We are doing our official completion ceremony for the 90 day Medicine Wheel Journey on Monday April 9. I will burn some sage in the tipi, and Blew Thunder and I will sing some songs, and greet the Ancestors with gratitude for the completion of our 7th year of healing the constitutional pattern.
I remember an amazing observation by an indigenous elder, who spoke of the significance of 7 generations. He said that we have the responsibility of protecting the next 7 generations, because they will carry the impact of our choices with them. According to this elder, each generation can heal for the past 7 generations, and nearly all of our challenges in life were set in place up to 7 generations back in our heritage. He talked about healing for our Ancestors, and that most of the healing we will do in our lives is not for our own issues, but for those of our Ancestors.
I was amazed, many years later, to discover that science was finding that it takes exactly 7 generations to clear genetically modified elements from the DNA of plants. No matter what is done to them, as long as they are able to produce viable seed, plants will revert back to their original genetic purity by the 7th generation. The power and persistence of life is so wondrous.
My heart is filled with the deepest gratitude for those of you who have also been on an intentional 7 year journey with the self, willing to uncover, discover, and recover; the past, the gifts, the patterns. I honor myself, and each of you, for the choice to live a life of healing and ascension. And I look forward to the growth and fulfillment that is still to come...
In Love and Gratitude, Kathryn

Purpose and Peace
The big picture makes a permanent appearance in my daily life these days. As I continue to connect with people and offer up my gifts of love thru healing touch and reconnection to the physical body and mother earth thru the power of choice and the foods we eat, my own chaotic energy continues to soften. I am finding that I am able these days to really choose where I put my energy, I am able to cut unnecessary cords that at one time served as huge drains and fueled anxiety and I am able to empty myself out and with complete acceptance let myself rest. It is so funny to me now how much time I have spent fighting the wisdom of my own Body and Spirit. Today as I walk my path with surrender and humility, knowing now that I really never was in control like I had thought or wanted, I am able to give and receive so much more and on such a different level then ever before. I don't know why certain things happen but I am able to trust that there is a reason and I no longer feel the need to be attached or attempt to manipulate the outcome. I am holding the big picture of transformation upon Mother Earth close to my heart center and with each new intention, medicine wheel balance or preyer I send out another being reaches out to me asking for healing support. It is a beautiful balance. I am in love with life right now, I feel I have more love within me then I even know what to do with!
I should note that all these things that I am speaking about are in direct alignment with the palace I am working on this 90 day journey and are my 90 day intentions manifested in the physical world! I am home and I feel at peace within myself. I know who I am and where I am. I understand my mission and I am comfortable asking for guidance and support when needed. I listen and see clearly. I am in complete alignment with my higher purpose, my physical body and my mission upon Earth at this time.
I give Gratitude to the Sacred Ones, my Ancestors of the Sky and of the Earth. I honor and acknowledge all those Divine and Etheric Beings who are working with and thru me to support the healing and transformation of humanity upon Mother Earth at this time. It is my greatest joy to be of service and to support this unweaving of the old and re-birth of the new. To offer my assistance in whichever way serves the highest good and highest light of all beings, elemental, plant, animal, human, mineral, alike!
I give Gratitude to the Plant Spirits for their clear guidance and healing energies and tremendous support!
I honor and support my Earth Teachers and those who have gifted me these messages and healing treasures!
I walk in beauty mending the hoop of the people as I go...
Aho,
Gypsy Bird Woman

Cinderella Story
In 2007, I walked into the studio room on Tyonek drive to attend a workshop that Michael and Kathryn simply called the, bridge to living your dreams. Scared and trembling a shell of a being I was, and the epitome of a star having been dropped from the sky not knowing who she was or where she belonged. Without knowing what I was doing I followed this unseen, unidentified, unnamable feeling, that in time would reveal itself to me and I would come to know and relay on it as guidance, into the little classroom that would change my life forever.
In 2012, I walked into a classroom on Ptarmigan St in Bethel, Alaska. Confidant and assured I spoke as a teacher, a carrier of the messages so carefully entrusted to me. Bestowed by my great teachers Michael and Kathryn Sharp, Paul Pitchford, Ana Forrest, and countless other people who have over the years crossed my path and left memorable footsteps on my heart, all weaved together into a symphony with one purpose, to mend the hoop of the people and bring healing and restoring to our great mother earth.
The response from the participants in my little juicing class, the confirmation of resonance of the message I offered by their setting up spinal therapy sessions, signing up for more classes and nutritional consults, their expressed interest in volunteering to work the land this summer if ever there is a need for extra support. My awe in how one evening talking about juicing, listening to your body and touching lightly on essential oils led to an awakened desire for them to re-connect with the earth herself by putting their hands in the soil. My heart is singing and I am buzzing like never before. I am a teacher, the one thing I have always wanted to be but never had the courage, until now. What started as a leap of faith into a workshop called the bridge to living your dream has in fact over the last 5 years built me my bridge. I crossed it last night and stepped l strongly into my dream reality. It has come true, I am living my dream and getting paid for it!?
From the quiet girl in the back, who I was sure was not resonating with my class, she said very little and sat still faced the entire evening at the end walked up to me and said “I am so glad you are here”. My heart melted and I felt more purpose in that moment then I ever though possible!!! I am in love with my work, this is what I am meant to do no questions asked, this is my gift to offer, this is my living dream.
I bow down in humility and gratitude for my Great Teachers and all those beings who have crossed my path to help me get to where I am today. I am speechless that this moment that I have both chased and feared over a my lifetime is finally here.
All my love,
Aho

