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.

What is Sacred to You?

Posted on August 3, 2020 by White Walking Feather

I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out why more people are not taking steps to be free. Then a dear friend shared this video and it became clear to me.

They are not taking steps to be free because they don’t want to be free. I agree with the assessment that James Corbett made in this video and if you read my book ‘Graduating Life with Honours‘, you will find that supported in great detail. I attached the pdf of the book ‘The Politics of Obedience’ to make it easy for people to find it. I really do encourage students to read the book.

I’ve been struggling for years trying to figure out why more people are not taking steps to revoke their consent to being governed and taking up the duty of self governance or working hard to rebuild our ancestral tribes. What is it that scares people so much? This video and book helped me realize that they are not actually scared, they just don’t want to.

When I realized this ugly truth, it was like a light bulb went off. While many would argue this point, I think it is an accurate assessment. I suggest that the vast majority are not consciously aware of why they make the choices they do. I wonder if this group masks their choices in fear to prevent them from consciously exploring the root causes of their dependencies and trauma. It is this point where fear and blanket dismissals seems to govern the masses, but only as a mask. If we dig through the fear, we will find a justification for staying with the tyrant; benefits and privileges.

When I take a look at current events, I can now see this playing out and no amount of confrontation is going to shift people from this way of thinking. They want to fight with one another. They actually want to belly ache and complain about masks, quarantines, vaccinations and all that stuff, because it distracts them from accepting fully responsibility and accountability for their own life and taking the steps to make it happen.

People have yet to surrender to Spirit. Until they do so, this narrative will continue to unfold and deteriorate.

For years I felt a sense of duty to confront people in order to help them make that transition, to bring awareness to their conscious mind and help them take that leap of faith in themselves. For years I’ve been met with frustration and a stunned disbelief on why those efforts failed so miserably. I now know why. Because I’m not helping people in fear overcome, I was dealing with people who already made their choices and were fully committed to the outcomes those choices produced.

I also felt this overwhelming duty of speaking up and testifying to the violence I saw in order to protect the vulnerable, weak and violated. Turns out this duty was misguided as I focused on people who, again, had already made that choice. Through these summer months, I am re-evaluating my approach and will be implementing changes in the coming weeks.

This school is designed for people who have made the conscious choice to withdraw their consent from being governed, are willing to do the work to heal themselves, acquire skills and walk the path of self-governance with the support of a tribe. This is not an easy path, but it does demonstrate that we can have forms of governance that does not include tyranny, violence, coercion, greed or any of the other frailties and flaws of modern political institutions.

What do we hold as sacred?

That is the most important question to ask to help people confront themselves and their own participation with the state. Is the Pope sacred? How about the Queen, Governor General or even the Prime Minister? Are we looking at the flesh or the office?

It is critical that we acknowledge that people in power hold the office as sacred when in fact it is nothing but a fictional construct and leads us directly towards treating these constructs as if they are holy. They are NOT and should never be treated as such. They are tools for tyrants and it is our spiritual duty to disconnect ourselves from them and treat them as such: dead bodies. Time to bury them and allow the vessels to decompose and release their nutrients for those that are alive.

If you are insulted or take offense to what I just said, then this school is not for you as you are choosing to support the sanctity of your tyrant oppressor. However, if you agree with what I said, then you are welcome to join us as we explore how we can accomplish freedom from tyranny in a peaceful, non-violent way. The Politics of Obedience is a good reference to help us in that journey, just as my own books and other writings that I’ve shared in the library.

You are sacred to me, just as Mother Earth, air, water, plants and animals. My relationships are also sacred. I refuse to let tyrants, fictional constructs or abhorrent behaviour desecrate that which is holy.

So, you want to join an intentional community

Posted on April 20, 2020 by White Walking Feather

One of my most popular posts on Facebook in months was a simple question: If a few of us started an eco village around the Edmonton area, who would be interested?

Uploaded by Mikael Häggström, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons

A lot of people liked the idea and over 50 people put their hat into the circle. I feel moved to write about the idea. My own experience over the last 13 years to work with people on the land has been full of failure, but also some astounding success. I am no fan of using colonial constructs to build community. If we are going to decolonize, return to the land and rebuild our ancestral tribes, we must go through a significant amount of healing and decolonization. Most of the intentional communities that I’ve read or heard stories about, have fail or struggle because some foundational truths are not realized and addressed. As a result, trauma, co-dependency and colonial constructs seep into the relationships and start to erode the hard work that people have put into the community.

