Land Sovereignty – Emancipation of the Land from the Demesne of the Crown

Posted on July 29, 2022 by White Walking Feather

When I received my spirit name and white eagle feather from the nehewin elder in Treaty 6 territory, the elder shared some profound words with me that night. He told me that I AM the land! That hit me hard and the implications of that simple statement has influenced my work ever since. While I acknowledge that I was working on challenging the Crown on it’s claims over the land, this one statement from an elder shifted my approach significantly.

I started exploring removing land from the demesne of the Crown back in 2020, a few months after I left the land due to my marriage falling apart. I knew that without a person I would not be able to buy land and there is no way I wanted to rent. All of those options were for the feudal serfs, so I had to find another way to support myself. That could only be done by returning to the land. However, I also needed the support of a tribe to do this work. It was also critical that the tribe comprehended and supported that work too. Through the invitation of a dear friend in Ontario, I received that support. After a season of healing, I stood ready to return to the land to restore my own sovereignty and the only way to do that was to free the land as well.

If the elder is correct and I AM the land, then I cannot be free and sovereign until the land is free and sovereign. The Crown’s claim on the land had to be confronted and challenged. In this post I will outline the basic strategy that I took to accomplish this and I will share the details on the private side of this site.

Who AM I?

I invested the last 20+ years trying to answer this question and even wrote the book “Graduating Life with Honours” about the journey too. You can download and read the book from this site. I cannot express enough how important it is that I figure out this question, but more importantly who I am NOT. This is where most people get hung up on comprehending or applying what I speak about in my work. Lots of people are figuring out that they are spiritual beings having a physical experience, but they still hold onto their fictional constructs and function as a feudal serf for reasons to numerous to share here. I believe in my heart, mind, body and spirit that this work requires that we emancipate ourselves from the Crown in order to walk this path. Doing this work while still a feudal serf only results in significant problems.

Know thyself, but also take action on what is known. I emancipated myself from the Crown in April 2008. I celebrated my 16th independence day a few months ago and it is only fitting that this celebration culminate in efforts to emancipate the land. I did this work standing as a Spiritual being in spiritual jurisdiction rather than a man standing as a citizen, slave and feudal serf. I’ve written at length how I did this, but it does require a foundational shift in thought, belief and action!

Burden rests with those who are making the claims

I’ve also written about how important it is to be peaceful. When I emancipated myself in 2008, the key action I took was to walk off the battle field and declare peace. That also required that I maintain the peace at all times. To do that I found a passage in scripture that helps me do that.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. – Matthew 5:25

If I’m always agreeing with people, then there is no fight, no battle. But how do I do that and maintain my own boundaries and confront wickedness? The good news is that in “their” system, the one making the claims is the one that has the burden of proof. So I agree with their claims, but then I put a condition on that agreement. If they can prove their claims, then I will agree AND I provide the burden of proof that needs to be met. This is where research, knowledge and wisdom is applied. Because I’ve spent the last 17 years researching and studying their system, I know what they can or cannot do. So I agree with them and then ask them to prove their claims while outlining the burden. Every time I’ve done this I’ve found instances where they violated statutes, regulations and even violated spiritual law as well. The only reason they get away with what they do is because people like you and I don’t know any different. But when we educate ourselves, we can stand up and testify to what we are witnessing. That is our duty, so I fulfill that duty through conditional acceptance of their claims. I’ve used this approach for years.

Demesne created through genocide, war and lies

Knowing that the Crown came to Turtle Island with the authority to conquer land granted to them by the Pope is an important first step. Studying the Doctrine of Discovery will bring some important points to testify against within the conditional acceptance. It is also important to study the treaties, not only the written versions made by the Crown but also the spoken versions shared by the nations of Turtle Island. There is a huge disparity between the two and it is the dishonour of the Crown that violated those treaties. This all ripples down into more and more detail as the land patents that were issued by the Crown to certify the legitimacy of the title over the land ends up being a fraud as a result of the Crown dishonouring the treaties. If the land patents are not legitimate, then any Fee Simple Tenures that people hold for their private land are also illegitimate, but also the claims the Crown has over “Crown Land”. Their violence, dishonour, greed, lies and deceit are their undoing. All that is required is for us to stand up and confront them on it all.

As a result, I’ve studied history, treaties and also the individuals who negotiated the treaties. Those individuals were all paid bonuses for getting the treaties signed, also had conflict of interest as they profited from the process, lied, cheated and manipulated their way through this whole process. They did not maintain the honour of the Crown and engaged in genocide to meet their objectives. While it may have been viewed as appropriate at the time, it is time to right the wrongs and confront the whole system as it is based on a foundation of wickedness. All individuals who represent the Crown in their duties are subject to this level of scrutiny. It is up to each of us to apply that scrutiny. This is done by placing the burden on each of them to prove that they can actually act in dishonour, engage in genocide, lie, cheat, manipulate, steal or engage in actions and behaviours that violate Natural Law; The Law of Love!

Decolonization

The Crown has engaged in colonization for over a thousand years. My ancestors were some of the first to be colonized and is the reason why the colonial system looks ‘white’. But the colonial system is not a color, race or creed, it is an idea, philosophy and a system of control, greed and power, all designed to harvest souls. We are at the stage now where souls are starting to be harvested. The time is now to decolonize ourselves so that we can confront the wickedness that is taking over this world.

The decolonization process is more than removing ourselves from the system. Decolonization requires a foundational shift in thinking, behaving and believing. The colonization process was brutal and violent. The white tribes don’t remember what happened to our ancestors when we were colonized. But the red tribes do remember and it is wise for us to take note of what happened to them over the past few hundred years and acknowledge that this happened to our ancestors too. The multi-generational trauma runs deep and there is a tremendous amount of healing required to decolonize. It changes EVERYTHING!!! I’ve been on this journey for nearly two decades and I’m still healing and decolonizing. I trust the younger generations will have a quicker and easier time of this, but for me it has been a brutal journey that will most likely span the rest of my life.

Why is this so important? Because I’ve found over the years, over and over again, people wanting to leave the system but implement rules and regulations to create a new system – one that functions exactly like the system they just left. If we don’t decolonize we end up getting stuck in a cycle and is the reason why revolution after revolution does not solve the problem. It is because we keep recreating the same systems, surrender our sovereignty to that system and enslaving ourselves. Decolonization requires that we heal so that we can hold the charge of being sovereign, independent and free. It feels like there is no safety and security in doing that, but I’m finding it is more safe and secure than being a citizen, subject, member of a society, etc. There is no documents, paperwork or identification when we decolonize. There is no constitution, rules, regulations, etc when we emancipate ourselves. So how do we navigate relationships, conflict or other challenges? That is what this school is all about, to explore those questions and figure it out through exploration of relationships, love, healing and ceremony.

