For years people have asked me how they can grow food without land and while living in the city. For years I have talked about building relationships and connecting with people who have land.
Not many are willing to make significant changes in their lives in order to do what it takes! I suspect it is fear and a lack of knowledge that keeps people stuck. So ironically, I find myself in a situation this year where I have no land and I’m confronted with growing food during a period where food shortages are a clear and present danger for the majority if people.
What did I do? I I built relationships and approached people who have land. I’m working with two families this year and spending a lot of time on these relationships. I’m also helping both of them as they did not have gardens and was not sure how to proceed. So in exchange of sharing the food, I’m teaching them how to garden.
The picture above is the garden here in town which was nothing but a lawn about 6 weeks ago. It is about 1000 square feet, taking up the majority if the back yard. The other family owns an acreage out of town and they now have a 2000+ square foot garden as well (third picture).
In both of these gardens we have about 1100 hills of potatoes (total), carrots, peas, lettuce, cucumbers, dill, beats, radish, sunflowers, spinach, turnip, zucchini, pumpkin, onions and a few other plants. On top of that, I am teaching them how to harvest wild foods as there is plenty of that growing around, available for anybody to harvest.
I’m harvesting food for me and others through a win/win relationship with multiple families, all while having no land of my own to steward. Teaching others how to steward is proving to be rewarding as well. Having two gardens is also spreading the risk as the failure of one garden due to hail or other natural events does not mean 100% failure of our crops. I’m rather enjoying this approach.
If you live in the city or a small town, have no land and still want to grow your own food, there is plenty of opportunities to do that! Get out there, get your hands dirty and let’s get to work. There is no reason why people should go hungry. That duty and responsibility is up to the individual. For those that have the ability and will, our duty is to then feed those that do not have the ability and confront those who lack the will!
All of this requires the capacity to build healthy relationships with other people, with Mother Earth and the knowledge helps too! The knowledge is out there, being shared by people all over the world. What most people are missing is the courage to reach out to other people, talk to them and work on building relationships so that they can share with one another. The Pacem Arts can help people heal and practice what it takes to build those relationships.
I pray that my example here inspires others to do the same. It is VERY possible to be food independent without owning land. There are people out there wanting to learn and share. Be creative! There is literally food all around us. People die of starvation in a sea of food. What we are lacking is the knowledge, will and ability to see it for what it is. We have been hoodwinked into thinking that only that which we find in a store is actually food. That context is absolutely false. Expanding our palette and minds, we will find food all around us and be able to harvest it, store it and nourish our bodies when others are starving. We are then in a position to help them and ensure nobody goes hungry, especially when the food system collapses and the financial system melts down.
It is not even July yet and we are eating out of the garden and preserving food for winter for two families!!! Doing what it takes!
Dear Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Premier Kenny, Minister LaGrange & Minister Shandro:
I wave my right to be represented as a person. I owe no service or allegiance as I am not a serf, citizen or a subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen in Right of Alberta or The Queen in Right of Canada. Instead, I AM that I AM and I write to you as a spiritual ambassador as my master is Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. My expression today is out of love, compassion, empathy and peace as I have deep concerns with the protocols and approach that I have witnessed over the past months and years.
As you all know, the duty of the government is to govern the ‘public’ and balance that with the rights of citizens, their privacy and sovereignty over their bodies and homes. Some of you even swore an oath and are governed by a code of ethics and professional conduct, which I question whether you are upholding it or not. When I reflect on the protocols that you are all proposing people use to return to work, educate their children, reconnect with loved ones and end the social distancing imposed by this government, I find myself deeply concerned and troubled by what I find, especially the protocols for children when they return to school. Those protocols are abusive to children and completely disregard the foundational needs that they and everyone else has: touch, social interaction & love.
This government has also passed legislation that violates the very principles of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but also the foundational spiritual principles of love, compassion, empathy, peace and prosperity for all, reflecting a questionable moral and ethical foundation for decision making. I suspect others will challenge you all on the legal aspects, so I will instead address the moral and ethical issues that I see.