My school, White Walking Feather’s School for the Pacem Arts, is designed to work on those core fundamentals to help people prepare for life within such communities. With the deterioration of modern social structures, institutions and relationships, people are now interested in returning to the land, growing their own gardens and working together to provide for our basic needs, social interaction and security.

I’ve modified the medicine wheel to reflect some of these de-colonization medicines required for us to make this transition. It starts with the green circle in the middle of the wheel, which represents our heart. By healing, we find space within ourselves to no longer participate in war, violence, force or aggression. This is why the school is centered on the Sacred Heart Circle and started here first. By being vulnerable and walking as Spiritual Braves, we confront our past, heal and build profoundly intimate relationships with one another. If people refuse to do this work, it will be identified early and could safe a lot of problems and heart ache as some people refuse to end the war and declare peace. It is this type of peaceful relationships that is at the core of any intentional community or tribe. War has no place here. By learning the protocols on how to do this work, we significantly increase the probabilities that our relationships within the community or tribe will be successful.

The blue circle is all about personal knowledge and health. Of all the investments in the world, these two reap the greatest rewards and can never be taken away from us by others. When we explore the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual relationships in our lives, we acknowledge the wide scope and depth of our relationships with self, Creator, Mother Earth and everyone else who shares this realm with us. When we have done significant work to heal ourselves, we are now ready to venture out into the world and explore what community is all about.

When we are invited to learn about a community, it is our responsibility to learn, adapt and grow. There are four seasons and each season brings with it many challenges and learning opportunities. That is why it takes a full year to really get to know what the community is all about. Explore all aspects of the medicine wheel within the community, such as the land, buildings, earth, plants, animals, air, water, energy, waste recycling, collection, storage, ceremony, protocols, etc. This is an important aspect of the medicine wheel and is often where colonial constructs seep into the organization as the heart centric work has not been done. When intellect drives the process we will end up with colonized institutional type thinking within the community. But when we heal and allow spirit and our heart to guide the process, that is when our communities can be strong, vibrant, flexible and resilient.

After a year of exploring the community, learning and growing, the community then must gather within its Elder’s Circle (purple circle) and make a decision on whether to extend an invitation to invite people into their inner circle. This is a serious decision as it has a profound impact on the community as a whole. This whole process is allowing both sides to learn and grow with one another to make sure it is going to be a good fit. It may also mean suggesting that people explore other tribes or communities as the fit may be better suited with other groups.

I am in no position to dictate protocol, how communities are formed, built, etc. In fact, I suspect that when billions of us go through this protocol we will end up with millions of different types of solutions and that is a good thing to do. Our environment, ancestors, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, challenges, etc will all form different and unique solutions that we can share with one another openly on social media and other forums.

My new book: UNGRIP – A Sacred Transformation, will take the reader through this protocol as I’m writing my book to follow this idea. If people are willing and able to work with me, I am open to the challenge. This is not ‘my’ community or tribe. I am a facilitator to help people work through these protocols. I claim no ownership and refuse to have co-dependent relationships with people. I am looking for people willing to build their own independence and work on having a healthy, respectful and equal relationship with me and others within the group.

We will have dispute resolution protocols and other techniques to help people work through any challenges that may come up. That is the whole spirit and intent of the school. If this interests you, then you can sign up at the lowest level to start reading my book, at the Sacred Heart Circle level to start your heart centric journey, or as a student to really dig into the meat and potatoes of what it’s going to take to participate fully within a community and decolonize.

I fully suspect that when people do this work, our own communities and tribes will start to manifest naturally as spirit moves us to work together! Each of you will gravitate towards each other and your community and tribes will form organically, as they should! If this resonates with you, then I encourage you to join the school and lets get to work!

I am running a whole bunch of classes over the coming months to help with this process. I’ll be posting a calendar shortly! Please check in with me in a few days if the classes interest you. I was scheduled to go to Blood reserve to teach classes this spring, but due to the pandemic, that is off. So I’m going to do this work online instead.