Land Sovereignty Ceremony

Last summer I located some Crown land and went out, found a location to establish my home fire and built my medicine wheel. Details of that have been shared already on this site. I started a garden and this spring I expanded it even further. Work started on my underground shelter and I’ve continued that work this season as well. In June 2022 I sent out my first letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Governor General of Canada, Prime Minister and others. In it I conditionally accepted their claim over the land and asked them to prove their claims in order for the conditions to be removed. I gave them 10 days to respond. After a few weeks I was not in receipt of any response, let alone a valid response from them. I then sent out a notice of default along with a list of facts. I gave them another 10 days to respond and if they failed to respond, then they would be agreeing through tacit acceptance to the facts listed in the notice of default.

I did not receive any response or valid response from them. At this point many people would then send out a default judgement, but I decided to take a very different approach. Instead I sent out an invitation to participate in ceremony. I setup two ceremonies, the first at the full moon in July and the second during the new moon in July. The first full moon ceremony was to focus on forgiveness, reconciliation and shedding of the old. The second ceremony would focus on bringing in the new, acknowledgement of the sovereignty of the land, our relationship with her and our duty to provide and protect her. The invitations when out and nobody from the Crown showed up to participate, receive forgiveness, healing, etc. The tribe here did participate and through these efforts, I find myself standing as a member of the White Tribes working to decolonize, reconcile our relationship with the land and present ourselves in proper standing within Spiritual Jurisdiction. I feel confident now that I can accept invitations from the Red Tribes to participate in lodge and continue the reconciliation process between our two tribes.

There is now 78 acres of land that is sovereign. This little piece of heaven is called Silent Dancer and I make no claims of ownership over her. I AM a part of her and she is a part of me. My kin, the plants, animals, soil, water and air are a part of the land as I AM. They all help provide for my needs; water, food, shelter and hopefully over time, clothing. My duty is to be a steward, to protect her and help ALL my kin to not only survive but thrive. I own nothing. I make no claims of ownership. My sovereignty is a part of her sovereignty. Now comes the process of continuing the decolonization process to figure out what life is like from this paradigm. Living life in this way is VERY different than the colonial way. The shift between the two is massive. In my experience few will be able to make the shift. But it is important that people do as I believe this is our own spiritual salvation from the system. The colonial system is the system of the beast! It is not broken. It is functioning exactly as designed. It is harvesting souls now and we need to return to our nature or face the harvest. This requires physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing, growth, learning and remembering. This is challenging work. I’ve seen many attempt but few succeed. Why? Perhaps something to discuss in another post.

Next Steps

The details of this journey will be shared in the private side of the website. Lots to discuss but also lots that have already been shared. What I will cover is not new, but will be shared in a way to help people see the step by step process that I took. So far the Crown is leaving me alone and that is all that I want from them. If they show up, I will share updates. It is my experience that they will leave me alone because I’m doing this all from a higher authority and jurisdiction than where they function from. It is my dream to establish islands of sovereign land so that people have a place to establish their own kin domains so that people can return to the land and find peace, sovereignty, prosperity and love. This is how we bring Heaven to Earth and starve the beast at the same time. The beast can only thrive when we feed it. We stop feeding it, it will wither away and die. We don’t have to fight it, go to war or anything like that. We end the war by walking off the battle field and stop participating in the conflict. We end the war by declaring peace!

Protocol when asking of others

Posted on November 1, 2021 by White Walking Feather

Years ago I watched a video from the floor of the US House of Representatives. In that video one representative was asking questions of another and I was struck by the protocol they were using. The one representative would stand up and ask if the gentleman would grant permission for him to ask two questions. The other representative then stood up and granted permission, at which point the first representative then posed his questions.

I know that these protocols were established to acknowledge the sovereignty of each ‘gentleman’ or ‘gentlewoman’ in the house. What struck me though is that even asking a question without permission would be a violation of someones sovereignty. How far have we come where the social norm now is to not only ask questions but also demand or expect that those questions be answered or that people perform specific duties in response to those questions?

I found a similar protocol within the Floor Procedures in the U.S. House of Representatives. While this protocol is in regards to who can speak, it still highlights the profound protocols used to honour and respect the sovereignty of others.

“Once a Member has been recognized by the Speaker (or Chair) to speak, he controls the floor; in general, no other Member may speak without being granted permission to do so by the Member recognized. Another Member who wishes to speak will ask the recognized Member to yield by saying, �Will the gentleman yield to me ?” – Floor Procedures in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Years ago I was taught about the protocol of approaching an elder with tobacco and prints, depending on the scope of the questions or request being made. I was also reminded of this protocol a few weeks ago which has prompting this post. Many people view the tobacco and prints as a ‘gift’, but it is not that at all. What people don’t realize is that when we approach another with a question or request, we are asking them to accept a burden or duty that they currently do not carry. The tobacco and prints are medicine that they can use to help them work through that duty and burden, to bring balance to the one accepting that duty as it does require time, energy and other resources to fulfill. If the elder accepts, he now must go and spend time, pray or do what ever is required to fulfill the request, a burden and duty to fulfill!

This goes beyond the protocol that some tribes use when approaching their elders. What about the modern protocol where people feel free to ask questions of others, placing burdens or duties on them and then expect a specific level of performance or results. If those expectations are not met, shame and guilt is often used towards those who failed to meet those expectations. This modern protocol violates the sovereignty of others and normalizes violence and abuse towards others.

When we ask someone a question or ask for help, it requires that they invest time, energy and perhaps even resources to honour that request. Each of us, when receiving such requests, has a responsibility to ourselves to ensure that we seriously reflect on the request prior to accepting or denying it. Do we have the time, energy, resources, medicine, skills, knowledge, experience, protocol or even the physical, emotional, mental and / or spiritual health to take on such a duty or burden with integrity, honour and respect? Once we acknowledge that, it then helps us to then ‘see’ the other side when we approach someone else to ask them a question or ask for help. The current challenge is that most people have a hard time asking for help due to social shaming and guilt, which must be healed. Whether healed or not, if we can acknowledge that our request has a duty and / or burden attached to it, the weight of the request becomes greater. This then should trigger conscious contemplation on the request, question or interaction with others and how best to honour that interaction.

