These brilliant people have dedicated the last two years to walking the Shamanic path, and studying traditional healing techniques, from North and South America, that came from respected Elders, who gave permission to share them.
They did two, four day vision quests, put on a community clinic, and supported each other through concentrated introspection, and life shifting, supporting change. They have taken vows to protect our natural world, and to be in service to their circles, and community. We/ they, have all grown together, giving each other grace, truth, unconditional listening, tears, and an ever growing love.
I am honored to stand with them. If you see them, please congratulate them for authentic effort, dedication, and willingness to accept the accountability and responsibility that is inseparable from this path.

Yesterday, Lily and I walked into the woods to sing to all of our friends there. This beautiful COW greeted us. It had been frozen, and so it was rubbery, and I left it. The Bear have been active, and the Ravens have been by, to say hello and look for bread crumbs.
Getting caught up with buttoning up for Winter, and beginning to see clients again!

These are photos I hadn’t shared yet. They were all taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway, in North Carolina. We were in the general area for a couple weeks. The first week it was so crowded with people but when we left there on Monday, the campground we were staying in was closing that day.
It was raining and we were about the only people on the parkway and there were deer everywhere and wild turkeys. It felt like nature was reclaiming it, and it was magical.

Some of these photos were taken up off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We left Cherokee today to head back to Asheville via the Blue Ridge Parkway. We have seen some of the devastation that Helene brought. The bones of the Ancestors are everywhere here, and thus, this is all sacred ground. We are honored to be with them, and acknowledge them. We are parked just above the Swannanoa river.
Tomorrow we meet with a dear friend, and teacher, Jeff Firewalker, and Ed and Sue, from our Red Leaf Elder’s Council.

Back in Cherokee, with the Elk, Eagle, and Cardinal’s singing. The Smokies are a place that my grandpa traveled to from Ohio whenever he could. There’s a strong feeling of home here. Today we walked Lily along the Oconaluftee River. Visited the slave cemetery to pay our respects, and the Mingus mill.
We also paid our respects to Mingo Falls, a sacred place to the Cherokee people, and yesterday visited Looking Glass Falls.

We took a little trip to Wells, Maine.
Chicken of the Woods in abundance. The Oaks and Maples were stunning.
Lily, loving on the class last weekend!

Last Sunday, this community of Shamanic Apprenticeship year l students were initiated with the words from our dear Elder Lightning.
They took individual vows on how they will show up for themselves, our Earth Mother, and their communities. For many of them it’s been a year of unraveling, reclaiming, introspection, and a deep dive inward, examining biases, beliefs and thoughts that held them captive. Many of them visited the death lodge where they were able to integrate their shadows after sitting with them for as long as it took. The shifts and growth we’ve observed this year is a true testament to this path. They’ve created strong foundations for their lives and practices. I am honored to walk with them.

On Saturday, the year l apprenticeship group traveled to the sacred springs that the Abenaki band of Missisquoi have reclaimed here in Vermont. We honored, sang to, picked up trash, on these sacred lands, in recognition of Indigenous People’s Day.

Last week, on a beautiful Autumn day, these soulful, wisdom keepers, and myself traveled to a neighboring state to hang out with the trolls, mossy glens, portals, and dancing waters. It’s been a long while since I’ve had a play date and it was glorious!
Thank you Sandy for sharing your favorite sacred places, and to you Jess for driving.