Our Nature is Tribal

Posted on April 12, 2020 by White Walking Feather

As governments around the world continue to lock down their populations, fear seems to be the main weapon being used against the people. In Edmonton, police are stopping people and giving $1000 tickets to occupants of the vehicle if they have different addresses on their ID. People are being ticketed for walking by themselves in the park or being on the beach. This is not about a pandemic, this is about control, fear and tyranny.

Why are we in a position like this now? I would suggest that we have moved away from our nature and live life far beyond where we are supposed to be. We abandoned our tribal ways of life in exchange for being a herd. In the process we abandoned our duty within our tribe and asked that privileged people rule over us within that herd. As such, those leaders guide the herd as they see fit and the herd must follow.

We are then confronted with disease that sweeps through the herd. Disease is a natural event governed by natural law. Its design is to thin herds, especially the sick and weak. The scavengers and predators also prey upon the herd to help keep it moving and strong. But our herds don’t move. They sit in one spot, cities. As such, these herds end up consuming all the resources of that spot and must ship food and other materials in from the country side. They then consume and turn that one spot into toxic waste due to the accumulation of waste, pollution and other environmental issues.

Herds are supposed to be constantly on the move. Some tribes would follow the herds and as such are used to picking up camp and following the herds. But with our modern herds being in one location, these people want to move around, so they travel where ever they can. Some of us don’t like traveling. Our ancestral tribes remained relatively in the same spot, small and in harmony with our surrounding environment.

But people don’t live like that any more. We gave up our ancestral ways in favor of being in a herd and that causes sickness, tyranny, stress, anxiety and slavery. While we remain in herds, we will be farmed like cattle and only when we leave the herd and start rebuilding our ancestral tribes will we find health, freedom and peace.

This requires healing, learning, knowledge, experience, teachings, relationships, trust and spiritual family. This is not an easy path as most people want to bring their herd mentality into the tribe and that will not work. Colonization is a violent, abusive and brainwashing protocol to remove people from the tribe to integrate them into a herd. If we want to reverse that trend, we must find peaceful, loving, decolonization protocols to help people heal so that they can embrace their nature.

When we do that, the trauma will heal and we will find that we have time to spend with others. The stress will be significantly less as we find the tribe can support our needs while we participate in supporting the needs of others. Nobody gets left behind because the tribe is small enough where everyone is included, cared for and a valued member of the tribe. People can come and go if they choose, but protocol is important as this changes the dynamics of the tribe.

I’m exploring these protocols and relationships in my new book, which you can read here on my Patreon page. By healing ourselves, we are no longer manipulated or trapped by fear, the foundational weapon that tyrannical governments use to control people.

I don’t buy the story being spoon feed by media and government. I still see their end game being rolled out before our eyes and the majority of people support it. I don’t. I refuse to comply with their tyranny. I declare peace and I will govern myself so that I don’t fall into the war that is being played out. This is indeed war, World War III! This is not a war of bullets, yet. Instead, this is a war of ideas, control, manipulation, propaganda and tyranny. Their weapon is fear. They know people better than the people know themselves.

Heal thy self, that way fear can no longer control or manipulate oneself. They depend on traumatized people to want to be protected by a parent. The people are the children, the state is the parent. As long as people remain children, they state will feel obligated to parent them. However, when we heal and learn how to stand as adults, the relationship changes and that is how we can change the world. We do it by healing ourselves and taking on the duty to fully self-govern.

That requires that we provide supports around ourselves to accomplish that goal. We need to re-connect with our ancestral tribal structures. This too requires healthy individuals to start this journey. When the tribes get to a sufficient size, then the capacity to take on the sick, elderly, young, etc can be fully realized. We need to get moving on these ideas as the state will soon loose it’s capacity to look after those who are vulnerable. In fact, it is already starting as reports are coming in where staff are abandoning seniors residence resulting in dead bodies, feces and starving seniors (Montreal Gazette)

By practicing the Pacem Arts, we provide ourselves with the healing, tools and tribal protocols we all need to start returning to our home fires and building healthy relationships with those around us. We can then walk away from the battle field governed by the state and start to fix the foundational issues that have plagued mankind for thousands of years. I truly believe we are ready for this next evolutionary process in our consciousness. This requires Christ level consciousness and it is now time.

Join us in circle and go through the material that I’ve put up so far. I’m confident that when we surrender our violent ways and do the hard work to heal, that we can overcome what ever unfolds around us. Read my books if that helps too! Print them out and make notes along the way. I welcome those who want to surrender their old ways and explore what these new relationships may look like. I don’t have the answers as what will unfold will be co-created by us all. But I am willing to hold space for that creative process to unfold. I welcome it.

