The Warrior Wisdom Tipi is a sacred teaching model that represents the path of spiritual growth, self-leadership, and conscious living. Inspired by Indigenous wisdom and natural law, each part of the tipi holds symbolic meaning, Guiding us toward a life of balance, strength, and alignment with Creator.
The 12 poles represent the Core Virtues — foundational values such as humility, courage, honesty, wisdom, respect, love, truth, and others. These virtues hold the structure of the tipi, just as they hold us steady on our journey.
