The Vision of the 13 Moon-Blue Corn Circle is completed.

Bozho Nikan, Hello, my bone,
The 13 Moon Blue Corn Circle was harvested nine months after the Seeds of Inspiration-SPIRIT TALK- painting was begun. It is paintings, writings, conceptual garden plans and harvests and other records of ourselves as farmers of our lives, such as these, that are revealed in all of their integrity and beauty to be the intentional precursors that allow us to begin building, recognizing and experiencing ourselves as full co-Creators.

When we ally with the schedules of balance and harmony in accord with the rhythms of the natural world certain patterns reveal themselves with undeniable accuracy. Seasonal truths begin to become self evident when even minimal records are kept which can affirm the strength and power of Medicine Wheel partnership and mirror our inner most medicine truths. These truths offer validations of ours and others personal processes, placements and medicine journeys with our elemental parents, our Mother Earth and our Father Sky Sun, within the circle of the Sacred Hoop.

The Blue Corn Circle is my visible offering arising out of the December emergence vision of SPIRIT TALK and how it progressed throughout the past nine, gestational months, manifesting not only in the soon to be published SPIRIT TALK-BOOK OF DAYS but a visual record of the blue corn progress.

This is a profound moment in time for me personally. I invite and gift you to be the witness not only of the crop but of the conceptions and successful completions of the painting and of the book, SPIRIT TALK.

I would offer greetings and thanks for all of the encouragement and support I have received throughout this and all past years from my family, friends, teachers and the beings and blessings of the Creator and of all Creation.

SPIRIT TALK

BELOVEDS
The 13 Moon Calendar has been revealing itself as a Gift from the Creator, Mother Earth and Father Sky Sun to support whole vision and beingness to us, the two leggeds, as we remain and grow ever more into balance and harmony within the heart, body, Spirit and mind of The Tree of Life as given to us by the Master of All Breath.

I would like to thank Drunvalo Melchidezek and all sentient beings of the unified heart consciousness for the work so graciously and freely offered to each and every one of us that we might most fully recognize ourselves as the sacred, all ways, all days....

Please feel free to observe and interact with the 13 Moon image in your own creative brilliance to further the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health and balance of all life, now and forever more. Be it known that the 13 Moon Inner and Outer Calendar of Days and Nights remains in a state of vital flux and growth, as does and will your experience of it as it seats and integrates the energetic daily messaging of the Father Sky Sun and imbues us with the necessary mannas by which to live and function, In A GOOD WAY!

May I suggest you initiate and physically create a Calendar of your own beauty? I invite you to enter images and writings to this site that we, The Contemporary Wisdom Keepers might continue to live and grow together in the Community to which we hue.

Beloved, we each mirror a unique aspect of beauty, truth and sacredness...for this I offer humble feelings of recognition and gratitude..

In the Spirit of Art and Beauty,
Dawn Woman

How To Fully Activate Pineal Gland Antennas (choose #5) by Drunvalo Melchizedek

Contributed by Dr. David Busch:
I once had an experience, at my first ceremonial adventure of this lifetime, around 1987, on Mic Mac Land in rural Vermont. This grandmother "happened" to hear me play one of my Native American flutes at a psychology conference in Atlanta, and she invited me to this gathering. At the time, I didn't even know such traditional gatherings still existed. I arrived late at night in a misting rain, and awoke before dawn to the sound of quiet singing. I followed the sound through the still misting rain to discover a dozen or so people under a little pavilion, a beautiful ageless grandmother from Canada, presiding. She said, "Now I'm going to sing a song to ask the grandmothers to help us." I closed my eyes as she sang, and thought of my two sweet grandmothers to whom I was so close; one half-Choctaw, the other one-quarter Creek and one-quarter Cherokee. Suddenly they were there, on either side of me, plain as day.. After a moment of awe, for the first time ever, I thought of Their grandmothers, and then there were four more sweet familiar loving women around me. And then, Their grandmothers... I found myself in a crowd of familiar women who loved me. Tears poured down my face like a faucet.. I was Home.

This morning, I wrote....

When a wise woman crosses over, she may take on the responsibility of facilitating the spiritual unfoldment of her grandchildren. I believe she would then put the most attention on the ones who paid the most attention to Her. So let's be more aware of our guardian angel/grandmother/spirit guides, and never in a pretentious or exaggerated way. It's magical enough, as is.

It only follows that the spirit grandmother would then bond with her great grandchildren when they are born, and so the web expands, grandmother's spiritual response-abilities expanding with her consciousness and love, helping us all unfold into beauty with as few bumps and bruises as possible. Gratitude and humility grease the wheels.

Love flowing out through the Web, from the Center, all those hands connected, supporting us here today.

This is a good day to Live!
Hechetu welo.
I love you Gramma.

Aho Tribe,

Just got home from Gathering of Circles in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Our Will Star Heart is a past speaker and this was the twentieth anniversary of the event. I was asked to do a workshop that Bear Heart and I did for many years, but, I decided to alter it a bit. Another friend and past speaker for this event is Melinda Garcia, PhD. When I told Melinda that I was going to have the participants come forward to say "whose shoulders they have stood upon" to be the people they are today, she offered another point of view. Being a Panamanian indigenous person, she always seems to give me a way to look at and say things in a beautiful, nature honoring way. Melinda said, " I see my life as a tapestry made up of all my ancestors. I am pulling the threads forward on this tapestry to continue to weave the picture set forth before me."

Her words inspired me to bring my Dream Catcher to the gathering to represent the larger web of life. I tied 4 strings on it. As each person came forward to share about an ancestor or mentor who influenced their life, I had them make a prayer tie to tie onto the Dream Catcher's strings which stretched out about four feet. We wound up with a beautiful assortment of colorful ties, each representing an elder who gave a gift to these loved ones, and, consequently all of us, including the 'more-than'humans'.Of course we offered the prayer ties to the Fire at the end with a prayer of gratitude.

I'd like to share the following, written about the workshop (WaterSpirit's We Are Not Alone Workshop at Gathering Of Circles 2014) by poet Sheri Young:

Whose threads have you been pulling forward in life?
On whose shoulders did you stand?
Tell the stories of theones
Who lifted you and held your hand.

Tobacco, cloth and string
A prayer bundle makes
Tied to the living web
We must participate

In the creation of
The story we will live
The story we will tell
The story we will give

We honor these gifts of love, compassion,
perseverance, bravery, strength, musical vibration,
wisdom, eloquence and empathy
passed onto us from those who held us up.