If we do our due diligence, reflect on our request to ensure that none of it can be done ourselves and fine tune it to minimize the burden on others, then we can identify the medicine required to accompany our request for help and ensure that we honour the time, energy, skills and abilities of those with whom we are approaching. It is important to note that if they say no, we must honour their position and not engage in shame, guilt or other violent manipulations to gain their agreement. If people are asking for help, then it is also our responsibility to carefully reflect and weigh the request to ensure that if we accept it, that we can fulfill that request to the best of our abilities. This duty to honour the request rests on both parties, not just one.

When we challenge the current socially accepted practices, many will see it as being disrespectful and selfish. This is an incorrect assessment as their views are expressed through their own ignorance of the energy and violence behind the current protocols. Bullies will lash out when they feel their power is threatened. When we take back our power and authority, the protocols around that must change as well, otherwise we are not free.

Upgrades to my Medicine Wheel

Posted on October 31, 2021 by White Walking Feather

I’ve struggled my whole life with feelings of abandonment, not feeling safe, anxiety, not feeling worthy and even feeling as an outsider. My life is riddled with trauma that had profound influences on how I saw myself and influenced my interactions with others. Through the help of a powerful medicine woman, I am going through a therapeutic protocol that bypasses the fictional and even the physical in order to heal all of that once and for all. This work takes me into the astral and even into the ethereal. I’ve spoken about how I felt that the next phase of healing must move into the spiritual realm and that the healing done here will manifest actual physical results. I can testify that this is a valid approach as I’ve witnessed some amazing results. Time will tell on how this all integrates into my life.

Meanwhile, we went through several exercises to help me ground this and it was done by using imagery that I can associate with, specifically my medicine wheel. So I want to share with you what my new medicine wheel looks like and why the upgrades were put in place. The healing journey is not complete, but the intent of this leg is to put to rest the patterns that have haunted me my whole life. Here is my medicine wheel, with upgrades!

I stand in the middle of my medicine wheel with my staff, in the integrity, power and authority of I AM. I AM sacred, so too is this space around me, so I upgrade my medicine wheel to help protect, nurture and express this sacredness.

I install a dome shield over my medicine wheel. It is energetic but also made of rubber. Any negative or hurtful comments or energy thrown at me bounces off and is accelerated instantly to the galactic core for transmutation and healing. When multiple attempts are made, they don’t even arrive. Only those with the energy that resonates or uplifts me is allowed to enter.

I then installed large horse shoe shaped magnets in each quadrant of the medicine wheel, pointed outwards. The magnets attract like energy to my medicine wheel, but also repel any energy that would do me harm or violate the sacredness of my medicine wheel or me, standing in the I AM. Anyone attracted to my medicine wheel will also have to pass through my dome shield, allowing resonating energy to pass but burning off, repelling or transmuting anything that does not resonate with this new sacred space that I created. I feel safe at all times within this medicine wheel. I am home here!

Within this space, I planted a garden. The seeds that I planted are: joy, peace, freedom, profound physical, emotional, mental and spiritual intimacy, love, contentment, safety and prosperity, with room for much more. My garden is like a jungle; colourful, vibrant, beautiful, heaven on earth. I reserve a special spot for ‘her’, a mighty throne built and tended with what grows in my garden. May she find comfort, safety and prosperity within my medicine wheel along with the will and ability to walk our paths together.

I laugh and laugh and laugh. I feel joy and contentment.

While this is a picture of a physical medicine wheel I built, what I shared above is centered in my heart and I carry it with me at all times. My medicine wheel transcends the fictional and even physical realms and is grounded in the Spiritual Realm which trumps anything physical or fictional.

Choosing a Path – Part 9

Posted on September 21, 2021 by White Walking Feather

Today we will hold our full moon and equinox ceremony as a tribe. It’s been a while since I’ve written as life here got busy due to the harvest rush to gather all we can before the snow flies. When living on the land, we must live within the cycles of nature, not the fictional cycles of man’s calendar and clocks. We live on bush time and that allows us to rest and relax when we want, but also demands that we work when needed. I continued to bring in fire wood for the tribe and have it nicely stacked for winter. But I also noticed that a couple within our tribe was at risk of not having their shelter built before winter. I shared that risk as mine has been delayed too.

I decided that it is within the tribes best interests if I stopped working on my built and helped them get their build done. By helping them I am also helping myself as they could move into their home and I could use the transport trailer converted into a shelter that they are currently in. So I get a shelter for winter by helping them build their shelter. That buys me some time to then finish my build in the spring. I’m okay with that and they appreciate the help too. Many tears where shared over the past number of weeks.

We also held the UNGRIP boot camp, which I’m now calling the UNGRIP Decolonization Ceremony. It was a full week of absolute magic, miracles, intimacy, connection, learning, healing and profound change for all involved. Tribes are built this way and to me that was very clear as nearly everyone will be returning to help with the next ceremony being held here October 4-8, 2021. People are returning to hold space, help facilitate, organize and do what ever it takes to help others have a wonderful experience and to help the tribe here as it is a daunting task doing this with just a few people.

What strikes me about what is starting to flow is how many people are suddenly interested in my work. This next ceremony was full weeks ago through word of mouth only. I have people contacting me wanting to get into the third one and I’ve not even held the second ceremony yet. Spirit requires motion and people are now starting to move and resonate with my teachings. This has been a long and lonely road for the last 16 years. It feels surreal and overwhelming to suddenly have such interest. Spirit is helping by forming a tribe around me able and willing to help as they also resonate and connect with the spirit of decolonization.

This is no longer about me. Actually, it never was about me. I shared my story in the hopes that people could relate to what I was saying, but this has always been about an idea. An idea shared for thousands of years but who’s time has come to be expressed and realized. This is about healing, reconciliation, decolonization, sovereignty, peace, freedom, prosperity, joy and love. This path is not easy but it has profound implications to our spiritual health and standing as well as the physical too!

This morning I woke up to another Liberal minority government in Canada. Saskatchewan has declared a state of emergency which gives them powers to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and many jurisdictions are implementing vaccine passports. The narrative in Canada continues to deteriorate with the support of the majority of people. Fear is a powerful weapon. I’ve been in the extreme minority for nearly 20 years as a result of my journey towards healing, freedom and balance between the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I’m used to having the majority rebuke or dismiss me. I will continue my work despite what others think. I don’t base my decisions on the opinions of others. I base my decisions on what my heart feels, spirit directs and my body & mind can accomplish.

