UFO Phenomenon, Connection to Shamanic Initiations, Native American Worldviews & Non-ordinary states of Consciousness

Join us for an exploration of the UAP/UFO phenomenon and its connections to shamanic practices, Native American worldviews, and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Some topics we explored include:- UFO culture past and present- The kinship worldview and extraterrestrial contact in Native American traditions- The link between UAP encounters and non-ordinary states of consciousness- The connections between “alien abduction” accounts and Shamanic initiation- Profound value shifts in UAP contact experiences
This is an introduction to the upcoming 6-week class starting March 6, 2024. More info at https://www.thesanctuaryheal.com/event-info/the-shamanic-worldview-and-ufos-uap-et-contact-ancient-wisdom-and-new-paradigms
Kimberly S. Engels holds a PhD in philosophy and is a past participant in The Sanctuary’s Path of the Warrior course. She is currently a philosophy professor at Molloy University as well as the Director of Research and Development at the John E. Mack Institute. She has taught courses on the Phenomenology of UFOs/UAP through the Society for UAP Studies, as well as courses on Native American philosophy at her university.
Her academic research centers on the lived experience of individuals who report UAP encounters, as well as ET contact, as an ongoing lived reality in Native American societies and cultures. In the Summer of 2023, she conducted a formal study of individuals who reported contact with non-human intelligences (NHIs), and how such experiences had influenced their beliefs, values, and worldviews.
This research suggested that UAP/UFO encounters are deeply intertwined with contact with non-ordinary realities and new paradigms for understanding consciousness.

Meet the Elder, Journey with the 21 Sacred Dream Circles with Zelda Hotaling

Join us for a fascinating conversation filled with magic on the Journey with the 21 Sacred Dream Circles Great Open Door, with Zelda Hotaling.
Exploring the vision, inspiring Dreams, and insightful teachings as each one was woven with sacred geometry designs. How each one was created and opened the doorways into many worlds.
Following her path Zelda navigated through these different realms, That is when she found her way back home.
Zelda was raised in the Native American culture of the Haudenosaunee, on the Kahnawaka Mohawk reservation in Canada. She regularly visited her grandmother and other elders, who made up her first teachers, in the traditions and sacred ways of her people.

Embrace the Darkness: The Spiritual Significance of the New Moon & Walking with the Dark

It's a foggy morning with a new moon above the land of The Sanctuary. Big energy shift, do you feel it? My dreams were wild and empowering. But how comfortable are we to truly embrace the darkness? What can the ancient wisdom of Andean Cosmology teach us in this ancestral process?
 
We often celebrate the full moon, but I have personally experienced deep shifts and cosmic magic with the new moons, too. New Moon symbolizes a fresh start, a blank slate. In its darkness, we find the potential for growth and renewal. Light will grow from this darkness following the cosmic cycles we are so weaved with. Its energy urges us to focus inward and align with our deeper selves. The journey from darkness to light is an opportunity to set intentions, manifest goals, and begin new projects.
 
Explore with me this fascinating topic.

Bee Mystical, remembering our sacred relationship with bees to discover the hive’s shamanic secrets

In this interview with Tyler Richards & Angell Deer we explore how our broken relationship with the wild world, and specifically the bees, had us losing the magical teachings and healing coming from the hive. As we dive deeper into the world of bees, we are sharing with you some mystical aspects of bee colonies that we can only discover through a long deepening of our relationship with them. Bee Shamanism is probably as ancient as humans coming into contact with those unique insects. Enjoy the return to the bees, so you can experience the return to yourself.

What we discussed:
Nalaya's personal journey through "Dare to Love"
The shadow of the strong independent woman
Why do you keep dating the wrong people
Self-sabotage and how it prevents us from getting the love we truly desire
How to move from “protecting the heart” to “feeling secure”
What it truly means to be feminine?

How to combine shamanic and tantric practices to help enter the optimal resonance to attract your soulmate
About Nalaya:
 
Nalaya’s international upbringing has given her a very unique voice and approach to the art of intimacy. Her work is inspired by the many cultures that have shaped her. In particular, the tantric initiations she received in India, and the shamanic initiations she received in Peru are at the heart of her teachings.
 
Nalaya is passionately intrigued about all the ways we sabotage our path toward love. It's this fascination as well as her personal life's journey and its many challenges that have brought her to where she is now: living her life with the love of her life.
 