Peace, healing, good health and love to you all.

Note: The picture is from a tribe in Europe. Even our European ancestors lived as tribes before we too were colonized. Our indigenous brothers and sisters have a lot that they can teach us, if we are open to remember all that we lost through the trauma of colonization.

Testify, one of our greatest gifts

Posted on March 8, 2020 by White Walking Feather

Time is, by far, the greatest gift we can give somebody else, but to share how we feel is a close second. A dear friend just shared publicly how she felt about me holding space for her healing journey. It is powerful and I felt moved to share it with those who are not sure whether or not to take that leap and join. I hope this helps. I also added a few more that I have received over the past few years. May their words find space to help you on your own journey.

~~~~~

“Rob is one of the few people I have ever felt comfortable sharing my healing journey with. Not just because he has been through it and has come out the other side with a robust understanding of healing, or even just because he walks the talk, but also because he communicates with such respect when he calls me on my shit…which is a huge part of what I have had to heal from. The truth is, most of what we experience, we have a role in creating. And I needed to learn to keep myself out of abusive situations. When I would get back into those relationships, I was immediately called out with compassion and supported to ensure I could be free of those patterns and people.

It’s rare to meet someone who understands the truly painful process that healing our relationships is. It’s not all light and good vibes. It’s dark. It’s painful. And it’s completely worth it to come out the other side. Though I would add it’s a continual process.

I know what a difference it has made in my life to have Rob hold space for me to talk, sometimes to cry, and sometimes to push me to learn, work and grow. ” – Natalie Pepin

