Healing Ancestral Grief:
        Many carry ancestral trauma manifesting as behavioral patterns from one generation to another. This frequently shows up as depression but can express as any not so good habits or behaviors, such as addictions, excesses, family black sheep, anger, anti-social patterns, avoidances, hereditary diseases, etc. We recognize it as ancestral when we can see it among various family members in multiple generations. The time to heal this is now so that we can better handle the current earth changes.
Healing requires recognition that this exists, acceptance that it’s not unique to individuals but is shared by others [this is healing in itself], looking at its expression in our lives, accepting the situation then forgiving and letting it go.
        A series of four 2-hour sessions will be held at Old Dutch Church, Kingston, NY, on May 16 & 30. June 6 & 20, [Weds.] 6 to 8 pm. Facilitated by Etaoqua, a M’hicanu grandmother.
        All are welcome. No charge. RSVP Etaoqua@juno.com.

    Sovereignty
        True sovereignty is making our own individual life choices. To do so, we need to be aware of the available choices. One of the most significant is our basic view of self and others. This can be expressed as:
Are we of service to self or of service to others?
        Service to self = my comfort, my profit, me first, I know best.
        Service to others = RESPECT for all: Respect, Equal, Sharing, People first. Everyone Cooperating Together.
        Do we cooperate with others rather than compete? Do we share what we have with those around us? We are rarely 100% one or the other. But which do we favor most of the time? Service to others does not mean putting others before self. Rather, it includes the welfare of others as part of our own for we are all related.

Love Banishes Fear!

Do You Know? - Alqonquins had regular
gatherings called by the Pauwau, a person who
helped people maintain their physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual health. These gatherings were often held in
conjunction with Earth happenings several times a year and
lasted for about 10 days. There were talks during the day with
drumming/dancing at night. There were also annual international get togethers, the basis of the modern powwow. Anyone interested
in helping with such a gathering [one day only]
this summer, please contact Etaoqua.