Out of all my training, the phrase I learned from TaeKwonDo comes to mind clearly: Indomitable Spirit! This is the work that I’ve done for 20 years, to have a spirit that is impossible to subdue or defeat. Doubt and disbelief can trip one up quickly, as it has a few times in my life. But as I witness the deterioration of social order outside of my realm, it brings even higher resolve to hold space for an alternative. I care not what others thinks or say, I will continue to do my work because it feels right, spirit orchestrated it all and I’m willing to keep moving forward despite the attacks and violence.

I was told yesterday that when it comes to creating safe space for people, I ‘nailed it’. This observation hit my heart deeply and it came from someone that I love dearly. I pray that this knowledge and ability can spread quickly so that others can experience this type of peace and freedom to fully express the masculine and feminine energies that we need to heal, replenish this world and bring prosperity for ALL life on Mother Earth. May this tribe help spread this idea to home fires far and wide. I love you all. I really do!

One Flesh between sacred Masculine & Feminine

Posted on September 10, 2021 by White Walking Feather

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” – Gen 2:24

I’ve found in my life that intimacy exists in a wide variety of forms and can dive down into profoundly deep levels of our being. I’ve been exploring this over the past number of years and asking a lot of questions. Many mysteries remain, but I am confident that they will be revealed in time. What I’m starting to see though, is that exploring intimacy has a profound outcome that I did not comprehend before.

I’m going to use this medicine wheel to attempt to explain what I’m finding during this journey of self exploration and asking penetrating questions with those that are open to exploring this topic. If somebody asked me 10 years ago to define intimacy, my response would most likely have been sex. I grew up in an environment heavily influence with multi-media campaigns that used images of women to sell, sell, sell. The objectification of the female body was used to corrupt and mask what true intimacy was. If I took a look at the medicine wheel, intimacy was defined with a small part of the black / divine feminine part of the wheel.

A few years ago I realized how woefully ignorant I was. The emotional part of the wheel helps remind us that there are different levels of intimacy here too. I’ve also talked about intellectual and spiritual intimacy in the past to round out the four quadrants of the medicine wheel. However, there is more. If we meet somebody new, they approach us from outside of the wheel. There is little to no intimacy as both are strangers. The trick is to see who will take a risk to be vulnerable first and share something intimate to break the ice and draw them closer, into the medicine wheel. Physical intimacy may involve a hand shake or a quick hug. Mental intimacy may be generated through sharing of ideas that both resonate with. Perhaps they have a mutual experience in meditation or prayer circles that allows them to start to explore their relationship. What ever the initial interaction is, it allows for an invitation for each to step into the circle at various points around the perimeter.

The next step, if both are able and willing, is to increase the level of intimacy. We do this through healing circles, work, play, ceremonies and other activities. This type of relationship building requires that both individuals spend time and surrender some vulnerability in order to make that deeper connection with one another. At this point it does not matter if they are male or female as we are still at the platonic stage of the relationship, but exploring vulnerability through all four quadrants of the circle. Hugs may last for 30 seconds to several minutes, holding hands, massage, safe touching, sharing pain, fears and trauma for healing, discussing profound ideas for self improvement and peace, doing sweat lodges, ceremonies, prayers or other activities to reconnect to Creator, Mother Earth, self and each other. When we reach this level of intimacy, we connect as friends, tribe members and perhaps even family.

Notice that we have explored multiple levels of intimacy with multiple and diverse types without even reaching sex yet? Is it possible that many of us are actually intimacy deprived because we don’t acknowledge what intimacy is or how to get those needs met in a safe and loving way? I’ve known for a while that the healing work we do through the Pacem Arts has a specific purpose. When we take a leap of faith to be vulnerable enough to share our pain, trauma and fears, we not only start to heal, but we also built intimacy with the others that are holding space, doing it all at the same time.

But there is a limit to the amount of healing and platonic work that can be done with people in the circle. It is critical that we do this work first as the next phase will be sabotaged by triggers and unhealed shadows. This next phase requires an intimate partner, one who is doing his / her own work, willing to be completely vulnerable and feels safe going to a level of intimacy that few manage to reach. While sex is a part of this level of intimacy, there is much more to it and this is where the passage comes in that I quoted above.

This level of intimacy requires a level of conscious awareness in masculine and feminine energy, how to explore the union of that energy, how that energy flows through our bodies and the ability to be completely vulnerable so that we can surrender to that energy flow. Shadows, trauma, triggers, fear and other barriers will sabotage and prevent this level of connection from being obtained. It requires conscious effort to ensure that there is profound intimacy on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It may also require a lot of practice to reach this level of surrendered vulnerable intimacy. I suspect that when we reach this level, we become one and are introduced to Creator energy. This is spoken about as one flesh in scripture, which is very different than the lust or infatuation many feel when they get married. How many people go through profound healing work so that they are able and willing to meet their partner at such a profound and vulnerable state within their marriage? How many of us withdraw out of fear, refuse to talk due to pain, ignore triggers to not rock the boat? How many of us has been emasculated, dehumanized, suppressed, bullied or even violated, yet willing to be profoundly vulnerable in our relationships? While scripture speaks of ‘one flesh’ I question how many of us actually attain that level of intimacy in our relationships. To reach this level requires a tremendous amount of healing and integrity so that we can hold the charge that comes when we connect the sacred masculine with the sacred feminine. This powerful union generates tremendous power and will transform the two into something greater than the sum of the parts. It takes great strength and integrity on both sides to hold this charge.

I suspect that this work, when done in a healthy way, will trigger an evolutionary event that will transcend the two individuals involved. No man may break that apart as that transcendence invokes Spiritual Law and draws us into Heaven on Earth.

But what happens when we are in sexual relationships or marriages that has not done this work? The level of intimacy wains and we start to drift farther and farther away from the center of the medicine wheel. The one flesh dies and it is this point where the vows we utters when we get married comes to play. Many people said they are committed until death. I suggest that the death does not necessarily mean the passing of our vessel, but the death of the one flesh, the attempt to create the one body through the union.