~~~~~

“Coming together to hold space where it’s okay to be vulnerable as men is one of the best medicines. Being able to express our weaknesses and being completely open to understanding that we are not alone in the fear that we are inadequate. This retreat allowed for this to happen. Admitting to yourself that it’s okay to cry and okay to be hurt is something more of us as humans need to do. Because if we don’t and we walk around like we are always “strong”, then that eventually manifests into physical medical sickness. Let it out and don’t hold that garbage. This retreat will allow that process to begin. Challenge yourself to something that no other man is willing to do. Learn to love freely and openly.” – Sweetgrass Sitting Bear (Benjamin Badger – Kehewin First Nations) [testimony regarding Men’s Retreat]

~~~~~

“I was very pleased and excited to hear that White Walking Feather is offering mentoring, for those that are willing to do the work. I am so grateful for all the work he has done, and continues to do. He has knowledge and wisdom that he shares openly in his books and blogs. How generous is that? A couple years ago, I had a visit from Child Protective Services. It did not go well. I didn’t handle things in a good way. They were pushing me, to have my daughter released into their system. I called WWF immediately. I was shaken. Scared. Knowing that he would understand my situation. Living off grid. Trying to live peacefully. WWF helped me draw up a letter, mentored me, helped me to grasp and understand what needed to be done, and why. He spoke to my heart. Please know that YOU must do the work. I have heard nothing back from CPS. They heard me. In my experience, he won’t candy coat things for you. Sometimes you have to get into the trenches, and do the work. I have a great respect for that. I thank you WWF from the bottom of my heart for offering all the tools and knowledge you have shared with us. With much respect and love” – A Northern Earth Mother

The Homage due when Healing Abusive Relationships

Posted on March 1, 2020 by White Walking Feather

As a reformed emotional and mental abuser, I often wince when I see people express to others that the abuse happened in the past and to get over it. When working on reconciling relationships, we often focus on the side of the victim, but how often do we discuss the side of the abuser?

Let’s explore the later and the only way I know how to do that is to share what I went through during my healing journey. This journey required some key milestones that I had to go through. Each milestone was like climbing mount Everest, but with hard work, burning determination, support, and an open mind and an open heart, anybody can work through this journey.

Surrender

This first milestone took me 33 years to accomplish. Mainly because I refused to see or admit that I had a problem. Most abusers struggle with this first phase and as such fail to go through the healing journey. For me, it required that I hit rock bottom and be confronted with the sobering choice: Change or Die. Drugs, alcohol and a whole host of other addictions made it very difficult for me to be honest with myself. But when I faced that choice, I finally surrendered and chose to change.

That opened me up to really hearing and seeing how my behaviour was hurting other people, how to connect with my feelings and communicate with others in a peaceful and loving way. My violence was rooted in my own trauma, so I had to work on healing all of that at the same time. Tough, painful work. But I got through it and continue to fine tune it even to this day. I speak about this project frequently within my book, sacred circles and even in public as this is a big hurdle that prevents much of our healing in today’s world. Lots of people walking around with hidden or unacknowledged trauma.

Duty to hold space

During our reconciliation process, part of the healing journey is for the abuser to make amends with his / her victims. This can only really happen when both sides have done considerable healing work, otherwise there is a risk of sliding back into the abusive relationship. However, when done properly with honour and spiritual guidance, this can be a profoundly healing journey for both sides.

The challenge for the abuser is that he / she must hold space for the other to be able to share without fear of retaliation, justification or some sort of response of self defense, etc. This is best done within ceremony, facilitated by individuals who have experience with this type of work, but could be done one on one with a great deal of respect, honour and integrity. What this means is that the reformed abuser must hold the space and allow the abused to share their feelings, in silence and then acknowledge the violence to validate the feelings of the other individual. When I went through this phase, I felt shame, guilt and some of my old defense mechanisms came up where I wanted to justify or defend the behaviour. It took a lot of work to resist these automatic responses in favor of a more healthy approach.

It is extremely difficult to hear what the other is saying and admit to myself that what I did hurt them, scared them or harmed them in some way. Sitting there and nodding my head yes and acknowledging what I did is painful as I worked hard to empathize with the other individual and admit that I hurt somebody deeply. Here is the kicker, I don’t get to define their pain or suffering. That is theirs to share and for me to hear and acknowledge. Politicians and many chronic abusers struggle with this point the most.

Now I’m confronted with my own shame and guilt as I acknowledge the consequences of my own actions and behaviours. This actually helps me to connect the consequences of my own actions to the behaviours that I’m working on changing and healing. Now I must do more healing as I have the energy of that shame and guilt to work through. If I don’t do this work, then that energy get stuck and my healing stops. It is this next phase that helps solidify the lessons and puts in place the healing, protocols and boundaries that helps ensure the abuse ends.

Healing and Integration

This can be done within the same healing circle or it could be done afterwards. Shame and guilt are tough feelings to process and I’ve found that working through them required the establishment of boundaries and protocols to not only protect myself, but most importantly, to protect others. These boundaries are self limiting protocols to help ensure that I trigger myself should I ever engage in behaviours that have caused harm to others in the past. That helps me to move forward. However, I still have to resolve the past and the only way I’ve found to do that is to forgive myself.