Time
I felt this new journey coming and began in a time of the mind with a feeling that I would catch up. What is; pieces of the puzzle falling into place so magically and without thought, all in perfect timing, that of the universe rather than my mind.
I returned to my physical home on the day of my birth, February 22, an important day in this year of 2012, from an adventure into the past. The final pieces of my last journey around the wheel in place and understanding intact. My heart wide open and free, familiar to the times I've known outside this world, outside human form.
I am still very much in the cocoon of transformation. Comfort in sleeping, dreaming, unfolding and processing. Unknown and beauty surround me while clarity and gratitude fill me.
This journey is now, in the right timing, the timing of the universe.
Aho,
Michelle

Emptiness
A new consciousness is slowly arising within my being. I am listening to the raging winds and cold grey clouds blowing through the sky. There is a vastness to this empty landscape around me that, when I give it time and soft attention, creates a depth of inner space.
Attachment burns away in a cold fire.
The preciousness of life, every breath, every being, grows.
Truth and Love become all that matters.
I am purposefully contracted into a small physical space, consciously hibernating, connecting with others only when necessary. I allow myself to sleep, and dream, and grow in the womb of protection, without holding a vision or form. I feel the form taking shape on its own, coming forth from cellular programs that are older than the Earth herself. In gratitude, I trust the divine timing of all life.

Creation.
I wrote my creation story yesterday (finally) Ive been staring at those blank pages for weeks, as many of you who've worked the book before know, its almost like the book has a timing of its own that cannot be rushed.
My creation stories from the the first four years were all very similar, almost identical when I go back and visit them now.
A baby on the path of remembering who I was and where I came from, I had borrowed a lot from other traditions and times, things that deeply resonated, and still do, with how I wanted my life to be and what I wanted to gift the world. Since discovering my mission, not much there has changed. I know (at least for right now) why I am here and the work I am to do at this stage and my stories have always embodied the same deeply held desire to guide healing and regeneration for humanity and Mother Earth.
Yesterdays story, the same theme of wanting to be of service rang true but the form in which I delivered these teachings and healing gifts was nothing like years past. The way I used to describe what I wanted and believed I needed my life and set-up to look like before I could move forward came crashing down and in its place the gem of my unique truth was reveled to me.

It is the difference between laying down roots and a solid foundation and being free to migrate as the wind dictates.
When I go back and re-read my story, it is so powerfully resonant, it feels like I've taken my entire inner core being, prana-tube, heart, all of it and smeared it onto paper, if that makes any sense.
It feels like an acknowledgment of an aspect of myself that I have embodied all along but never gave acceptance too or valued. And, let me tell you the relief I feel to have finally "figured this out" is amazing! It is so clear to me now what a huge road block this facade I was trying to force myself into becoming and identifying with was and how excitedly free I feel for this wisdom and self-acceptance. No doubt the root cause of my crooked spine (scoliosis) of forever trying to fit myself into a way of living that wasn't right for me but that others insisted was the only way to live. I bought into that story but I cut those cords now and choose for myself.

I didn't, nor have I been asking for a name but I was gifted one while writing my story. It intimates me a little bit but I feel it is important to embody this new energy and allow Sister Raven Hair (my first name) which I've loved and had for 3 years now, to fall away in completion.
I know little of my Earth ancestors but there is one word that is always used to describe the women and men of our linage that goes waaayyy back and has managed to transcend the generations. Gypsy, it is this word and the energy it embodies that has been given to me to wear and to use as a guiding force upon my life path at this time. I accept this and do it with great honor, humility and joy.
Here is a tid bit from my story..
I am Gypsy Bird Woman, a lover of freedoms and migrations, a member of the bird clan, being free to fly and explore is of utmost importance to me. I love and value this about myself. I am a member of multiple communities with a keen ability to attune to the individual and unique needs of all beings there, plant, human, animal and earth alike.
I am Gypsy Bird Woman, I carry my medicine bag upon my back heeding the call of the dark pockets upon the earth. Syncing with the currents of the wind, I find my way there and from my bag release a rainbow of brightness and beauty, awakening sleeping souls and restoring earth connections lost. A keeper of the earth I know my true home as my bare feet upon her soil!
Aho,
Gypsy Bird Woman