Her mission is simple: to inspire you to dare to love…

Animism, Mysticism, and the Sacred Path

Michael Kokal interviewed me on "The End of the Road podcast" and we discussed some fascinating subjects related to animism, shamanism, and the spiritual path.
 
Animism is the belief in the existence of individual spirits that inhabit natural objects and phenomena. It is a shared belief and understanding of all native people across the globe since the beginning of humanity.
 
Here are some of the subjects we discuss in this episode:
- Understanding the importance of "clear reflection" to receive wisdom
- The false idea of separation and not belonging
- How to connect to the animate world
- The path of service embedded into Nature
- The original instructions weaved into the natural world
- The vibrations and prayers of the elementals
- Hearing the settled voices
- Practicing prayers to relate
- Calling the invisible
 
And more...

Ancient Cosmology & Medicine Path with Marita One Who Catches Lightning.

Marita and I went into a deep dive into some of the essence of the medicine path. Beyond and behind the visible or the heart-lifting steps, there are many steps that are much more difficult, heartbreaking, challenging, and humbling.
 
From the deep daily connection to land, the sacred ancient practice of planting seeds, to the radical responsibility and vulnerability, we can find in this exploration we took together some immense and invaluable nuggets of wisdom.
 
In this replay of our time with Marita One Who Catches Lightning (they/them) we allowed ourselves the space to become the medicine, and remember our relationship to time, creation, and the cosmos through the Mayan calendar.
 
We explore fascinating subjects like:
Building relationships with the invisible world
Learning authentically from the natural world
Calling the teacher and what it takes to stay with the teacher
Radical responsibility and humility
The power of ancient calendars and their roles in our fate and destiny
The difficult processes and steps into the Medicine Path
The stories of cacao, corn & seeds and their role in our sacred work
The deep teachings of Ancient Cosmology
And the long process of remembering & forgetting...
Our ancestors and who we are are not only in our dreams or in our remembering but we exist as well in the forgetting. Remembering takes time and vision and so all beings have found an example or a system or an observational language they have to relate to the passing of their journey.
 
This spark inspired the creation of calendars as they relate to time, cycles, the cosmos, and creation as can be seen in the lineages of the Olmeca, Maya, Zapotec, Aztecs, and many more mesoamerican cultures.
 
Join us in this exploration, let yourself receive and feel, and let those seeds Marita planted for us grow deep and slow... So you can remember how to forget.

Cycles, Life & Death, Suffering & Hope

Mother nature is cyclical, so we are. All that is born, lives, and dies… It is not something we can control.
Embracing this knowledge helps to understand life’s fragility, the importance of being present, the wisdom of acceptance and letting go.
In this tender talk, an interview with Gabriela Dias, Tantric Birth & Death Doula, I explore how to navigate life challenges while finding meaning along the way.

The Green Witch interview on Herbal Medicine & Earth Connection Practices

The world is changing rapidly. Between Climate change, ecosystems collapse, and the broken political, economic, and social systems, our nervous systems are put under extreme pressure. Yet, your nervous system holds the key to your health and to being able to engage fully in your life.
Herbal medicine and simple rituals aid enormously in moving through these times of evolutionary transformation with more emotional ease, greater mental clarity, and physical and spiritual peace.
Nourishing herbs like oatstraw (Avena sativa) and nettles (Urtica spp.) help us find our strength. Nervines can help with pain relief, deep sleep, and clear skin. We’ll hone in on the gifts of sedating skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), uplifting St. John’s/Joan’s wort (Hypericum perforatum.

Jesus, the ultimate Shaman

Hear live from the authors of this new book that explore the bridges between the Christ healing ways and shamanism.
 
In a world increasingly perceived as overwhelming, chaotic, or even dangerous, people are being drawn to deepen their spirituality in response. Shamanism is one avenue that is becoming increasingly popular for achieving that goal.
 
Shamanism derives from millennia of worldwide, multi-cultural practices that connect the ordinary, material world to the non-ordinary world of Spirit. Today, Shamans and Shamanic Practitioners offer simple yet effective ways to help people connect with Spirit. They teach people how to move back and forth between these two worlds, whether for personal, spiritual growth or the healing of themselves, others, and the environment.
 