This can me most challenging as these memories can haunt somebody for a life time. Even if others have not forgiven me, it is important that I do. The struggle is that I don’t lie to myself and use justification as a means to trick myself into thinking that I forgave myself. There is no justification to doing harm to another sacred being. True forgiveness must come from a genuine acknowledgement of the harm, establishment of protocols to ensure it does not happen again and a burning desire to hold one accountable to those protocols. When we do that, we can then let go of the guilt and shame so that we can move forward with the confidence that we have done everything we can to love ourselves and others. Letting go of that burden is our reward for doing the work to heal and establish healthy boundaries.

Vigilance and Persistence

This level of change is rare, extremely difficult, but indeed possible. I’ve heard from many people how it is impossible for violent abusers to change. I refuse to believe that and I pray that my work is proof that it is possible. However, this was of my own doing. Nobody did this for me. Nobody can change me, except myself. So all of you out there wanting to help heal people and change them, I question your motives.

What we can do though is hold space for people who have surrendered and are able AND willing to do this work. We can confront people and hold them accountable to their violent behaviour, whether it is a spouse, friend or somebody working for the state. Violence is violence and it comes in many forms, most of it legalized and justified, despite it violating spiritual law and the highest of moral and ethical standards.

When we get through this work, it becomes a life long journey of vigilance and persistence to ensure that any future trauma does not result in old behaviours resurfacing. It requires that the reformed abuser be forever vigilant and engage in constant checking in with self to make sure we are taking a healthy approach to our relationships. That is why boundaries are so critical as it is our tool for evaluating ourselves. Our boundaries are the framework and bedrock of our moral and ethical standards that we must hold ourselves to if we are going to hold the space and charge of a healthy relationship.

Others may justify having more fluid and dynamic boundaries, but for the reformed abuser, the risk is too great as it is far too dangerous for us to slip back into those old behaviours. When we do, we must be consciously aware of these events and have the faith and persistence to recognize when we slip up, engage the proper protocols to remedy the situation and restore ourselves into good standing with our self and others.

Rebuilding the Trust

The biggest mistake people make is that ONLY when we have gone through this whole process, made a few mistakes and quickly remedied the situation do the reformed abuser have an opportunity to rebuild the trust that was destroyed as a result of the original abusive relationship.

Trust is gained by walking the path and demonstrating good faith, skill, ability and healthy boundaries over a period of years! Most unreformed abusers can fake it for weeks or even months, but this cannot be faked over years. Our true colors come shining out after longer periods of time and for people who trust easily, this can often lead to the illusion that the abuser is reformed when in fact the work has not been done at all. But when the reformed abuser can demonstrate over long periods of time that they can hold the charge of what a healthy relationship is all about, then true trust can be reestablished and true reconciliation can take place.

For me, this required months and months of talking every day, hours each day, just to work through the past and heal the trauma. It also required over two years of walking the path to prove that I have indeed changed. I will share more about this in my next book, but I felt moved to express this for those who are currently struggling with these types of issues.

It does not matter if this is between a husband and wife, between an individual and the state or an individual and a corporation. War is war. Violence is violence. It does not matter if it is legal or not. When we finally admit to ourselves that the very institutions we have created are done out of violence and not peace, then we are only fooling ourselves and preventing profound healing from taking place.

But when we can finally admit that our actions and behaviours are abusive and hold the space to hear from others on the other end of it all, then we can truly start the healing journey.

Apologies mean very little along this journey. An apology is far too easy as it does not require any work or change in behaviour. A true apology will only be believed and trusted when the abuser goes through this journey.

Actions speak louder than words. It is time to confront the abusers and for anybody willing to do this work, I am more than willing to hold space to help. However, the journey is not easy and I will not tolerate abusive behaviour, denial or any excuses.

This school is for peace and that is how we can accomplish peace. When we find the integrity to honour our victims and can publicly hold space for their own expression and healing, then we have paid homage to them and found our way towards reconciliation, healing and integrity.

Homage: Special honour and respect shown publicly.

Relations with our Brothers and Sisters

Posted on February 13, 2020 by White Walking Feather

Given the escalating turmoil across this land, I decided to write a letter to the government of Canada, Albert and BC. The letter is attached to this post for anybody interested in reading it.

With all the protests going on across Canada, I think it is prudent to explore what is going on and how it can be resolved peacefully. The challenge though, is that this process will be very uncomfortable, especially for those who see nothing wrong with the way this country is setup, how industry works or those who are dependent on it all for their jobs or survival.

2000 years ago the mark of the centurion was a brand or tattoo used by the Roman government to mark their centurions of the roman army. What most people don’t realize is that this mark was expanded to also include those people who worked in the factories making weapons and armor.

If we fast forward to today, would it surprise you that the mark is no longer a brand or tattoo but now consists of pieces of plastic with numbers on them called social insurance numbers, etc? You cannot work for the government war machine without one. The problem is … almost everyone works for the war machine and does not even realize it.

Nearly everyone is at war and we wonder why we struggle to find peace in our lives. This way of life has been normalized through years of brainwashing, lies and ignorance. But with work, knowledge and awareness, we can turn that around. By consciously and objectively evaluating our relationships and exploring what healthy relationships look like, we can start making decisions that would change how we are living our lives.

