Highlights This Issue: Free Talks Free Musical Performance Path Home at the Boulder Creek Festival By Gwilda Wiyaka There is the world where most of us reside. We will call it ordinary reality. Ordinary reality actually is created by our agreement and belief systems. The shaman's role is to visit different levels of consciousness to bring back information and healing that transcends the limitations of our current mutually agreed upon reality. What I find interesting is that most wars are the result of disagreement about realities. We jealously guard our own reality while condemning and casting out those who do not line up with it. Even our churches have become fragmented into numerous denominations over disagreement concerning reality or "truth". There is much dissention and discontent generated over debates as to who is right and what is truth. The resulting polarization effectively blocks us from evolving, in mass, to a higher or more enlightened state of consciousness. It is not that anyone's reality is "wrong" it is their truth at the level they are at and needs to be honored and accepted as such. It does not mean we need to accept it as our own and if we find it hurtful or damaging to us we certainly need to discern and maintain appropriate proximity from them. It is important that more than one reality exists. The reality of the heart cell is to pump while the reality of the liver cell is to filter. Both realities, existing in different spaces within one body are necessary for life. The shaman's role has been to help different realities coexist in relative harmony, this is spiritual healing. When our realities are too far out of balance from the reality held in nature, we become ill and our lives dysfunctional. This is because we can not draw upon our own Path Homes to sustain us in the circle of life. This leads us to the current state of affairs. We, as a culture, have gotten so far away from the way life works as to endanger our continued existence on the planet. Our realities have become so skewed that we live in trauma and traumatize most things around us. This drops our overall frequency and further blocks evolution. This is partly because we no longer have shamanic practices in our culture nor have we had for generations. To compound this, the shamanic practices that we are starting to unearth and implement were designed for another culture at another time. While profound and effective, they often don't translate well to our modern day lives. Translation and understanding is imperative for integration of the healing. The good news is that there are no shortages of gifted individuals suitable to serve as shamanic healers. If you are drawn to read this article and interested in shamanic practices, you may well be one yourself. All is needed is a willingness to evolve through your own process and healing, solid training in the ancient practices, help accessing and wielding your personal gifts and consistent reliable connection to spiritual guidance. My life purpose is to provide those very things to our gifted ones. To train our modern day "bridges" so needed in these times of rapid evolution. It is from this purpose I built Path Home Shamanic Arts School. It is here the ancient skills are linked with our modern day practitioners to create the shamanic skills so needed by our culture today. If you, or anyone you know has interest in entering into shamanic training please contact us. Your service is desperately needed by a world askew. This training will not only change your life but it will also put you in a position to help change our world.

She offers these original songs to all her relations as healing tools of love and joy. It is her hope that they assist in bringing peace and hope to a rapidly changing world. All profits from the sale of this CD go to organizations which support the first Nations People (Native Americans) North Shield is available at Path Home Shamanic Arts School's book store in our clinic at 4700 Sterling Dr. Suite K, Boulder Colorado "One People One Nation" Ancient and Modern Shamanic Songs By Gwilda Wiyaka This charming and inspiring CD was originally intended to teach indigenous songs to students of Path Home Shamanic Arts School's Drum Circle Leadership Program while still honoring the oral traditions. Fully expecting to cut it in a weekend or two, Gwilda Wiyaka and her producer Dan Polizzi entered Dan's sound studio. Two years and many artistic epiphanies later, One People was the result.

The next upcoming ones are listed below: Daughters of the Drum By: Lynn Cody Wigle and Gwilda Wiyaka These two dynamic women have joined forces to bring you a concert of original works and traditional Native American songs. Gwilda and Cody's drums and voices first rose together in harmony over head waters of the South Platt River in Colorado. They met while attending a country wide drumming event designed to unify our prayers and stabilize Yellow Stone National Park in the summer of 2004. "From the first time our voices joined I knew we had sung together before and would do so again. This could well be the beginning of another exciting work. Please join us and lend your heart to the project." Gwilda Wiyaka Cody's "North Shield" and Gwilda's "One People One Nation" CDs will be available to purchase at the concert. This concert is open to men, women and children in the spirit of true community. A drumming circle will follow their performance so please bring your drum and join in. When: Thursday June 16, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm Where: Path Home, 4700 Sterling Dr Suite K, Boulder, CO Cost: Free/Donation Pattern Tracing May 20 4:00 pm - May 23 1:30 pm, 2005 Allenspark, CO Fragmentation and the resulting rift in our personal space create specific reoccurring patterns and events that run like threads through our lives. This unique technique, developed by Gwilda over her 20 years as a shamanic practitioner, teaches the method of journeying into life patterns to track down soul loss and hidden judgments that cripple our lives. Time will be spent on honing our middle world journey skills to better "read" a client or ourselves in order to locate clues and insights into sole loss and the resulting compensations. This information, in turn, can be used to help integrate soul parts and better understand the unconscious use of personal energy. We will work on empathic listening skills as well as spiritual counseling methods that are the hallmark of this powerful work. Prerequisites: Lower World Shamanic Journey, Upper World Shamanic Journey, Power Animals & Helping Spirits, Sacred Space, and Beginning Soul Retreival Lower World June 11, 2005 10:00 am - 5:30 pm This one day, nonresidential program walks the beginning student through the skills required to enter the shamanic trance in order to access one's own spiritual guidance and information. It serves as a prerequisite for all of Path Home's more advanced programs and classes. Power Animals & Helping Spirits June 12, 2005 10:00 am - 5:30 pm A consistent and reliable working relationship with your Power Animals and Helping Spirits is the backbone of all shamanic practices. In this workshop, we will explore our personal style and develop sound methods of relating to and cooperating with these most precious friends. This class is also a one-day nonresidential. Prerequisites: Upper or Lower World Journey Wilderness Program July 8, 3:00 pm - July 12, 3:00 pm Classes will deeply involve working shamanicly with nature and all her elements.