Jesus, the Ultimate Shaman is an easy-to-read book that covers a multitude of topics. Sally Denny and Steve Bull provide their readers with a basic introduction to Shamanism and describe many of the shamanic tools that are able to be used.

Living in Time of Prophecy with Grandmother ThreeCrow

As an elder, dreamer, and visionary, Grandmother Threecrow responds to my questions and shares insight and wisdom regarding this time of prophecy we are living in.
Here are some other questions we explored in this exceptional live online connection with Grandmother Threecrow:
- Is prophecy written in stone?- Are we helpless? Is it hopeless?- What is this timeline we are all living in and did we sign up for this? And if yes, why would we do that?- Do you believe that we are powerful co-creators and that we can create our own reality?- Do you know about the prophecy of the star children?- Do you know about the prophecy of the rainbow warriors?- Do you know about the power of word, thought and emotions?- Is humanity in a time of great change and transition?- What do you know about frequency, energy and how to use those powers?
We explored these questions and more with a deep conversation with an extraordinary elder, Grandmother Threecrow.
Grandmother Barbara Threecrow carries the legacy of her ancestors: and a linage of experiencers contactees, communicators visionaries and seers – derives from her heritage; Celt, Nanticoke Lanape/Delaware and adopted Lakota – She is a child born with a Caul, a child of the stars, healer, seer and teacher of earth ways; the way to live in harmony according to tribal consciousness and Creator’s law of one.
Grandmother is the caretaker of sacred stones – sacred bundle keeper, leader of traditional ceremony and caretaker of the Can’nupa Wakan Sacred Pipe.
Prophecy was given her over thirty years ago, that women were to return to the sacred circle to retrieve their original knowledge – to reset the code of human's fundamental nature: the blueprint of the superior intelligence and how to retrieve the ancient wisdom within our DNA – Grandmother Threecrow shares the truth of our origins, about the Star Children of today and how to see behind the curtain of this Wizards world; the matrix that generations before us were born into.
Grandmother says; We are inter-dimensional beings – we are more powerful than ever imagined –she speaks of the original agreements of the soul/spirit and our journey upon the medicine wheel of life – our purpose, place, and point of focus in regards to prophecy. She guides us on how to free ourselves from the fourth world of chaos and transition into the fifth world thousand years of peace – discloses the prophecies realized and prophecies unfolding and how and why humanity is transitioning as is the mother earth; the great ship in this cosmic realm.
We are not alone - the ancestors, the E.T's and the elementals whose presence existed from the beginning are our teachers our guides.
Grandmother speaks to our achieving of our fullest potential; higher consciousness - inner/standing, psychic extra/sensory clair-audio clair-sentient and the gifts received upon birth.  She shares the importance of our knowing that our return is to become that which we were meant to be in this present and future time/line.
She will answer the often-asked question:  why is this timeline unique and why am I here? Grandmother speaks of the mysteries the truth of the unknown the un-thinkable the unexplained - her wisdom covers a wide range of circumstances, phenomenon and the unexplained is explained from spiritual guidance; the guidance from the Grandmothers of the spirit realm who have been with her from the beginning and before.
Grandmother Threecrow share with us the prophecies unfolding, the law of one, this unique timeline regarding the Sacred Feminine the Sacred Masculine, living in the time of prophecy and our being asked to participate during these times of change and challenge. She brings to us the wisdom of those who dwell in the realm of spirit her guides and teachers known as the Grandmothers.

The Magical Call of your ancient prayer. How to listen? How to answer?

In this episode, I spoke with my friend Angell Deer.  Angell and I met last year when he hosted myself and my colleague, Merav Artzi, where we ran plant-medicine retreats at his wonderful property, The Sanctuary.  So I enjoyed being able to sit down with Angell and learn more about his story, what brought him into this work, and what he has to share.  He’s had a varied life and has an interesting perspective drawing from his own life experience and having worked in many traditions.  I think you’ll get a lot out of Angell’s sharing and his wisdom.   As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below.

