Sheila Armitage is a corporate learning consultant who partners with horses on her coaching team. She finds that this modality helps generate coherence between intellect and heart, as horses have a great capacity to sense what we do not, reflect back truth, show us if we are kidding ourselves, accelerate learning, and move us out of our mental justifications for staying stuck in a rut. Sheila has worked internationally as an organizational learning expert and coach with Fortune 10 to 500 companies, government, non-profits, educational institutions, small businesses, and individuals from C-level leaders to front-line staff. Sheila’s studies are at the intersection of health, business, and quantum science, and she has a Ph.D. in Wisdom Studies. Sheila´s Dissertation is on work-life integration - the mindset and behaviors it takes to fully bridge life between work and home in alignment with your values and who you really are.

a poem for 2016i look out today
looking far, i see an unclouded image if anyone asks it signals a new path guided by an emerging moon a question arises what shall i do now floating clouds flow across suddenly serene sky crisp sound of bell creates crystal clarity time continues to pass years flow like water day and night follow one another with a whisper like a gentle wind ancient harmonies breathe deep and enter quietly to grace our four seasons reminding us to forget aggression and concerns stepping from a temple nestled among majestic mountains a messenger calls forth i am here to announce a new dawn © 2016 Calen Rayne  Catherine Anderson is author of The Creative Photographer and Journaling the Labyrinth Path.

Catherine is a wise elder of the SoulCollage® community. SoulCollage® is an intuitive collage process which gently brings your unconscious into view as you let your soul speak through the language of image. It is a process that can accompany you through all phases of your life - the joys and the sorrows - providing a way for you to express the feelings for which you have no words. It is a process that opens you up to understanding yourself more fully. Through the medium of collage you weave your story and see the larger picture. Welcome, Catherine!

She calls us into healing.Jean is co-founder of Healing Hearts at Wounded Knee. Her current project is leading global ceremonies to heal the multi-generational and multi-lineal effects of massacre, holocaust, and war upon humanity, other species and our beloved planetary home. On this 125th anniversary of Wounded Knee, she is leading the call to end the transmission of wounding, asking us all to honor the endless lineage of our Ancestors & Relatives who have sacrificed their lives in war, violence and massacre. Jean calls us to pledge to End Massacre, End Genocide, End Racism, and End War. We can participate by holding a healing ceremony on December 29th in our hometowns, by supporting riders with our donations, by participating in the historic ride this December, and more. It is as simple as starting where we are.Let us start where we are. If you have been around us at Earth Shamans for any time at all, then you know that we believe all human beings have the power to shape the world in alignment with Spirit, and that it is humanity's job to aid in the restoration of wholeness by consciously bringing spirit and matter together within us. While the stakes are high and the breadth of Jean's call may seem overwhelming, it doesn't have to be. Remember that the memorial ride started 24 years ago with 19 Chief Big Foot Band Memorial riders, and has grown to the hundreds. It is really as simple as starting where we are. Begin by ending the transmission of wounding in yourself. Look in the mirror and pick one thing you see that you normally dislike. Choose instead to like, maybe even love, this aspect of yourself. Or the next time you hear that critical voice in your head berating you about something you should have or shouldn't have done, stop listening and replace that criticism with gratitude for what you have right this moment. And feeding into that which heals us.This may sound like an optimist's pep talk, but it's not. This is about filling the spaces within us and the places around us with the fullness of our imperfect selves in gratitude, love, compassion, respect, hope and joy, so that there is no longer room for thoughts, feelings, and actions that feed the wounding that suffers us all. It reminds me of the well-known tale of a wise, elderly Cherokee who told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside each of us: "There is a battle between two wolves, my son, inside us all. One inflicts pain. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other offers healing. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, serenity, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson sat quietly awhile and then asked the grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee replied simply, "The one that you feed." Welcome Jean. Thank you for leading so many to feed the healing wolf. |
