Steve Bull Steve holds a Masters of Divinity and a Masters of (Clinical) Social Work. He worked as a Christian missionary for 16 years, pioneering two works: in the inner city of San Francisco as an outreach to impoverished Central American refugees; the other in the remote parts of Eastern Oregon to cowboys and ranchers. Following his ministries, Steve worked as a psychotherapist for 19 years, holding a license in Clinical Social Work. Steve also functioned as a Social Worker and Chaplain for Hospice over a number of years. Experiences in ministry, psychotherapy, and hospice motivated Steve to integrate his understanding of spirituality, religion, and his professional training through the study of Shamanism. How are people healed who are deeply, traumatically wounded on a soul/spirit basis, such as the veterans with whom Steve worked? How do people grow and enhance a connection with their spirit during their lifetime and then easily cross to the next life? How are people physically healed by working with their spirit in the physical/spirit realms? These and other questions have excited Steve’s heart and mind and continually led him to learn and access the spirit world. The authorship of this book has come out of the deep questioning that provoked Steve’s thinking.

In 2015, Kevin Krenitsky, MD began the process of withdrawing from the constant focus on the external experience of working to obtain more... more money, status, etc.. After my position as Chief Commercial Officer at Foundation Medicine (FMI) successfully ended, I continued to work as the President of a small biotech company for a year and a half, but the pull to go "inward' became too great. In 2017, we sold our home and moved down to southwest Florida where we arranged our life around a full time pursuit of spirituality. At first, this was a continuation of the deeper principles of A Course in Miracles, but I quickly hit a roadblock there as well. That prompted another great "willingness" and this willingness led me to discover the direct path to the recognition of our true nature.
At that time, Kevin was going through an extremely difficult withdrawal from decades of taking anti-anxiety medication and one day while sitting in meditation, and in the midst of seemingly overwhelming anxiety, the mind completely stopped, dissolving into its source. In that timeless instant, all concepts were resolved. This was not an experience but rather the absence of all experience leaving only pure being. In this instant, all labels such as holy spirit, consciousness, presence, Tao, etc., were known and experienced as our eternal nature, which is happiness itself. Five years later, after considerable integration of this recognition, I wrote The Still Point to help others recognize the ever present reality of their true nature of peace and happiness.
Thepracticalshaman.com
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kevin Krenitsky is a medical doctor and author of The Still Point. Despite leading a life deemed outwardly "successful", he lived with a deep background of anxiety, fear, and stress that waxed and waned since early childhood. At the age of forty, in the midst of decades of suppressing tremendous inner and outer conflict, he reasoned there must be another way. This 'willingness' led to a decade of studying non-duality by way of A Course in Miracles. In 2015, at the height of a successful business career as Chief Commercial Officer at Foundation Medicine (FMI), Kevin turned away into relative isolation, and found the direct path to recognizing ones true nature. He wrote The Still Point to help others find their eternal nature, which is happiness itself.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Many people live lives riddled with outright anxiety and fear. Instead of happiness and ease being the normal state of existence, they experience happiness as only brief moments of joy, when some desire has been temporarily fulfilled. But it does not have to be this way; happiness can be recognized as our natural state of being.
According to Krenitsky, we are in the midst of the biggest wave of awakening or self-realization this planet has ever seen. Our unconscious living has not only created stress, anxiety, wars, and famine; our choices have brought us to the edge of mass destruction. The earth has suffered greatly from our collective human unconsciousness.
In The Still Point, Krenitsky shows us a better way. He shows us how to discover and live our lives in alignment with our true self. More than just a mental concept, the Still Point is a felt experience of recognizing our own self-aware being. When the Still Point becomes obscured by giving exclusive focus to the noise of the outside world, we lose our feelings of peace and happiness.
Engaging and thought-provoking, The Still Point takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, ultimately leading to the recognition that our self-aware nature is happiness and peace itself.https://authorkevinkrenitsky.com/

I struggled as things that appeared so clear were not aligning in reality. Unconscious patterns, ancestral, karmic and past life issues all came to the forefront. It felt like I was wading through an alternate reality that had me feeling weighed down with a stuck anchor. This process took years before the sun started to bring clarity and clear skies. Life’s spiritual awakening journey continues now with clear vision. At present I am Wind Walking with the Wind Clan as I invite the winds and writing in my life as I open to new channels ready to stream forth.

Nature-based traditions and practices have been shown to help people with substance use and co-occurring disorders heal and navigate long-term recovery. Evidence-based nature practices are derived from the applied practice of the emergent field of ecopsychology, developed by Theodore Roszak. Nature-based therapeutic practices stem, in part, from the belief that people are part of the web of life and that we are not isolated or separate from our environment. Ecopsychology is informed by systems theory, and provides individuals with an opportunity to explore their relationship with nature—an area that can be overlooked in many other types of treatment or therapy. While some professionals teach and practice ecopsychology exclusively, other practitioners incorporate aspects of nature-based traditions into their existing practices. The Four Cardinal Winds are persistent structures used for organizing human experience, as evidenced in early cave art and worldwide mythology. Baribeau will demonstrate a brief guided journey experience, which will allow participants to pinpoint their bearings and quantify their experience using a tool called the Awakening Compass, developed with symbols from seven ancient wisdom traditions. Attendees will explore transformational tools based in ancient wisdom teachings, designed to nourish mind, body, heart, while acknowledging the spirit’s unlimited capacity to heal.

Award winning writer Maia Toll has been many things— a horseback riding teacher, a clinical herbalist, and (oddly) a university professor— but by far her favorite title is author. Her best-selling Wild Wisdom series ( The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary, & The Illustrated Crystallary ) offers a glimpse into the knowings of the natural world and the wilds within ourselves. Maia contemplated these insights during her yearlong apprenticeship to a traditional healer in Ireland. Though apprenticeship sounds terribly romantic, it was most often lonely, leaving Maia plenty of time to listen to the ravens, roses, and rocks. She quickly learned that the world was a whole lot bigger than her human-centric upbringing had led her to believe. When not obsessively reading books and “talking” to trees, stones, and her two dogs, Maia drinks copious amounts of tea and helps run Herbiary, a multi-city natural wellness and sacred living store she owns with her partner Andrew. She teaches and blogs to an international following at maiatoll.com where she constantly reminds people that using critical thinking skills and talking to flowers are not mutually exclusive activities.

Topic Questions with ideas of where me might go (More than 30 minutes here) What are the challenges healers and spiritual people face in trying to bring their medicine with them into the world. We often separate our medicine time from "normal life" divorcing shaman work or healing work from everyday life, Day Jobs etc. and feel disconnected. o "This isn't who I am" o Fear of being judged as woo-woo Not having a clear sense of boundaries. o Feeling like we have to heal everything. Taking on other people's work for them
What helps that? Setting clear intentions or visions for how you want to walk in the world You don't have to proclaim it to do it. Knowing that every interaction can be healing or depleting Your mission each day can be small. Knowing that we do our work when we show up Bring your blessings with you.
Example: I bless each proposal I send out for an engineering firm I work with. I have a higher win rate than many of my peers. Is this because I am a great writer? I am. But could it also be the secret sauce of having a shaman envision the connection as a loving win for all? (We could do more storytelling of how we have shifted things by presence and using tools rather than a "how to") How do you bring your medicine when you work in jobs you have worked Renee? A lot of sensitive people get depleted out in the world. How do you keep from spreading yourself too thin? Prayers or space opening Having grounding and clearing practices Rituals for coming home and disconnection Compassion for being human Mentors and Friends to brain storm and debrief with.
