I saw this video today and resonate with it deeply as it speaks to the spirit of what we are doing here within this school. Â May Spirit guide us along this journey.Â

One of my most popular posts on Facebook in months was a simple question: If a few of us started an eco village around the Edmonton area, who would be interested?
A lot of people liked the idea and over 50 people put their hat into the circle. I feel moved to write about the idea. My own experience over the last 13 years to work with people on the land has been full of failure, but also some astounding success. I am no fan of using colonial constructs to build community. If we are going to decolonize, return to the land and rebuild our ancestral tribes, we must go through a significant amount of healing and decolonization. Most of the intentional communities that I’ve read or heard stories about, have fail or struggle because some foundational truths are not realized and addressed. As a result, trauma, co-dependency and colonial constructs seep into the relationships and start to erode the hard work that people have put into the community.
My school, White Walking Feather’s School for the Pacem Arts, is designed to work on those core fundamentals to help people prepare for life within such communities. With the deterioration of modern social structures, institutions and relationships, people are now interested in returning to the land, growing their own gardens and working together to provide for our basic needs, social interaction and security.
I’ve modified the medicine wheel to reflect some of these de-colonization medicines required for us to make this transition. It starts with the green circle in the middle of the wheel, which represents our heart. By healing, we find space within ourselves to no longer participate in war, violence, force or aggression. This is why the school is centered on the Sacred Heart Circle and started here first. By being vulnerable and walking as Spiritual Braves, we confront our past, heal and build profoundly intimate relationships with one another. If people refuse to do this work, it will be identified early and could safe a lot of problems and heart ache as some people refuse to end the war and declare peace. It is this type of peaceful relationships that is at the core of any intentional community or tribe. War has no place here. By learning the protocols on how to do this work, we significantly increase the probabilities that our relationships within the community or tribe will be successful.
The blue circle is all about personal knowledge and health. Of all the investments in the world, these two reap the greatest rewards and can never be taken away from us by others. When we explore the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual relationships in our lives, we acknowledge the wide scope and depth of our relationships with self, Creator, Mother Earth and everyone else who shares this realm with us. When we have done significant work to heal ourselves, we are now ready to venture out into the world and explore what community is all about.
When we are invited to learn about a community, it is our responsibility to learn, adapt and grow. There are four seasons and each season brings with it many challenges and learning opportunities. That is why it takes a full year to really get to know what the community is all about. Explore all aspects of the medicine wheel within the community, such as the land, buildings, earth, plants, animals, air, water, energy, waste recycling, collection, storage, ceremony, protocols, etc. This is an important aspect of the medicine wheel and is often where colonial constructs seep into the organization as the heart centric work has not been done. When intellect drives the process we will end up with colonized institutional type thinking within the community. But when we heal and allow spirit and our heart to guide the process, that is when our communities can be strong, vibrant, flexible and resilient.
After a year of exploring the community, learning and growing, the community then must gather within its Elder’s Circle (purple circle) and make a decision on whether to extend an invitation to invite people into their inner circle. This is a serious decision as it has a profound impact on the community as a whole. This whole process is allowing both sides to learn and grow with one another to make sure it is going to be a good fit. It may also mean suggesting that people explore other tribes or communities as the fit may be better suited with other groups.
I am in no position to dictate protocol, how communities are formed, built, etc. In fact, I suspect that when billions of us go through this protocol we will end up with millions of different types of solutions and that is a good thing to do. Our environment, ancestors, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, challenges, etc will all form different and unique solutions that we can share with one another openly on social media and other forums.
My new book: UNGRIP – A Sacred Transformation, will take the reader through this protocol as I’m writing my book to follow this idea. If people are willing and able to work with me, I am open to the challenge. This is not ‘my’ community or tribe. I am a facilitator to help people work through these protocols. I claim no ownership and refuse to have co-dependent relationships with people. I am looking for people willing to build their own independence and work on having a healthy, respectful and equal relationship with me and others within the group.
We will have dispute resolution protocols and other techniques to help people work through any challenges that may come up. That is the whole spirit and intent of the school. If this interests you, then you can sign up at the lowest level to start reading my book, at the Sacred Heart Circle level to start your heart centric journey, or as a student to really dig into the meat and potatoes of what it’s going to take to participate fully within a community and decolonize.
