Spend a reflective afternoon with don Miguel Ruiz Jr. as he interweaves the wisdom of The Four Agreements with insights from his new book, The Poisoned Arrow. The focus is on how unnoticed agreements and inherited fears shape identity, choices, and relationships, and how bringing awareness to these patterns invites freedom, authenticity, and a deeper sense of peace. Through The Four Agreements, he explains how self-limiting beliefs take root and how four simple commitments can guide a life grounded in freedom, love, and happiness. The Poisoned Arrow looks closely at a learned fear that can pass as ordinary behavior, appearing as hesitation, shrinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or silence. Instead of battling fear or trying to erase it, the approach is to see it clearly, name it without judgment, and make new choices even when fear is still present. The aim is not to become fearless, it is to live freely. The session explores how unconscious agreements script the story you live each day, where psychological fear can hide inside seemingly reasonable decisions, and a Toltec practice of observing the mind so fear is witnessed rather than embodied. It also addresses how to tell inherited beliefs from your authentic inner voice, why discomfort can signal real healing rather than failure, and what it means to remove the arrow instead of only soothing the pain. Attendees can expect to recognize when identity is being confused with knowledge, gain insight into how past agreements have shaped reality, release the fear of who they are without those beliefs, reshape their personal narrative, and form new agreements that align with their true selves. About don Miguel Ruiz Jr.: He began his apprenticeship at age 14 with his father, don Miguel Ruiz Sr., and his grandmother, Madre Sarita, translating her prayers, talks, and workshops from Spanish into English and absorbing the teachings through continual practice. He witnessed her devotion to healing on physical and spiritual levels. After a decade of apprenticeship and intensified training in his mid twenties, his father challenged him to find his own way and fully embrace life. He continues to apply these lessons to claim personal freedom and a sense of peace, and as a Nagual he shares his family’s wisdom and tools to support personal freedom and physical and spiritual wellbeing.