Let us not forget that we are spiritual beings of love. We were created in the image of God (Gen 1:27) and God is Love (1 John 4:16). We are love and we need love in order to survive and thrive on this planet. It is so important to us that it even superceids nourishment in regards to importance and foundational structures of life. I draw your attention to Harry Harlow’s experiment on infant monkeys In the 1960’s, experiments on new born babies performed by German King Frederick II performed in the 13th Century, experiments on new born babies performed in 1944 in the US as well as experiments performed on children in Residential Schools for decades here in Canada.
We literally cannot survive without touch, love, compassion and social interaction. Love is the foundation of Spirit and our capacity to live here. While it may not be a consideration within your political, medical or scientific protocols, it is indeed the foundation of life and must never be compromised in anything that we do, EVER! Babies literally wither away and die without touch, love, snuggles, encouraging words from loved ones, etc. Our youth manifest aggression, frustration, autistic type tendencies and other behaviours as a result of a lack of touch, whether that be from other students, family, friends or mentors.
What you are currently proposing for school protocols is nothing short of child abuse.
People literally thrive in an environment of love and this must never be ignored or downplayed, even in the midst of a ‘pandemic’, whether real or contrived. “Anything that promotes feelings of love and intimacy is healing; anything that promotes isolation, separation, loneliness, loss, hostility, anger, cynicism, depression, alienation, and related feelings often leads to suffering, disease, and premature death from all causes” (Dean Ornish, Love and Survival, p. 29).
You have no right to harm one group of people in order to protect another group. Your duty is to protect the PUBLIC from harm and the moment you deviate from that duty, or focus on a segment of the public, you violate your oath and mandate. Let us not forget, the public is an inherently dangerous place and each individual has a duty to protect themselves when entering the public and ensure they do no harm when there. This is where your duty rests, to help each individual to take personal responsibility for themselves and mitigate risk to others when in public. That is all! You have no mandate to do harm to people should they enter the public, period. Your job is to protect the vulnerable, all the vulnerable and not to do harm to them. Anything else is discrimination, much like what has been done to the Indigenous and other people of color! You cannot harm one group of vulnerable people in order to protect another. This requires a level of creativity measured against compassion, empathy and love in order to find solutions to problems. Violence, coercion, threats and other state tools are not love and in fact violate spirit in every way!
Social distancing is a medical procedure and must be governed as such using informed consent!
I question the motivation for declaring the pandemic emergency a few months ago. I question the numbers that came out of this ‘pandemic’. I question the bills that were passed that infringe on the Charter and violate the moral & ethical foundations of love. I question the protocols that are being proposed to get people back to work, addressing the food issues that manifested or how dependent on the state that people have become.
Your mandate should be to teach people how to be completely independent, self-governing, how to mitigate risk, connect with Mother Earth and walk the path of peace. That cannot happen while you all are dictating how people should live, interact or engage with the public or the government. You all know what YOUR courts say about ‘informed consent’ and especially when it comes to medical procedures. How many people getting tested or treated through this state of emergency are receiving unredacted, full disclosure prior to being swabbed or engaging with the medical system? How many people are informed that they can refuse a medical procedure at any time? Has anybody contemplated that social distancing is a medical procedure and should also fall under the protocol of ‘informed consent’? Now that the public health emergency is over, how do you propose to justify the continued protocols for medical procedures against an uninformed public? How do you justify continuing these medical procedures without giving people ALL the information so that they can make an informed choice or inform them that they can say no at any time? How do you justify using implied consent and ignorance against the people? How do you justify harming people in the process?
ALL life is sacred. Death is also sacred. I’ve seen reports of people dying all by themselves, which is the most appalling and morally corrupt manifesting of your protocols throughout this ’emergency’. I rebuke you all on your violence. Make no mistake about it, the state can only accomplish things as a result of authority backed by violence and coercion. I implore you to contemplate peace and love as an alternative. It may be harder, but the spiritual implications are profound. The human species has drifted away from love and peace as most people embrace war, authority and violence in order to control others and dictate the social narrative of life.
It is time that we make the effort to heal our hearts so that we can learn how to love, be compassionate and empathize with ALL of our brothers and sisters. It is time to end the discrimination that dictates policy and walk away from the desire to dictate how others should live. Your actions during this pandemic has scared people beyond belief and the covert & overt violence that is unfolding is a manifestation of your policies.
