Neuron Code Tribal Training

I remember the first time I saw a tribal battle. I was about 6 or 7 years old and I saw two tribes attack each other with spears and machetes.

It was intense and impactful but didn’t leave me “traumatized” because where I was born and raised, war is something normal and expected. Peace was something you found between conflict.

Also, the woman who raised me was from the Simbu tribe (who are well known for being hardcore warriors) and she taught me a lot.

After seeing a lot of crazy and unnecessary violence one day I realized 3 things that seem contradictory but actually aren’t:

1) Your boundaries are real. Whether personal or collective, you have a right to enforce them if necessary. Nobody should be able to hurt you against your will.

2) Boundaries are also an illusion. We are connected far more deeply by our shared humanity than divided by our differences.

3) A truly peaceful warrior never gives up the fight, he/she just fights for inner peace first.

Whether we know it or not, we are tribal beings. The key is to recognize that our tribe is bigger than our beliefs.

There are forces in this word that want to divide us, turn us away from our humanity and create an existence where forget that we can choose peace over war as well as fight for what’s right from THAT place.

“Live with a peaceful heart; cultivate a warrior’s spirit.” — Dan Millman

In tribal wisdom, the warrior wasn’t the loudest—
he was the most rooted.

Rooted in his people.

Rooted in the land that held him.

Rooted in the circle that reminded him who he was.

Peace in the heart.

Fire in the spirit.

Community at your back.

That’s how a warrior walks the world.

This is something that I have not shared publicly before.

In 1980, my family moved from the United States to Papua New Guinea. They were immediately adopted by a tribe from the Ohuru region of Madang (a coastal region).

This is something that had never happened at any point in history. Especially to a white family from the United States.

The man on the right in this picture is Dui.

He was the chief of the clan and was like a brother to my dad (on the right).

When I was born, not only did he insist that I be named after his father, but that I be made a chief and tasked with guardianship of their tribal lands when I became an adult.

Most people can’t begin to understand the profound responsibility and connection I have to my tribe and land.

Everything I do starts there

In the modern world, even if you’re part of a nation or a family, it’s so easy to feel like a person disconnected from purpose and the profound meaning that comes from knowing what you’re here to do.

When people forget that they really are tribal beings, they are easily manipulated, they get sick and they lose their power. They get addicted to mindless pleasure because they are fighting their deepest instincts, they just don’t know it.

The medicine is connection. The medicine is care. The medicine is protecting what is yours.

Everything I teach in the Neuron Code and the leadership training comes from direct experience. It’s in my bones.

It’s not just hypnosis and healing. It’s not just leadership and coaching. It’s a return to your instincts.

Everything I do is for them and you.

You need to remember your tribal self to survive this crazy modern life.

A Powerful Shift in How I Help Clients Create Lasting Change

I began my coaching practice in my early 20’s and dove deep into hypnosis and NLP.

Apart from studying with some of the best (and honest) folks in the field, I constantly explored and tested different approaches.

Everything from CBT and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy to The 3 Principles and various “out there” spiritual methods.

Although I got great results with clients, I struggled to integrate my personal history of growing up with indigenous tribes in Papua New Guinea, the latest neuroscience and my own experience as a long term meditation practitioner.

Last year I connected with and as we began diving into his Neuron Code work, several things happened:

The challenges I was having helping clients impact their own life in a truly systemic and transformative way dissolved.

Those who embarked on a deeply embodied journey (exploring how their neurology, biology, and ancestral wisdom held the key to their transformation) found the personal change they were seeking.

My own life experience also rapidly transformed.

Certain personal issues I had been dealing with and trying to work through for over 2 decades resolved.

It was clear that not only was there a “there” there, but that it was elegant, effective and integrated all the many modalities and life perspectives I had into something I could really get behind.

We are now doing some VERY cool things together to be announced shortly.

Stay tuned!
