Scout Simon’s post Camp Letter.

It’s been a week since I have come back form an amazing Native Eyes weekend and wow.

There are a few things we get to do in life, a few things we get to experience that have such a gravity to them that we are never the same once we do it.

Scout Camp with Mr. Twenty Twenty is one of those experiences.

You’re so well looked after by Mr. Twenty Twenty and his beautiful wife Carol. The food is amazing the accommodation fantastic.  Add that to the absolute caring detail and personal attention you get in every moment (and I really do mean every moment) that has to be experienced to be believed.

So it’s easy to put into words these qualities and the activities that you get to experience, like making fire by friction, animal tracking skills, becoming invisible and all the other good stuff that you get to do.  All of these things are great fun and change something quite profound and obvious inside you.  Gaining basic survival skills and the knowledge that you are completely capable of looking after yourself from what surrounds you all the time, seems to take the pressure off in very day life making everything you do easier.

Yeah, yeah, that’s all a gimme ….

What’s not easy to put into words is the connections you get to make, to nature, to people, yourself, to everything. It’s like driving around at 5mph with a misted up windscreen and then someone comes along and shows you how to use the de-mister.  The view clears up and changes completely.  Not only that, they then show you that there are other directions that you can take and discover, ways that you never thought possible.  And to cap it off you are invite to step out of the car and explore the potential that exists around you.

The beauty in this, is that you are guided, step by step to do this by yourself, in your very own personal way, it’s not done for you (and that’s a big golden point). This is where one of Twenty Twenty’s incredibly unique gift comes into play.  He tracks you (part of the skill set you get to learn and play with), in real time through all of the events that unfold during the weekend, discovering and noticing the most minute details, the result being that the ripples of the weekends training get transferred into your life, generating amazing potential in your everyday interactions with everything and everyone.

It’s akin to waking up for the very first time, it really does change every thing.

I used to think I could do it on my own, the truth is I could only get part of the way by myself. It’s so much more fun and so much quicker when the path is illuminated and twenty and Carol really shine that light with you.

The Native Eye’s weekend was a surprise gift from my gorgeous partner Megan, and there is nothing that she could have given me in this world that I could have loved more (apart from her of course).  And I know she will gain the benefits from me having had this experience for many, many, many years to come.  Well to be honest the benefits are already apparent to her.  She is blooming with potential too.

Thank you Twenty and Carol for creating such a wonderful and unique adventure in awareness.  It takes great courage and care to put something like this together that absolutely everyone can profoundly benefit from. It is an event that I personally think everyone should do.  The world would be a better place if we all took a little time to wake up to what is really going on around and inside ourselves and our amazing potential within that.

If anyone wants to contact me to ask about the experience, you are welcome to go ahead and email me at simonbsheridan(at)bigpond.com.

Cheers.