Love demands that we heal ourselves and hold space for others to do the same. Love does not use force, coercion or use authority over others. Love teaches, peacefully confronts, supports one another, engages with empathy, patience, compassion and forgiveness. I forgive you for the approach you all took during this event. That does not negate your responsibility and duty! I ask that you look within your heart, ask yourself the tough questions and explore the moral and ethical foundations of the decisions you are currently making.
While the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, the needs of the one also outweighs the needs of the many. Both are valid and a balance must be found. This whole pandemic approach has failed miserably to find that balance. Fear has gripped control over love, compassion and empathy. We must never allow that to happen. I pray to the Creator to soften your hearts so that you can allow love to help you make balanced, loving decisions within your mandates, but also within your own personal lives.
We are at a turning point in our lives where we are all being confronted with how we behave and interact with one another. We can choose war, violence, authority, greed and state governance or we can choose peace, love, freedom, self-governance, healing, compassion and empathy. The choice is up to each individual and I hope you find within yourselves the capacity to reflect on the outcomes of each and every decision you make or fail to make. The vast majority of people are completely dependent upon you and seem to support your governance of them. As such, you are responsible until they find within themselves to accept personal responsibility and accountability for their own lives. Until then, your duty is to hold space to teach them how to do that. You are NOT supposed to encourage dependency, but rather independence within the feudal serfs that you govern. I ask that you govern yourselves accordingly with peace and love.
Peace to you all.
I AM that I AM My Spirit name is White Walking Feather My vessels name is rob and it was born in the pagé family I AM a headman for my ancestral White Tribe rooted in the Quercy region of France I AM a co-steward of this land with my Treaty 6 brothers and sisters I declared peace in 2008!
For nearly 20 years I’ve worked hard to walk a path of integrity. The previous 30+ years was wrote with covert violent behaviours, lying, addictions, depression, suicide attempts, numerous stays in hospital and other traumas that I fully disclosed and shared in my books, writings, etc.
The other thing that I shared was how hard I had to work to walk a path of peace in order to demonstrate that I am a changed man. I did that work because that is what is required in order to build trust, especially with people who have been victimized by violence and / or abuse. It took YEARS of work and walking the path in order to demonstrate that I have changed and that I’m not going to resort to my old violent ways.
Sometimes I make mistakes, but I work hard to remedy those mistakes!
It has come to my attention that my separation from my wife of 25 years may have irreparably tarnished my reputation and integrity to hold space for those wanting to learn the Pacem Arts, heal and decolonize. I’ve also been informed by my dear friends that I may not be explaining what happened properly and as such I’m being misunderstood.
In order for me to explain what happened, I must first explain my boundaries. Please permit me to use an example. Many alcoholics must refrain from drinking in order to help themselves heal from their addiction. Any temptation of alcohol around them is often painful, stressful and highly triggering. People who support the alcoholics will do what they can to avoid drinking around them in order to help them heal.
Being a reformed abuser, I’ve had to set boundaries to avoid abuse and violence, much in the same way alcoholics do with their addictions. I’ve worked hard to take a zero tolerance stance with abuse because I had to in order to maintain my own health and well being. Violence and abuse highly triggers me. I feel pain, anxiety and extreme discomfort when people engage in abusive behaviour. The problem I have is that most people engage in abusive behaviour.
Much like an ex-alcoholic, I’m sensitive and I work hard to find ways to heal and cope with the behaviours of others so that I don’t engage in those behaviours myself. I do that by confronting them and seeing if they are able and willing to heal so that they no longer engage in the violence. Most people are not. So I walk away, doing my best to remove myself from the violence.
I’ve gone to the point of even removing myself from the government and corporations as those relationships are abusive as well. This is NOT an easy path to walk, but I’ve gone to extreme lengths to walk this path as my health and well being is extremely important to me and my relationships with those who fully comprehend the scope of this work that I do.
Many people don’t comprehend and as such they rebuke me with accusations that I throw away relationships far too easily, without realizing that my boundaries are there to protect myself and others. I end relationships because I don’t want to be abusive or violent but also abused either. I take a zero tolerance approach as my own health and well being depends on it and so does the salvation of my spirit! My resolve to walk this path is most likely beyond the comprehension of most people, including my ex-wife.