Why do people get divorced or break up? The failure is usually due to a failure to maintain the profoundly vulnerable level of intimacy between the two. Pain, hurt feelings or other events bring up walls between the two and they start to drift from the middle of the wheel. It takes great effort to come back to the center in a balanced and centered way to restore the intimacy. But when we do, the one flesh lives and the union remains strong. The love deepens and our connection to Creator, spirit, Mother Earth, each other and self continues to grow and flourish. Life is born where we can truly LIVE and experience this existence together, as one.

But if the one flesh dies and cannot be resurrected due to the inability or unwillingness of one or both individuals, the union between the two ends, the level of intimacy deteriorates to the point where they are again strangers, seeing each other from outside of their respective circles. It is possible to reconcile those relationships, but it requires a monumental amount of time, effort, work and vulnerability to rebuild the trust lost through the breakdown.

There is no shame or guilt in this journey. Social stigma and dogma often associates guilt and shame to those who fail in their intimate relationships or marriages. The wars that manifest afterwards does not help. I’ve witnessed partners drifting apart due to intellectual differences, such as whether to remain a feudal serf or work towards freedom. Over the years I’ve seen many relationship fail as a result of a lack of intellectual intimacy caused by polarized ideas.

I can attest to these ideas as it was indeed pain and a withdraw of intimacy that caused the gap in my past relationships, whether that be with my ex-wife or others. Some of them were violent, so I set boundaries to cut them out of my life. Others were done peacefully and I still talk to them, share some level of intimacy and work to stay connected the best I can. I include my ex-wife in that last group. I still love her dearly, I forgive her, I ask for forgiveness and I miss her deeply. I also acknowledge the barriers that killed our attempt to reach one flesh. I think we did reach it on several occasions but unhealed trauma sabotaged the attempt. We are both healing and I’m confident that if either of us finds a willing and healthy partner, that it can be obtained.

The challenge with all death is that it hurts, a lot. There is a lot of pain associated with the death of the one flesh, marriage or even close intimate friends. The closer we get to the middle of the circle, the more vulnerable we surrender to be, the more pain there is when it dies. A healthy way to deal with that pain is to mourn the loss using healthy protocols and ceremonies. It helps us move through that pain rather than stuffing it and lashing out with war, venom and anger. Forgiveness is a powerful tool and I’ve used it very successfully in the past to help me make those transitions easier. This then helps me take the risks to surrender with complete vulnerability because I know deep down the huge benefits associated with taking that leap of faith. I’m not afraid of the pain any more. I also suspect that if we can successfully navigate this journey to the center of the medicine wheel and successfully birth and nurture a one flesh body to maturity with an intimate partner, there will be no more pain.

This is what I am looking for in my life. This is the work that I’m prepared to do with divine feminine who is able and willing to walk this path with me. The goal is to reach the middle of that medicine wheel, embrace Christ Level of Consciousness, the I AM and join with divine feminine to birth a new being, one flesh, manifested out of hard work, complete vulnerability, trust, faith, love and peace.

Does this resonate with you? Do you agree? Disagree? Perhaps it is worthy of discussion when I re-start the Decolonization Classes in a few weeks. Thoughts to ponder as summer wains and we enter into the fall harvest in preparation for winter.

Importance of Integrity

Posted on September 6, 2021 by White Walking Feather

Over the last few months I’ve been exploring the idea that there is a whole other level that we can explore within all our relationships. I’ve know for a while that intimacy within relationships is complex as it comes in many forms and degrees. We are bombarded with images and brainwashing techniques from marketing firms that sex equates to intimacy. While sex is one form of intimacy, it is not the only one as there are many others that got ignored or even buried during the colonization process.

To decolonize ourselves, I’m finding that it is critical that we dig up these other forms of intimacy and bring balance to them. From a high and basic level, there are four forms of intimacy which covers the four bodies; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Each of these have different levels or degrees of intimacy depending on the closeness of ones relationship with another.

Physical Intimacy is one that most of us can relate to as it is the one that has received the majority of our time and focus over the years. It is also the most corrupted as lust, rape, slavery and other behaviours desecrated the spirit of healthy physical intimacy. While most people would relate this to sex, I think we should start on the other end: touch!

When we were first born, touch becomes a critical need that we have in order to feel connected, loved, nourished and fulfilled. However, social pressures and other traumas often result in a lack of touch and physical intimacy needs not being met. I can testify to this one personally. We are, after all, social beings and touch is a powerful social act to express intimacy between two or more people. With complete strangers a hand shake may be all that is required. For acquaintances a simple hug may accomplish an acceptable and nourishing level of intimacy. Good friends may extend that hug to 20-30 seconds, rub shoulders, feet or engage in grooming activities. Really good friends and family often explore intimacy at the level of kissing while lovers move deeper into the physical intimacy with petting, massage, nakedness, physical vulnerability and sex.

One of the most common errors comes when we ignore the other forms of intimacy and depend on just physical intimacy to define our relationships. Men often struggle in this area as we have been brainwashed through social conditioning, media, porn and other forms to think that this is intimacy. If this is how we define intimacy then we are missing out on a whole new world and that would also explain why people struggle with relationships. To remedy this, it is important that we identify and work on the other forms of intimacy and bring balance to this whole aspect of relationships.

Emotional Intimacy can be a challenge, especially when trauma, shame, guilt and other manipulations are used to intimidate or condition people to avoid or ignore feelings. Emotional Intimacy can be explored when each individual takes a leap of faith and becomes vulnerable enough to share their feelings, shadows and struggles in life. It is more than that, but due to colonization, violence, trauma and other social or environmental conditions, this is typically a good place to start. By doing the shadow work, each individual can find a place where the shadows no longer trigger violent or abusive responses, but instead manifests healthy self exploration, questions and healthy space to further the work. This also involves different levels of intimacy in that total strangers can share a little bit of vulnerability to remain safe while still sharing and building connect. Friends or tribe members may share far more deeply so that they can hold space for one another to work through painful memories or experiences. Lovers have the ability to take this to the next level as the amount of trust and vulnerability to have deep intimate relationships is built through progressively showing vulnerability on deeper and deeper levels. When we get to a point where we feel safe to be completely vulnerable, no matter the topic or scenario, we find a profound level of emotional intimacy. What I’ve learned is that deep emotional intimacy can be reached between men and women without sex. Guys, this is the area that the majority of the ladies use to explore and evaluate health and trust in their relationships. Learning this has changed my life!