I fully suspect that when people do this work, our own communities and tribes will start to manifest naturally as spirit moves us to work together! Each of you will gravitate towards each other and your community and tribes will form organically, as they should! If this resonates with you, then I encourage you to join the school and lets get to work!
I am running a whole bunch of classes over the coming months to help with this process. I’ll be posting a calendar shortly! Please check in with me in a few days if the classes interest you. I was scheduled to go to Blood reserve to teach classes this spring, but due to the pandemic, that is off. So I’m going to do this work online instead.
In the Pacem Arts, knowing the difference between these two is significantly important. I’ve not read the book, but I am aware of the basic principles shared in David R. Hawkins book “Power vs Force”. It is a good first step to comprehending why we focus so much time and energy in the Sacred Heart Circle. The whole point is to heal ourselves so that we can start to embrace the higher levels of consciousness and not get trapped in the trauma, pain, fear, guilt and shame. We cannot build tribe or find peace unless we do this work first!
I duplicated the chart from Hawkin’s book Power vs Force to help students with their studies of these principles. I will also share muscle testing in the circles as this is something that I’m familiar with as I’ve done this type of self check for years.
While the original video that I found on Youtube sadly disappeared, this one comes close to describing the book at a high level. I encourage everyone to go through this video or even pick up the book and explore the significance behind the ideas being expressed here. In the end, this is just a tool and how we embrace these principles will help determine our progress as we Graduate Life with Honours and progress through the Pacem Arts. I do not endorse the author of this video, but agree with his assessment of the book.
As governments around the world continue to lock down their populations, fear seems to be the main weapon being used against the people. In Edmonton, police are stopping people and giving $1000 tickets to occupants of the vehicle if they have different addresses on their ID. People are being ticketed for walking by themselves in the park or being on the beach. This is not about a pandemic, this is about control, fear and tyranny.
Why are we in a position like this now? I would suggest that we have moved away from our nature and live life far beyond where we are supposed to be. We abandoned our tribal ways of life in exchange for being a herd. In the process we abandoned our duty within our tribe and asked that privileged people rule over us within that herd. As such, those leaders guide the herd as they see fit and the herd must follow.
We are then confronted with disease that sweeps through the herd. Disease is a natural event governed by natural law. Its design is to thin herds, especially the sick and weak. The scavengers and predators also prey upon the herd to help keep it moving and strong. But our herds don’t move. They sit in one spot, cities. As such, these herds end up consuming all the resources of that spot and must ship food and other materials in from the country side. They then consume and turn that one spot into toxic waste due to the accumulation of waste, pollution and other environmental issues.
Herds are supposed to be constantly on the move. Some tribes would follow the herds and as such are used to picking up camp and following the herds. But with our modern herds being in one location, these people want to move around, so they travel where ever they can. Some of us don’t like traveling. Our ancestral tribes remained relatively in the same spot, small and in harmony with our surrounding environment.
But people don’t live like that any more. We gave up our ancestral ways in favor of being in a herd and that causes sickness, tyranny, stress, anxiety and slavery. While we remain in herds, we will be farmed like cattle and only when we leave the herd and start rebuilding our ancestral tribes will we find health, freedom and peace.
This requires healing, learning, knowledge, experience, teachings, relationships, trust and spiritual family. This is not an easy path as most people want to bring their herd mentality into the tribe and that will not work. Colonization is a violent, abusive and brainwashing protocol to remove people from the tribe to integrate them into a herd. If we want to reverse that trend, we must find peaceful, loving, decolonization protocols to help people heal so that they can embrace their nature.
When we do that, the trauma will heal and we will find that we have time to spend with others. The stress will be significantly less as we find the tribe can support our needs while we participate in supporting the needs of others. Nobody gets left behind because the tribe is small enough where everyone is included, cared for and a valued member of the tribe. People can come and go if they choose, but protocol is important as this changes the dynamics of the tribe.
I’m exploring these protocols and relationships in my new book, which you can read here on my Patreon page. By healing ourselves, we are no longer manipulated or trapped by fear, the foundational weapon that tyrannical governments use to control people.