To do that requires some blunt truths to be realized. This process can be very uncomfortable, disruptive and heart wrenching, especially when we realize that we have engaged in socially acceptable violence while breaking spiritual laws against one another.

Our indigenous friends are standing up against 500 years of oppression and this will make life very uncomfortable for a lot of people. They are angry, hurting, frustrated and feeling unheard and taken advantage. They are standing up to protect Mother Earth, the air, water, land and their own sovereignty.

To find a peaceful solution will require that people look long and hard in the mirror. Unfortunately, that is often the most difficult thing for any individual to do. What is my roll in all of this? How am I contributing to the war machine? How is my own privilege hindering me and others from equality, peace and freedom?

When we admit to ourselves that we have contributed to the violence against others, we are confronted with healing and forgiving ourselves while we explore new ways of living and interacting with one another. When we finally see the sacredness of life, water, air and each other, we must also acknowledge that putting a price on that is a desecration of that which is holy. That realization then puts our whole economic, financial and every other system into disrepute.

How do we live without putting a price tag on everything? Our whole social, political and economic way of life must change. There are people who are tackling all of these questions and many are turning to the older tribal ways of our ancestors to find inspiration and guidance while leveraging modern technology to help with the transition.

But it is the human condition that is being confronted. Our own thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, vices, addictions and way of life that is under the microscope.

My ancestors came from Europe and I stand as a beacon for others to confront what we are doing and meet our cousins from Turtle Island in the middle, peacefully. Our ancestors signed a treaty. It is represented by a white belt with two blue stripes. This wampum belt signifies two groups of people flowing down the river of life. They in one canoe, with their laws, customs, language and traditions and us in another. We live side by side without interfering with one another, but instead as brothers and sisters.

This is all that they ask of us. They just want the war to stop and peace to be restored. They are standing up, making life very uncomfortable so that we will stop and pay attention to what is going on. I welcome all tribes to this school so that we can do this work. This is hard work, but it is important work to do. I will work hard to build a safe place to get this done so that we can make changes to how we live.

We will learn how to declare peace and live peacefully. But that requires that we be brutally honest with ourselves. Boundaries are key and I set boundaries that make even the most gifted shake their head. We are talking about protocols that go far beyond what most of us would ever imagine. Spiritual protocols taught to us by some of the most gifted teachers in history.

Now is the time. Time to choose which path to follow. The one of war and destruction, or the one of peace, freedom and prosperity. The unveiling has happened. Time to choose.

A Beautiful Film about Treaty

Posted on December 28, 2019 by White Walking Feather

There is a beautiful video on https://www.treatytalk.com, that I watched this morning and wept. My heart aches as I witness the lies, discrimination and violence that we do against one another and even to ourselves. I know and have met many of the speakers in this film. Most of them have also sat in our earthship talking about similar topics. I found myself nodding in agreement with what was being discussed. I love them dearly and am very grateful that they put this film together. Bravo to them all for sharing their stories!

I will not attempt or even pretend to fully comprehend what they said. What I can do though is speak about the Crown and confront every single individual who participates with the status quo and violates spirit and the spirit of the international treaties that were made so that we can live here. They know their side of the story and I know ours. Our side is full of lies, violence, greed, genocide, discrimination, willful ignorance and dishonour!

Like Diane said in the video, this is ALL about relationships and I’ve been speaking to that end for 20 years. What I’ve found is that this is not going to be resolved by watching a video or having debates on social media. This is going to take a life long journey of learning, change, communication, healing and reconciliation with ourselves, Creator, Mother Earth and each other.

I started a school to help people do exactly that! White Walking Feather’s School for the Pacem Arts is not going to be easy. The training will be intense. I am unorthodox and often dismissed due to main stream propaganda and I’ve been through hell and back many times. I have overcome depression, suicide attempts, cancer and a whole host of other trauma and horrible behaviours that I see other people engage in every single day. I will not yield in my life purpose; to teach people about how we can heal, reconcile and have healthy relationships.

Do yourself a favor; if you are truly tired of the crimes of our governments and the blind participation of billions of people, then watch this video! Reach out to people who are teaching, sharing and working hard to heal, listen and reconcile their relationships with others. We all make mistakes, but it is our dedication to peace, love, respect, honour, patience, empathy and prosperity for ALL life that will speak louder than any words we may utter. Act now. I welcome people to the school if they are truly interested in doing the work. Classes start January 1st and you can join any time.

All is welcome!

Pacem Arts Prospectus 2020

Posted on December 19, 2019 by White Walking Feather

If you are looking for more information about what you can expect when training in the Pacem Arts, then look no further. Attached is our 2020 Pacem Arts Prospectus which will outline what we will be working on in this school for 2020.

May this help you take that first step to train with us. The circle is growing and we look forward to welcoming you into our circle!

I will be working on the Student Handbook so that new and existing students will have more information about specific topics, protocols, class times and other information they will need to make the best of their time in the school.

Again, I thank everyone who has signed up already. Your generosity is supporting this important work and helping make it possible to get this school up and running quickly. Thank you!!!