In the last few months I’ve started to realize that there are two others that are often ignored. Mental intimacy comes when we meet people who are able and willing to be vulnerable in the exploration of ideas. While the intellect has been high jacked by formalized learning institutions like universities, social media and other tools have opened up this area so that we can all participate. The problem is that false ego often gets in the way to sabotage the exchange. When we do the work to heal our shadows, we can then start to be vulnerable when challenging the ideas that we embrace in our lives. As Steven Covey said, we often spend time formulating a response to the other individual rather than actually listening to what they are saying. The act of critical thinking and active listening takes a lot of hard work and a level of vulnerability in order to reflect upon and contemplate ideas being shared by others. This too has multiple levels depending on how close or intimate the relationship is between those having these discussions.

The one area I found to be woefully neglected is spiritual intimacy. Organized religion has actively preempted this area and did so on purpose. The last thing the powerful oligarchs want is people being spiritually active and intimate with one another and with Mother Earth. Through my exploration of restoring my ancestral tribes and my relationship with Creator, I’ve found spiritual intimacy to be a core component. This is where I’m finding ceremony, meditation, prayer and other modalities to be powerful tools to help me build a level of intimacy with others but also with my environment, Mother Earth and Creator directly. It is very difficult to have a profound intimate relationship when third parties are providing commentary and responsible for the interpretation of spirit. This ends up being a profoundly personal and intimate aspect of relationships as acknowledging that everything is spirit makes our very actions and behaviours critical to ensure the ripples of thought, action and inaction moves forward gently and without harm.

This requires a profound level of consciousness in order to navigate these levels of intimacy. I’ve also realized that holding space in sacred heart circles can provide an amazing level of intimacy and healing, but it requires an intimate partner to move deeper into the healing. The goal is to heal and be vulnerable to the point where profound intimacy is obtained without shadows or triggers sabotaging the experience. Imagine being with someone and exploring physical, emotional, mental and spiritual intimacy all at the same time or within a span of a few hours or even within the full expression of the relationship through the years?

This is where integrity comes in. One big lesson I learned last night is that this requires a profound level of integrity in order to reach this level of intimacy and healing. Integrity requires a strong moral and ethical foundation to build trust strong enough for both masculine and feminine to completely surrender to the experience. How can either of them do that if they are distracted by multiple intimate relationships, engaged in violent behaviours, whether covert or overtly done, whether consciously or unconsciously expressed? When two people do their work, clean up their lives and walk a path of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual integrity, I believe we will start to tap into a level of intimacy that would transform and meld the two energies into one. When divine masculine and divine feminine have the integrity to reach this level of intimacy, the energy between the two start to flow stronger and stronger. That is when magic starts to happen and I am also wondering if that is when the Christ Consciousness starts to manifest here on Earth. I wonder if that is how we can start creating Heaven on Earth and is why spirit kept telling me that I cannot do this by myself. It is time that the masculine and feminine heal and step into a level of integrity and vulnerability so that they can navigate the changes that would come when this transformation event manifests. I wonder if that is what the powers that be are trying to ensure does not happen.

Either way, this is where I’m headed and am profoundly interested in exploring. As I work through these ideas, I’m finding new and better ways of explaining it so that the ideas can be shared with others. With integrity, we can step forward into this new world. The wonderful thing about it, is that the integrity is what may actually trigger the flow of energy and manifestation. We don’t need others or ourselves to pass judgment upon us, it is a vibration that is obtained by working on our healing so that we can hold the charge of integrity. When masculine and feminine obtain that level of integrity, magic will happen and it will exceed that which Christ himself was able to demonstrate. This is what I want in my life and that means it is completely up to me to walk my path with a Christ level of Consciousness but also a Christ level of integrity!

The Healing Dance between Masculine and Feminine

Posted on August 22, 2021 by White Walking Feather

I’ve been contemplating a lot about intimacy and the relationship between the masculine and feminine energies. Recently the men gathered together and we created a simple little ceremony to welcome the women during the last new moon ceremony. What I witnessed was beautiful, powerful and amazing. The ladies became animated, beaming and their movements turned fluid. It had a profound impact on the relationship between the men and women.

I’ve been exploring what intimacy actually is, but this experience has taken me on a whole new level of reflection. A few years ago I discovered that there is a big difference between emotional and physical intimacy. For most of my life I associated both as being one and the same. The problem is that when a woman was looking for emotional intimacy, I struggled because I associated that to sex and that caused all kinds of problems for me. I’m grateful that I was able to overcome that glaring oversight as I now realize that there is a profound difference between the two.

What I see now is that there are multiple kinds of intimacy with a wide range of levels. If we visit the medicine wheel, we are reminded of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. When speaking of physical intimacy, most people turn to sex, kisses or hugs. What I want to propose is that this goes far beyond these simple constructs. If we acknowledge that each body has a form of intimacy, then that compels a deeper examination of each and the interaction between them from all those different levels. The first step is to acknowledge that there are, in fact, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual intimacy needs that need to be met within each of us. Those types of intimacy are very different from one another, yet interact in amazing ways. Physical intimacy starts from birth and involves being held, touched and coddled. This need is equal or even grater than actual sustenance for the baby and this carries forward to be true for our entire lives. Emotional intimacy is something that develops over time as it require our ability to be vulnerable and share feelings with others. Trauma often makes the development of this level of intimacy difficult, but when healed, it can be profound. Mental intimacy is another that needs to be developed and involves the sharing of ideas, brainstorming and other synergistic exercises that foster cooperation and collaboration, equating to mental intimacy. Spiritual intimacy is when we start to explore our own spirituality and find common ground with others and share that level of intimacy in our ceremonies, prayers and beliefs.

The interaction of these different types of intimacy makes for a complex web to explore in all our relationships. It is this depth and diversity that makes life interesting to explore. It is also a core part of the decolonization process as it changes the very foundations of how we interact with one another.

When exploring my relationships, I acknowledge that the level of intimacy changes how vulnerable I will be and there are specific boundaries associated with each. For example, my interaction with a lover is very different than with a tribe member, friend, acquaintance or a stranger. Each one of these can provide a form of intimacy, but there are limits on each depending on trust and ability to reciprocate intimacy in a healthy way.

I may hug a stranger, but I’m not going to kiss them or have sex. A hug with a stranger is also very different than a hug from a friend or a lover. Intimacy needs require engaging in relationships with other individuals. I currently don’t know of any way to have intimacy needs met in isolation. After all, we are social beings and that requires that our needs be met by others in our circles AND that we meet the needs of others within those circles as well.

