The Sweet
Medicine SunDance Path of the Twisted Hairs and The Deer Tribe
|
|
|
For millennia, the
seers, shamans, and medicine teachers of Turtle Island (South,
Central and North America) have gathered together to share
Sacred Knowledge. More than seven hundred years ago they
were drawn to Oaxaca Mexico in response to a common vision
of the coming Dark Times for this hemisphere. They created
a plan for identifying, collecting and preserving Sacred
Knowledge wherever it existed amongst the tribes. In 1972,
the Elders responsible for the safekeeping of these Teachings
gleaned from many cultures again experienced a shared vision.
As a result they mandated the disciplined release of portions
of these Teachings to non full-bloods.
Thursday evening February 5th features Michael Star Mountain
Stein talking about the History and Lineage of this Path
of Shamanic knowledge from Turtle Island; its face in the
contemporary world (the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society);
and its Founder and Spiritual Elder, Thunder Strikes.
He will also explain:
· The nature of shamanism;
· How these Teachings provide a Path to Enlightenment;
and
· How to create alignment between Humans and the
basic Elemental Energies.
Saturday's workshop, "Basic Teachings of the Sweet
Medicine SunDance Path of the Twisted Hairs," will
explore some of the Foundational Knowledge of this Path.
You will learn:
· The Powers of the Directions,
· The Worlds of Grandmother Earth.
· A Shamanic view of the Human Energy Field.
· Michael Star Mountain will show how these aspects
influence our daily lives as Sacred Humans.
Michael Star Mountain first met these Teachings 15 years
ago and formally began his apprenticeship 8 years ago. Within
this Path he is a 4th Gateway Apprentice, "B"
level Teacher, a graduate of the 3-year Red Lodge and 3-year
Bravo White Lodge Longhouse programs, and a Teaching Assistant
at the Institute for Contemporary Shamanic Studies in Toronto,
Canada.
He offers monthly Study Group gatherings in Chapel Hill
and in Atlantic Beach, NC, and Ceremonies for the Solstices
and Equinoxes.
Michael consciously began his spiritual journey in 1973
when he became a meditator on the Knowledge of Maharaj Ji.
In 1983 he began training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming
(NLP) and worked with some of the masters in the field and
their mentors - Richard Bandler, James Tolchord, Paul Carter,
Virginia Satir, and Bill O'Hanlon. In 1984 he met Scout
Lee, a Seminole mixed-blood, who was Michael's first exposure
to Native American Spirituality. In the late 1980's he studied
with a Lakota full-blood, Basil Braveheart, which culminated
in 1991 with his first Vision Quest and as support staff
for the Braveheart Family Sundance.
Michael is a Certified Trainer of NLP, an Ericksonian style
hypnotist and a master storyteller. For the past 20 years
he's been facilitating team-building programs for corporations
and organizations, and coaches individuals and groups. When
not on the road teaching, studying, or engaged in Ceremony,
Michael lives in Chapel Hill and Atlantic Beach.