Human Timing vs. Divine Timing
It is freaking cold out here! No joke, all the sewer and water pipes are frozen and most people in town and the surrounding villages are without running or flushing water and have been for some weeks now. I'm fortunate to have all the fixings (buckets, straw and wood chips) to build a nice clean composting toilet but showers are out.
My ability to take clients and host workshops is officially impaired and all classes out of my own space have been postponed.
I exclaimed my frustrations with the Divine the other day "you wanted me out in Bethel to teach and do this work and I've just hit road block after road block, what do you want from me!!?" feeling defeated and cheated and questioning have I once again impetuously made the wrong decision and should I really be somewhere else, the same habitual thinking that is always so prevalent in my life. I thought of Michael and Kathryn and their arrival at White Sage, how shocking it must have been and how much initial effort, intention and daily commitment it took to clear and balance the land there, physically and energetically all the while having many of their human comforts that they had grown accustomed to while living at DiamondHeart taken away. No running water or a clean bathroom or access to the quality food and entertainment sources they were used to. Their journey comforted me and soothed my irritations of not being able to live the way I am used to and to be grateful for what I do have in this moment. It feels like a sort of fire walk or initiation upon my chosen path, especially since I have been out in the freezing cold day after day placing a special essential oil blend in the wheel, giving gratitude for the leaving energies and visualizing the anchoring new energies into place and of course asking for the cold to break, all done under 2 minutes which is about how long it takes for my eyelids to freeze together:)
The other night I dreamed of an indigenous village, I was pregnant, about 4 months along and I wanted to leave the village to go elsewhere to have and raise my baby. I didn't feel like the village people were ready to receive my child so I began to leave and as a result I miscarried my baby, in the dream it was a big bloody mess everywhere as the villagers rushed to my aid, I desperately tried to save my small child but it was just too early and there was nothing I could do. In the dream I felt like I had the revelation that if I had just trusted what I could not see, didn't act so rashly out of fear and allowed the gestation process to unfold in its natural timing then the devastation and loss could have been avoided.
I understand and see more clearly now that there is a bigger picture and pieces that need to be in place before certain actions, outward community actions can be taken. I honor that and now excitedly move forward with my earthwork assignments until the next step is revealed.
I enjoy teaching my bi-weekly yoga class thru the college and watch myself grow and become a better teacher after every session. For now, I surrender my human timing and the need to know and control and make space for what I can't see and don't know and open up to divine timing.
Blessings, wonderment and joy to you all upon the path unknown and Gratitude for Kathryn and Michael for braking trail and illuminating the path!
Aho.

I'm here.
Whew, I’m here! Working the 90 day for my 5th time around the medicine wheel. This time thru I’m balancing only one palace, the Du Mai prosperity palace which is beyond perfect for me and in complete resonance at this time.
I am back in Bethel and begin teaching yoga at the college this monday evening.
My intention is, to the best of my ability, teach truth and challenge the physical body in hopes to inspire and stimulate healing for my students by brining them back into their bodies.
With a break in the -20 below weather today (its 4 above) I seized the opportunity to reconnect and being working with the nature spirits and the large alien entity that is leaving the area at this time. I buried the harmonizer, a balance, intention, a gift for the land and a single drop of rose otto in the center of the medicine wheel as directed by my guides and now I am basking in the beauty of the sun flooding my living room and giving gratitude for the blanket of clouds covering the sky and warming the air.
A huge shift is without a doubt upon us and I feel super-charged and so excited everyday by the power and desire to create positive change in an area that has been dimmed and bleak for so long. I see it and feel it so clearly that I am sure it has already happened.
I am excited about this 90 day journey and feel so honored to be a part of this group and to know each and everyone of you. I am in love with potatoes right now and for the first time in my life excited to speak publicly and share everything I have gathered and learned over the last 5 years with those ready to receive the message I carry.
May we all walk in Beauty, Aho
PS my web-site is up, not 100% done but are they ever, feel free to check it out and give me feedback if something doesn’t make sense or whatever else you might notice that I may have missed. Much Gratitude to each and everyone of you! Muuuahhh (aka kissing noises;)

Welcome to the Sacred Talking Circle
Once again it is that time of year where we take 90 days to focus on the process of clearing and transforming our constitutional patterns. I am very excited, as every year has brought me an increased level of well-being, self understanding, and alignment to purpose. I am beginning my 7th year this year, and only just a few days ago have I had a clear vision of where this program is going and what it will become.
This year I am guided to diverge from the normal process of releasing one of the extra meridians, and wearing gemstones on very different points. My guidance showed me that the whole purpose of the 7th year is related, but different. This year Michael and I will not be working on any palace, but instead will be unifying our personal frequencies and transforming any resistance in body, mind, and spirit, to the embodiment of unity consciousness.
I am very grateful and excited to do this work, and excited for the shift that is already beginning for us. I intend to begin the core foods fast next week, and will start the rest of the program at the same time. Welcome to each of you who has found truth and value in this process,and may this year bring your best transformational experience ever!
In Love,
Kathryn