Finding a way to balance all of these intimacy needs could go a long way towards healing as well. Healing ourselves so that we don’t engage in violent behaviours must be a journey done within. People can hold space for the healing, but it is far too abusive to do this work while in intimate relationships. However, the healing journey stalls when we do that original shadow work as the next phase requires intimate relationships to finish that process.

It is in this light that I explore the dance between the masculine and feminine. Masculine energy is an energy that flows in and out. Feminine energy flows between being open and close. The interesting dynamic is that Masculine energy is also responsible for holding the container as feminine energy is very fluid. These energies can exist within a single individual, but also be a beautiful dynamic between two people.

When the masculine energy does his work properly, he establishes the safe container for the divine feminine. Much like what we did during the camp last week. The result is automatic within a healthy feminine. She feels safe to then express her feminine energy which then starts to be fluid and flow within the contain. She opens up like a flower to express her full beauty and feminine energy. The masculine energy must honour this process and her sovereignty. If everything is done in a healthy and respectful way, she will invite him ‘in’. With consent, he can then penetrate the feminine energy and make a profoundly intimate connection where the two energies begin to flow through each other and create absolute magic. While there are physical sexual references here, this also involves the other forms of intimacy too on an emotional, mental and spiritual level.

For intimate partners, I suspect that the goal is to find a balance between all four levels of intimacy. If the masculine can create a container for all four and feminine feels safe, then all four levels of intimacy are involved and profound healing can take place for both of them. For tribe members and friends, there may be limits to the level of intimacy, but the goal is similar. Sex and kissing may be off limits, but hugs, sacred circles and ceremonies are still a foundational goal for building trusting and deeply intimate relationships within a tribe.

For a stranger we may feel comfortable hugging them, having intellectual conversations about politics, economics, social issues, etc. For a friend or tribe member, the level of intimacy may involve being vulnerable by sharing feelings, fears and shadows while also covering deeper intellectual topics, performing ceremonies and hugging or dancing.

But for an intimate couple, the goal is to be ‘all in’ on all levels. The couple can engage on all those other levels, but their dance is very different. Instead of hugging for 10 seconds or dancing for a few minutes, their relationship becomes very intimate, to the point of melding the two energies together. They may start out in ceremony as their beliefs are common between the two. They agree on many of the same principles that govern how they live their lives. They have found a way to be vulnerable with one another in regards to how they are feeling and the traumas that they are working on healing. When all three of these intimacy needs have been met, the physical intimacy transforms. Their dance is no longer just a dance, but a way of making love to one another, exploring each other’s bodies through movement and music. As they learn how to move together, caress and kiss, the level of intimacy increases beyond acquaintance, beyond friendship. Making love to one another can take hours and is not just a physical act of sex. It requires profound intimacy on all four levels to start engaging in healing energies that help both! The dance may move from the dance floor to the bed, but it goes beyond anything I’ve ever contemplated or heard discussed by others.

I’ve yearned for a partner to explore this level of healing and interaction. I feel I’m ready to hold the container for divine feminine in this way. I’m sure we will both make mistakes along the way, but that is the beautiful part of this journey. It is in the attempt that also brings intimacy, trust and excitement to the relationship between masculine and feminine. It will help both heal the intimacy traumas of the past, but also the multi-generational traumas that resulted due to colonization and a lack of conscious awareness.

It is time for the masculine to start creating containers for the feminine, so that they can both explore a level of healing that goes beyond what any Sacred Heart Circle can do. This is something that we cannot do by ourselves. We need to reconcile our relationships between the two as this must be done together. Time to put away the hierarchy and join together in profound partnership and intimacy balanced between all four aspects of our being. I am open to discussion on these ideas. What do you think and feel about what I’ve shared here?

Choosing a Path – Part 8

Posted on July 24, 2021 by White Walking Feather

Our tribe held a full moon ceremony and some significant feelings where shared in that circle. Normally I don’t share what happens in circles, but I asked my dear sister Tammy if she would consent to me sharing what she said. She gave me consent, so I share with you now as what she said is profound and extremely important.

Tammy acknowledged with the tribe that the divine masculine is healing and making profound strides in that journey. She followed up with the statement that she no longer feels afraid. She knows that no matter what happens, she will be provided for and protected.

To hear divine feminine express feelings like this is significant and a testimony to the work that we are doing here with this tribe. A lot of work has been done over the past three months, but I’m confident in suggesting that the tipping point happened when she shared with me that she was going to spend $600 on wood. I immediately thought that it was craziness to do that considering that we live in the middle of the bush. So I read the need that she had and went into the bush and started hauling out fire wood for her. I’m not done, but spending a day doing that meant the WORLD to her, so much so, that she was moved to share her feelings in circle. That in turn was a huge confirmation that I’m doing the right things, holding powerful masculine energy within this space and bridging the gap between masculine and feminine in a healthy way. That was acknowledged by her testimony regarding the healing of the masculine.

I’m confident in suggesting that this would never have happened if we did not engage in purposeful ceremony with specific intent: healing relationships. I’ve been reflecting on why ceremony is so important and I’m starting to realize now the significance of it. Life is busy and when we focus on objectives like building homes, tending gardens, harvesting, etc, we get so caught up in the work that we forget about or get distracted away from what matters most: relationships.

Holding ceremony on a regular basis ensures that we stop everything and submerse ourselves in deep, profound and intimate ceremony to work on our relationships with self, each other, Mother Earth, Creator and all of creation. It is too easy to suggest that the day to day work is more important and to suggest that we will have time later to work on relationships. This is not true. The work done in ceremony is, by far, the most important work we have. Ceremony is sacred work to help us heal, maintain balance, remind us of what is important and sacred in life. It provides everyone with an opportunity to heal and hold space for others to do the same. To honour spirit in such a way brings profound meaning and intent to life here on Mother Earth.

When working with a tribe, it is absolutely critical that ceremony be a central protocol for all involved. Those that don’t embrace the spirit of ceremony and the opportunities presented within those circles will have the most difficult time with the tribe. While tribe work involves supporting and encouraging each member to be as independent as possible, those that take advantage of the tribe will be confronted as it violates the spirit of the tribe as well as divine masculine and feminine energies. The safety net of the tribe comes when we provide support to develop and maintain the independence of ourselves and the other members of the tribe. Tribes are able to support the youth and elders, but not those able to support themselves.

