms, and harvest fruits of heart — weaving as a collective in service to one another and life — than this council is for you.

why council now?

In these radical times a nourishing space for path-cutters to connect is critical, especially as the thin ice of what has been thaws at an accelerating pace — and what will be looms as a thick fog of possibility. In gathering, connecting, and communing with intention and from the heart, the awe-ful and terrifying somatic experience of groudlessness is grounded — and wild fires like loneliness; isolation; depression and hopelessness are quelled by the cooling waters of camaraderie. It is in counciling with kin, new and old, where new and old cracks and crevices reveal to heal and seal thru sacred alchemy — and bridges of light are built today to morrow.

about your facilitator:

i am the One Born of Firei am Life Friedfertig.My given name is Kenneth Ira Friedfertig and i am the first in three generations to claim and re-member the whole and complete ancestral patriarchal surname of my human family line.For decades i've enjoyed what i have a natural disposition for, alchemy; and more specifically the alchemy of presence; depth; authenticity; heartfelt connection; and catalyzing conversation — paired with the sacred elixirs of silence, solitude, and stillness.While i do much in service to life, the bulk of what i do is be — be neath, be hind, be tween, and be yond. i am a peacekeeper, weaver, bridge; and a Huna Qi Vesta. i am a man of heart; and i love, purify, and refine with ferorious tenderness. i am a living paradox and both i and my life experience are a mystery to many, including myself.i invite you to this rare and precious opportunity to deep dive with life and your kin for a heart-monizing; perception-provoking; and emotionally-enriching experience [+ mu^C—H mor^e] at our next event.P.S. — for those curious, my birth kin is: Jun (1) Tz'ikin 🦅

“Tonight we’re circling up once again with a gifted facilitator. Ken is my brother and a powerful space holder, gifted at evoking the real soma of life in us all. Join us and you might just discover one of your favorite new intimate containers of REALITY building and morphogenesis for the New Earth...a Sacred Space for the Soul and Chrysalis of Consciousness for the authentic wisdom seeker...”
— Aru Hearth, Innerspire Collective

my why:

This is the playground i'm inspired to craft;
to play, laugh, cry and connect
to peel, reveal, and feel
to witness and be witnessed
to commune with Self and Source
to share in the sweetness of Life
...and to birth life anew

“Ken is an amazingly skilled and compassionate listener which is demonstrated by the sheer effect of just his presence in space-holding and reaches Beyond the time shared together. His support has been critical in my path and I’m so greatful for the recalibration he’s offered in his example of being a fathering presence. May we all get the opportunity to be so tenderly held in our journeys in the way you so gracefully do Ken.”
— Shannon Kelley–Thomas —

my second why:

i need to share this love — this referring to this expression of my desire to include — and if i need to express this love then we need the fruits of this love; for in Oneness there is no separation. In service to this, i have chosen — by way of a choiceless choice; a deep and rooted commitment to life; and an especially rigorous initiatory life-path — to sit with; to tend; and offer my_self as a fuel Source — to the sacred fire of life — so as to Self-forge this holy vessel into the embodiment of inner-architecture required — to birth; be; and share this cauldron — for Source to (re)Source and nourish us as can only happen here, now, and in this council.

join us... we're gathering soon...

Our first council is TBD @ T:BD — and here's why t:bd. i am the facilitator of CwK and a conduit to assist the coordination and synchronization of infinite intent. While i have the eyes of my heart on specific dates, there are many variables out of my control, which contribute to a chosen date. Deciding on a date is a living and organic revelatory process which, like life, i am surrendered to. Further, my guidance is to s l o w d o w n ; and to begin by allowing for the natural winds of heart-to-heart connection and inspired sharing to carry the seed of this offering where it may, to whom it may; in service to the gathering of resonant kin.

council with your kin:
$14.50+ for your 1^st council
$29+ / council thereafter

participatory scheduling + registration:

Once life has revealed and decided on a date, i will send you a link to a poll with potential meeting times. In the spirit of collaboration and participation, i call on you, my kin, to share your availability with me and us because you + me = we; and for this offering, we decide. When the poll closes and a time is chosen, i'll email you instructions to register. The only way to share your availability and/or register is to be a member of our private email list.
This means, registration links will not be posted publicly on this page.

Your contribution matters, whether that's sharing this page with your kin; sharing your availability in the poll; or thru the presence of your mighty beingness in Council.

As long as you're on our email list,
you'll receive all the details.

you belong and you are welcome