This caused great conflict between my ex-wife and I. She asked me to compromise my firm boundaries in order to maintain some level of relationships with those that she valued. She felt caught in the middle between me and others as I often refused to have a relationship with them. This caused great stress and anxiety within her and our relationship. So much so, that we were unable to find a remedy. As a result, she asked me to leave.
I willfully left and left almost everything with her as my love for her is absolute and the last thing I wanted to do is cause her pain and suffering. If I compromised my own boundaries, I have no doubt that I would have resorted to further violence and started going down a path that I absolutely refused to go. I’ve been down that path and it is dark, ugly, painful and downright violent. The most peaceful solution was to remove myself from the situation. I also walked away from the land that I spent 14 years building and developing. I left it all to her because I built it for her and my sons.
I’ve worked hard to be fully transparent and blunt about my journey in life. I’m no guru and I make no claims to know it all or be an expert of any kind. I share my journey and my story in the hopes that I can influence others to chose a path of peace, healing and freedom. While my life may seem extreme, in many ways it is. What I do well is hold space for others to do the same. I work hard to build trust so that people can feel safe to be vulnerable and do their work to heal.
I’ve witnessed many miracles over the years and I know that I make a difference. However, I am not for everyone. I am blunt, open and unyielding when it comes to honour, integrity, peace, freedom, prosperity and love. I am equally unyielding when it comes to violence, coercion, greed, war, theft and other violent behaviours, whether done overtly or covertly.
I am no saint or angel either. If you are looking for a professional teacher or therapist with pieces of paper on the wall, then you are in the wrong place. I hold space within this school for people who are serious about peace, healing and freedom. We all have trauma to heal, including myself. The group here is more than willing to help hold space so that we can do that work.
Make no mistake, this is work. Much like the martial arts, we do things over and over again, using repetition to help us learn and heal. People come and go, depending on their needs. Sometimes class is empty, often times it is full. Healing, peace and freedom is the primary goal.
What I do know is that this work will manifest beautiful things that was never designed or intended. Much like the martial arts, after years of training, a spiritual enlightenment starts to manifest within the student. I have no doubt the same will occur within the Pacem Arts as well. What that looks like is completely up to each individual student.
I trust that Spirit will guide that process and as such, I focus on the mechanics of healing, peace and freedom. I trust Spirit will help guide us on the spiritual and tribal manifestations that we are all searching for within our lives. I’ve learned a lot through this process already, now that the school has been up and running for seven months. We are young yet, but for those willing to take that leap of faith, I have no doubt that we will get there. Where are we going? I have no idea, but I trust in Creator to guide us along the way. It is the journey that I’m interested in, not the destination.
If this does not resonate with you, then you are welcome to find others to walk your path with. I will not apologize for being me, having firm boundaries and doing what I need to do in order to maintain my own health and integrity.

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.
Due to the decolonization efforts of White Walking Feather, automated commerce is not possible. However, through the support of a friend, funds can currently be received through manual e-transfer by sending your payment to
white.walking.feather@gmail.com
Risks involved: This function may go away if the state or bank changes their policy or implements the mark.
Due to decolonization efforts of White Walking Feather, it is not possible to use the automated business commerce functions of PayPal. As a result, we are limited to personal gifts sent through PayPal, send to
white.walking.feather@gmail.com
Risks: The potential for PayPal to lock the account is present due to continued changes in financial and government regulations as a result of the globalization efforts and roll out of the mark and social credit scoring systems.
In an effort to decolonize our relationship with money, we are exploring alternatives like decentralized and distributed cryptocurrencies. We currently accept Bitcoin (address below), Steem (@wwf) and Hive (@wwf). As interest increases, we will welcome other decentralized and distributed crypto’s as well.
Risks: Central banks are getting into the Crypto game and we refuse to participate in their solutions. This arena is technical and complex, so there are barriers. Also requires government ID to create accounts on exchanges to convert fiat currency to crypto.