Ceremony helps tribes work through these challenges and decolonize our way of thinking in the process. The colonial way is to pay into a pot and people can then draw from the pot (insurance / limited liability). This results in people living with limited liability, not being 100% responsible for the choices or actions that take in life. Dependency is encourage which then dis-empowers people and forms co-dependent relationships. However, in tribe, we live with full liability, where everyone must accept 100% responsibility and accountability for their life. Independence is encouraged so that inter-independent relationships can be formed. If somebody is dependent, the tribe works to restore independence as quickly as possible. This is our nature. This is the way we are supposed to live.

Ceremony is used to remind us of these truths and provide protocols to support and encourage this way of life. It is not easy and requires hard work, but the rewards are profound. Riches are found the the profoundly intimate relationships that are forged as a result. Intimate relationships on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. This is where true security comes from. What the state and corporations provide is a benefit; there is NO security there. When people gather together within the constructs of our nature and use ceremony and tribal protocols to work and live together, that is when we find security. That is NOT accomplished until divine feminine says that she feels safe and secure.

Divine masculine has a LOT of work to do in order to heal and build that kind of safe container. I know that I’m on the right track because divine feminine is saying she is no longer afraid. She knows her needs are being looked after. Masculine does not have a say in whether his work is good enough or not. Divine feminine has that say and it is best we start to listen to her. Divine feminine is standing up all over the world, screaming at the top of her lungs. It is best that we start listening to her. We do that by entering into sacred ceremonies, doing the work, changing how we live and address these issues at the root. Trauma is that root cause and it is best we heal that trauma so that we can remedy the issues that is confronting us and will destroy us if we don’t get to work soon. Those that refuse to do the work will find themselves facing tough love as unconscious violent colonial ways are not welcome within the tribe. Those that have the WILL and ABILITY to do this shadow work are welcome, but boundaries are firm for those that engage in violence within the tribe. These behaviours threaten the tribe and will be confronted. Creator and Mother Earth are both putting us all through a case of tough love right now. These lessons may feel harsh as death, disease, famine, starvation and other challenges are presenting at this moment. The learning and healing curve is great, but so too are the rewards.

In two weeks we will host the UNGRIP Boot Camp here with this tribe. Ceremony will be a big part of the time spent here. We only have two spots left open for those that want to experience what I speak about in these blog posts. If you want to attend, please let me know quickly as I anticipate these two spots will be filled soon.

Choosing a Path – Part 7

Posted on July 9, 2021 by White Walking Feather

Since I’ve done this journey before, I’m confident that the choices I’m making will not only work, but allow me to survive the winter. My strategy is simple but can be challenging without the help of the tribe. The shelter I’m building came from an idea that I saw visiting the Ukrainian Village Historical site just outside of Edmonton. The idea was to place logs over a hole and cover with sod. There is no sod here, so I modified the design and decided to use the gravel that I’m excavating to cover the roof and then put a cement cap over top of it all. The idea here is that I need a building that can accomplish a number of features. It must be able to access the thermal mass of the earth to help keep me warm during extreme temperatures in the winter. The building must be able to handle 6 feet of snow on its roof as well as all the snow melt during the spring and summer rains. I also need to make sure the building will not flood and will not burn down during a forest fire.

The site I chose is on top of a hill, so risk of flood is low. To ensure a fast snow melt does not flood me out, I’m going to build a swale around the building that I can then use to collect water or redirect it around and down the hill. Fire protection is done by putting gravel on the roof but also covering any exposed wood with cob. While it is not 100% fire protection, it will provide some protection. The thermal mass of the building will be very high, so I’m confident that it will function fine during the winter. I’ll fire up the stove as soon as I get it enclosed so that I can start drying it out and charging the thermal mass. I also suspect that 6 feet of snow on the roof will provide a warm blanket for the building during the winter and keep me nice and cool during the summer. I’ve worked with and lived in thermal mass buildings for over a decade, so I’m confident that it will perform as I need it to be.

I also wanted a building that will rot and fill in itself when I go, whether I move away or leave this realm. I want to make sure that my foot print is very small. This building is only temporary anyway as I plan to live in it for only a few years, which gives me time to build a more permanent one. Why put in so much effort for a temporary shelter? Because winter comes very quickly. Right now my shelter needs is being supported by the tribe. I’m living in a camper, which is a huge boost as it gives me time to setup a shelter. If I did not have this, my strategy would be a bit different.

Without a tribe, I would take this stepped approach.

Top priority is to build a small shelter to handle the elements. This shelter would accommodate my needs for a few days while I build a larger shelter to handle my summer needs.
The summer shelter is a bit larger but still very basic and can be built in a few days. Once this shelter is built, I would then start work on a winter shelter.
This is the stage I’m at right now. Tribe allowed me to skip these first two steps. When starting in the spring, I only have a few short months to get the winter shelter built. The goal here is to not only survive a winter but have a shelter for a few years to buy time to build my permanent shelter.
Permanent shelter would then be designed to survive for the rest of my life, have room for visitors, family, friends or even tribe members. More importantly, I need room so that I can pay it forward and provide shelter for others who are starting out so that they too can skip the first two steps and jump right to the third step.

When people are being forced out of their homes due to mortgage foreclosures, tax notices, war, famine, etc, we will need to find a way to provide shelters for people off all the grids. The price of lumber has sky rocketed, which makes it nearly impossible for people to build shelters the traditional way. How do we build shelters without the resources of the grid? We do it by looked back at how our ancestors did it 100+ years ago. I am doing this work to explore what it is like, how long it takes, effort, cost and feasibility. If I fail, the tribe has indicated that they have room for me for the winter. So the risk is much lower than if I was on my own. I’m confident that I could be living in my new shelter by August. I’m hoping to be into it before the UNGRIP Boot Camp on August 9-13.

Tribe is important during times like this. I encourage people to setup their Sacred Heart Circles as this is how tribe is formed; by being vulnerable and working through our shadows together. We will be discussing these topics at length during the boot camp. I encourage people to sign up if even a little bit of this resonates with you. I have a feeling that we will need ideas like this in the coming years, especially as the tyranny progresses to march along. Being able to survive and thrive in extreme climates like the north will be a huge benefit for those willing to do the work.

It is also important to have the knowledge and skills to be able to build shelters when we UNGRIP from the state and no longer have a person to interface with the coming mark of the beast. These passports, social credit scores, etc are all designed to enslave people and when we take a stand and remove ourselves from them, we also remove ourselves from their supply chain, goods and services. That leaves each individual responsible for fending for themselves and knowing how to do that without stores is going to be a critical skill to have.