I don’t buy the story being spoon feed by media and government. I still see their end game being rolled out before our eyes and the majority of people support it. I don’t. I refuse to comply with their tyranny. I declare peace and I will govern myself so that I don’t fall into the war that is being played out. This is indeed war, World War III! This is not a war of bullets, yet. Instead, this is a war of ideas, control, manipulation, propaganda and tyranny. Their weapon is fear. They know people better than the people know themselves.
Heal thy self, that way fear can no longer control or manipulate oneself. They depend on traumatized people to want to be protected by a parent. The people are the children, the state is the parent. As long as people remain children, they state will feel obligated to parent them. However, when we heal and learn how to stand as adults, the relationship changes and that is how we can change the world. We do it by healing ourselves and taking on the duty to fully self-govern.
That requires that we provide supports around ourselves to accomplish that goal. We need to re-connect with our ancestral tribal structures. This too requires healthy individuals to start this journey. When the tribes get to a sufficient size, then the capacity to take on the sick, elderly, young, etc can be fully realized. We need to get moving on these ideas as the state will soon loose it’s capacity to look after those who are vulnerable. In fact, it is already starting as reports are coming in where staff are abandoning seniors residence resulting in dead bodies, feces and starving seniors (Montreal Gazette)
By practicing the Pacem Arts, we provide ourselves with the healing, tools and tribal protocols we all need to start returning to our home fires and building healthy relationships with those around us. We can then walk away from the battle field governed by the state and start to fix the foundational issues that have plagued mankind for thousands of years. I truly believe we are ready for this next evolutionary process in our consciousness. This requires Christ level consciousness and it is now time.
Join us in circle and go through the material that I’ve put up so far. I’m confident that when we surrender our violent ways and do the hard work to heal, that we can overcome what ever unfolds around us. Read my books if that helps too! Print them out and make notes along the way. I welcome those who want to surrender their old ways and explore what these new relationships may look like. I don’t have the answers as what will unfold will be co-created by us all. But I am willing to hold space for that creative process to unfold. I welcome it.
Peace, healing, good health and love to you all.
Note: The picture is from a tribe in Europe. Even our European ancestors lived as tribes before we too were colonized. Our indigenous brothers and sisters have a lot that they can teach us, if we are open to remember all that we lost through the trauma of colonization.
White Walking Feather lives in a self sufficient manner and requires very little money for his own needs, however, bringing you his journey and explorations at this crucial time in history requires technology which is made possible by your generosity.
White Walking Feather (aka rob in the page family) is an individual whom dedicates his time towards writing books, blogging, teaching and facilitating healing circles while doing his best to live off grid and explore his relationship with Mother Earth. Some people have also called him a knowledge keeper and an elder.
For the first 30+ years of his life, he struggled with depression, addictions and multiple suicide attempts. Despite numerous visits to psychiatric wards in the hospital, it was not until he hit rock bottom that he decided to surrender and try a new approach to life. It is this surrender that helped him heal, learn new communication skills and completely change his approach at life.
These new skills turned his life around and he found success in his IT career, managing projects and dedicating himself to training in the art of Tae Kwon Do where he reached 3rd Dan Black belt and ran his own school for a couple years. As a result of his healing journey, he realized in 2005 that his relationship with the state and other corporate entities was not healthy as they were extremely abusive and violent. This started him down a spiritual path to reconnect with Creator and Mother Earth. In 2007 he moved off grid with his family where they build earthships, gardens, a greenhouse and took every measure they could to be free, independent and healthy.
On April 15, 2008 he declared peace and refused to provide service to the Queen and her lords that control her feudal empire. Since then, he has been invited to speak at public events, online radio shows and was featured in Ben Steward’s third film UNGRIP. He has written a book, released in 2015 and is currently in the middle of writing his second one. For years he has also shared his thoughts freely on social media and blogs. In late 2019 he decided to open up a school as he recognized there are no well rounded training methods to help people navigate the complex web of lies and deceit that surrounds modern social constructs. As a result, the Pacem Arts was created with the intent to utilize training methods learned through the Martial Arts but dedicated to the Pacem Arts instead.