Precious Metals have been used as a currency for thousands of years. Most people comprehend the intrinsic value. The challenge is shipping metal which has additional costs. Regardless, this is an option and any gold or silver can be sent to:
White Walking Feather In Care Of PO Box 384 Larder lake, ON P0K 1L0
Risks: There is the potential that the postal service will lose the parcel. Availability of precious metals is also low due to recent events.
Here is a list of resources where you can purchase and trade precious metals: Kitco Metals (includes directory of local dealers accross Canada)
Silver Gold Bull Apmex Sprott Money
Precious metals are traded around the clock on international markets. The price you pay for physical metals at a commercial dealer will be based on this price but will include a premium which allows dealers to make a living and will often be reflective of the availability of the product you are requesting.
Here are charts of the spot prices of Silver and Gold.
For many people, physical cash is the only way to go. The challenge of running a website accessible by people all around the world is the physical transportation. Snail mail is still a valid option and cash payments (CDN or USD) can be sent to:
White Walking Feather In Care Of PO Box 384 Larder lake, ON P0K 1L0
Risks: There is the potential that the postal service will lose the parcel. Availability of cash will also disappear when banking institutions move to a cashless society. This option may not be viable for much longer.
There still remains some anonymous methods through gift cards and pre-paid credit cards. Gift cards that are currently acceptable is: Peavey Mart, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Rona, Independent grocery store (President Choice). Pre-paid credit cards are also accepted. We are currently looking into a pre-paid card that can be loaded from anywhere. Until then, gift and credit cards (CDN) can be sent to:
White Walking Feather In Care Of PO Box 384 Larder lake, ON P0K 1L0
Risks: There is the potential that the postal service will lose the parcel. Vendors may lock out the cards without notice. Difficult to support local vendors using gift cards issued by large corporations.
Barter is an ancient tribal custom that has been around for thousands of years. The challenge with barter is it requires more effort to facilitate the exchange and the things one individual has, may not be what the other needs. Please write to white.walking.feather@gmail.com for an updated list of needs that you can choose from. We can then make arrangements to complete the transaction.
Risks: Takes time to complete the trade. Barter often deals with commodities which are hard to transport. Needs are shifting over time, so the list of needs is constantly changing.
Fiat Currency issued by Central Banks are a monopoly and we need competition. We are currently exploring www.community-exchange.org as one of many other alternatives that we can use to facilitate exchange with one another that provides alternative currencies that we can use. If you have other suggestions, we are open to exploring them as well.
Risks: Challenging for people to let go of their dependency on their idea of “money”. Currently there is a low participation rate with alternatives. Governments hate competition, so there is a risk that the alternatives will be attacked.
Training in the Pacem Arts can be challenging physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is unlike most other training any of us has done before. As such, it require that each individual accept 100% responsibility and accountability for themselves when engaging in this training. Violence, whether covert or overt, will not be tolerated.
It is also important to know that I AM NOT a lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, therapist, psychiatrist, medical doctor, agent, employee, citizen, slave, serf, person or any other word descriptive of any title, profession or expert. I AM that I AM and I wave my right to be represented as a person or any of these terms defined by others or the state. Everything shared on this site is me sharing my own experiences with you. I encourage everyone to do their own research, apply critical thinking and that you make up your own mind. The Pacem Arts is all about accepting 100% responsibility and accountability for ones life and forgiving others should mistakes be made or a trespass has occurred. That starts here. Participating in the Pacem Arts requires that each individual acknowledge these boundaries and hold themselves and others to the highest standards of love, peace, freedom, prosperity, ethics and morality.
As in the martial arts, there are specific boundaries and protocols in place to ensure we don’t hurt one another. The knowledge obtained here, if used without spiritual guidance and awareness or emotional health and intellectual integrity, can cause harm to you or others. There is also risks involved as we challenge those who claim authority over us. They can be unpredictable, but with healthy work in the Pacem Arts, these risks can be significantly mitigated. This work requires physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance, awareness, health and integrity. Anger, frustration, revenge, greed, lust for power, control or other colonial works of the flesh or violent behaviours have no place within the Pacem Arts. That sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and strict boundaries are in place to confront those who attempt to engage in those sort of behaviours.
About White Walking Feather
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.