“After a career that scaled the heights of corporate success as a CEO of global companies, I reached a turning point in my life – material success and trappings had not necessarily made me really happy or fulfilled. I had a big degree, a big job, and success that most people aspire for, but I was not happy. I decided to completely change my life and embarked on a journey of self-exploration and meditation that took me from working with Mother Teresa’s mission in India, to the jungles of Peru in search of finding meaning in life and fulfillment beyond the material demands of society today. Through seeking to transform my own life to live with a higher purpose, I made a life-changing commitment to helping others in their search for peace, harmony, and happiness.
During the last 10 years and my transformative journeys across Asia & South America, I had rare opportunities to study and meditate with master healers and teachers of all faiths.  I am trained in Shamanism, Reiki & Medical Reiki, Sufi Healing, Sound Healing, Meditation, Herbalism, and Breathwork.
The big transformation happened many years ago when I started to dive into the plant world with my teacher in Peru & shamanic work with Native American & Norse traditions. I started to work with specific energies and Spirits who channel to me the healing I am using today. This method mix channeling, somatic energy work, breathwork, runes, and connection to Divine masters (Archangel Michael and Christ most frequently) through prayers. It is a very powerful energy healing that can give profound results on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual trauma.  This journey of transformation is never-ending, for me too. 
In 2015, I opened The Sanctuary Healing Center on my property in the Catskills where I do in-depth work with my clients, host workshops, and cultivates the land for organic vegetable farming, medicinal plants, and honey bees.”

The Ancestral Magic of one of the last Navajo Medicine Man (Chee Ramon)

Chee Ramon knows as much, possibly more, about Navajo medicine than any man alive and now, for the first time, he has agreed to bring his knowledge to a wider audience outside his Navajo homeland of Arizona and New  Mexico. Following his visit, we recorded this video with his main / oldest student (Charles) to share about the magic we witnessed.
The reason Chee Ramon agreed to share this knowledge is that the old ways are rapidly dying. Today young people have to work in the white man's world and do not have the time or inclination to undergo the lengthy and arduous training a medicine man's apprentice requires. Fewer and fewer young people speak the Navajo language, and so the complicated concepts of Navajo medicine--and some are extremely complicated--cannot be passed on as there are no English words of equivalent meaning.
Chee's visit was intended to impart at least some traditional knowledge to the wider world, where it may still do some good, while there is still time to do so.

In This Place: Experiencing Sacred Plant Medicine Right Where You Are

Turn it up! Turn it down. Have we come to believe it must be true because it’s loud?  Lights flash and voices shout from every corner.
 
The noise is deafening, and it seems we’ve forgotten how to listen to the softer voices offering wisdom for this Shifting Now.  It seems we’ve come to believe for something to be effective it must pack a punch, require extensive travel, pause our daily life, and disrupt.  But this is not so.
 
We can experience the Sacred in this place -- right here, right now. And we will.
 
Join us as we turn it down, drop into our hearts, and tune into the softer -- but no less sacred -- voice of the plants. Together, we will listen and gather sacred plant medicine right where we are.
 
In our time together, you will be invited through conversation and participation to open to the possibility of communicating with plants and receiving sacred medicine messages while in a state of normal consciousness.
 
Space will be held for you to sit and listen with a plant, experience its essence, receive its messages, share your experience (if you choose), and be blessed by the medicine shared by others.

The Spiritual significance of Climate change with Elder Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq

My interview with Elder Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, shaman, traditional healer, storyteller, and carrier of the Qilaut (winddrum), whose family belongs to the traditional healers of the Far North from Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland.
His name means ‘The Man Who Looks Like His Uncle’. Since he was a child he was trained by his family- especially by his Grandmother Aanakasaa – for becoming a shaman.
The spiritual task given by his mother is: “Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man”.
Angaangaq bridges the boundaries of cultures and faiths in people young and old. His work has taken him to over 70 countries around the world. He conducts circles, seminars, and Aalaartiviit – traditional sweat lodges. His teachings are deeply rooted in the wisdom of the oral healing traditions of his people, which enabled people over thousands of years to survive in one of the harshest places on Earth.
Angaangaq is a Keynote-Speaker at international conferences about climate change, environment, spiritual and indigenous issues. Since a ceremony in Greenland in 2009 where the “sacred fire” has been brought back to Greenland, he is carrying the title “Angakkorsuaq” – “Great Shaman”.
“The greatest distance in the existence of Man is not from here to there nor from there to here. Nay, the greatest distance in the existence of Man is from his mind to his heart. Unless he conquers that distance he can never learn to soar like an eagle and realize his own immensity within.” Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq
