Blue Heron Heron medicine is the power of knowing the self by discovering its gifts and facing its challenges. It is the ability to accept all feelings and opinions without denying any emotion or thought. Heron flies over those who are unaware of who they are and where they belong in the world. Gently dropping a blue feather to them, Heron asks that they follow their intuition and begin the empowering journey of self-realization. Read more…
I just returned from 6 days in CA at the Sun-Moon Dance. There were 30 dancers in the Arbor and that many and more outside supporting the Dance. Every single time I try to write about the Dance, words fail me. It is damn near impossible to convey the beauty and power of it. Every single person there was in the vibration of love…every. single. person. It was a love fest! It was hard and Read more…
I’ve been very lazy about writing and I’m going to change my ways. The last year has been packed with many opportunities to grow and change and experience gorgeous ceremony. This is a panoramic image of our beautiful dance arbor, taken last weekend after the Long Dance by a Dancer. We hosted the International Peace Chamber Gathering in April of this year. We had chambers from Europe, South America, Australia and all over the United Read more…
When we dance we can work on healing our pasts and by healing our pasts we heal our future, for ourselves and for our children and their children. Aho Space is what is curving time. And that is what is creating gravity – that dialog between time and space. When we dance we expand the light over and over through time. When people leave the dance, they may think they are still in the same Read more…
This morning as I was watering the trees down near the Chamber and doing a little reading from Joseph’s book I came across a passage in which he is talking about the Peace Sound Chambers and their purpose. I like everyone else, is wondering about the state of our country and our world and it is hard not to be worried or anxious sometimes and horrified too at the violence, which is playing out around Read more…
Written by Martha Boose after her 1st Sun-Moon Dance HOLLOW BONE Black Elk came to me in meditation and said: We are the hollow bone, through which Great Spirit comes and resides, and through which we share All That Is. I am a Hollow Bone. I had heard this before. At the Dance. I am a Hollow Bone and that is why I had the whistle, to remember that I was a Hollow Bone. Then Read more…

As I continue to Dance in the Sun-Moon Dance and center my life around “listening” and saying yes, I see more and more how there is a different way to live our lives. One that is based on being a “true human” as my teacher Joseph Rael says. A “true human” is a listener. What that means to me, is just taking the time to listen to the wind, the rain, the birds, the insects Read more…
We are approaching “dance season” and my heart is feeling the call to the Dance. April 15-18th of 2016 we will be having the first of what I hope are many Sun-Moon dances on this precious land in Tucson Arizona. This year Kristen Bissinger (the Chief in PA and one of my mentor’s) will be chiefing and I will be co-chiefing. I went to PA last year to be in the Arbor to be Read more…
Full Moon Capricorn Drum Ceremony – 7/2/15 So once again, I approached the Sound Chamber for Peace, above and looking down, looking into myself, as I moved toward the steps. Now, as I survey the land, I see the frame for the sweat lodge, the pit where the Grandfathers have been laid, and the fire that was built in reverence and ceremony. Many prayers have floated in and through these elements. As I gaze to Read more…
