A Message from Star Wolf: "I wonder if you know how important it is for each of us to awaken and to remember who we truly are and to do our part? This is it! The Universe has said, "TAG - YOU ARE IT!"
Shamanic Greetings Soul Friends of Isis Cove and Venus Rising!
Laura Wolf Walking the Fire  | The soul fires are burning brightly within the hearts of all the residents and recent visitors to Isis Cove. The Wise Wolf Councils this year were the best ever.
Wise Wolf Men  | The sacred union ceremony (when the men
come over the mountain to join the women in a symbolic ritual) took
place at the new Fire Temple on Dove Mountain.
Ryan Halas and HeatherAsh  | The gifted Fire Walk Teacher, HeatherAsh, and her stead fast assistant and fire tender, Ryan Halas, facilitated this year's ritual. One hundred and ten incredible, fiery, Wise Wolf shamanic souls walked, danced and leapt across the fires of transformation together, howling in joyful celebration under a perfect starlit night in the magical blue Smokey Mountains at Isis Cove North Carolina.
StarrFire, Judith and Anyaa  | We're sending out big wolf howls and our immense gratitude to the amazing women who organized and served the Wise Wolf Women's Counsel: Amai, Judith, Ruby, Kathy, Bonnie, Deb Irestone, and Anyaa, and to our Shamanic Songstresses: Jeri, Thea and Edith, and to our very own Shamanic Photo Minister, Pat Shewho. Brad sends his thanks to Gary, Dennis and Chuck for helping to organize and anchor the energies for the Wise Wolf Men. Charla, Wind Daughter, Star Wolf and Amai  | A big thank you to all of the ritualists, women and men, who gave so freely of their time and energy at the Wise Wolf Councils, to all the volunteers, and to all those who attended - about 150 this year, including men and women!
In the midst of all the changes wrought from the inner and outer fires, I have spent 8 weeks on the road this year sharing the amazing healing transformational power of Shamanic Breathwork. It is really incredible what folks experience from a few minutes of SBW breathing, sitting in a chair right in the middle of a bookstore, with the Spiral CD playing, the music that is included with my new book, Shamanic Breathwork: Journeying Beyond the Limits of the Self! When folks share about their journeys it often brings tears to our eyes and fills our hearts with happiness to witness the many gifts that come to people as they awaken the shaman within. Brad, Ruby, our Venus Rising Shamanic Ministers and Breathwork Facilitators and I are all truly passionate about sharing this sacred work. Shamanic Breathwork has brought many miraculous changes to our lives. We are eager to offer this experience to others who wish to shape-shift their outer reality. There are many wonderful transformational opportunities and events coming up that we want you to know about.
This week I am on my way to New York City for the Book Expo America where thousands of folks will be attending. I will be at my publishers booth, Inner Traditions International. Please be sure to stop by on Wednesday or Thursday to see Brad and me and to get an autographed copy of Shamanic Breathwork. I will also be at the East West Bookstore on Wednesday evening for a book signing and at the ACA Gallery in Chelsea on Thursday evening, presenting a live Shamanic Breathwork journey. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones in NYC!
Ruby Falconer, co-author of our recently published new book, Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, is hitting the road this summer. Don't miss her dynamic presentation and experiential SEA journey with the Ancient Neteru of Shamanic Egypt. Be sure to click on the links in this newsletter to follow her schedule.
On our way to the International New Age Trade Show in Colorado in June, Brad and I will be back at the Sedona Temple on June 24, offering a full day of Shamanic Breathwork Healing and Transformation!
This summer we will continue to offer our premier S.H.I.P. Shamanic Healing Initiatory Processes at Isis Cove! These five-day healing initiatory events are truly life changing. If you take all four S.H.I.P. events within two years you may be ordained as a Shamanic Minister. Upon completion you are eligible for your Apprentice-S.H.I.P., which certifies you as a Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator.
You will not want to miss Wind Daughter's return to Isis Cove when Venus Rising hosts her for the Bear Tribe Medicine Wheel Gathering, featuring Paige Bryant, Iris Bradley and Freeman Owl. Many wonderful healing rituals and ceremonies will be held during this time along with drumming, singing and dancing in the sacred wheel.
As you can see there is an explosion of energy propelling the Shamanic Breathwork out into the world and I do know that it is time! We are in the times that we have been waiting for and we must discover and utilize ways to drop the old self and be born anew into the new aeon that awaits us. Our destiny is much bigger than what most of us realized it would be, but our souls have always known we had a soul contract for this exact moment in Earth's history/herstory. I wonder if you know how important it is for each of us to awaken and to remember who we truly are and to do our part? This is it! The Universe has said, "TAG - YOU ARE IT!" We are here by divine appointment and the tribes are gathering as we remember that the power to heal our world and ourselves has always been right here inside of each of us.
My sincere prayer is that anyone who is feeling the shamanic stirring within will take the action that is needed during this time and not put off any longer doing what you feel called to do. Nothing is more important for me than to make the changes that I know are mine to make. I make a commitment each day of my life to keep walking through the fires of transformation and to assist those who are ready and sincere to walk through them with me. When you are ready I am here. Let me know and we will dance in the flames together, breathing our way into a whole new life.
Are you Ready? I am! In Love and Gratitude . . . Keep Breathing, Star Wolf

Family of Origin and The Shadow
July 9 - 13, Isis Cove, NC August 21 - 24, Kansas City
|
"Family of Origin and The Shadow are powerful initiations, even for individuals who have done many years of therapy, counseling and other forms of inner work." Linda Star Wolf
Our families truly are the "gift that keeps on giving." Whether we were overtly hurt and abused, or grew up in a loving, supportive environment, all of us carry wounds from our childhood. We learn from our parents, family members, teachers and churches that certain aspects of our personality are more acceptable than others. In this way, we learn to willingly open to some parts of our essential self while denying and avoiding other parts. This denial is painful and wounding to our soul. These wounds re-surface in our adulthood as the contents of our shadow - those unloved, unacknowledged aspects of self. The shadow contains within it both that which we are ashamed of as well the creativity that we are afraid to authentically own and express.
In this workshop we will explore the connection between our childhood environment and our own personal shadow. Using the powerful transformational tool of the Shamanic Breathwork™ Process, ritual, art, music and deep processing, we will reclaim those unloved, unacknowledged parts of self and open to a new level of wholeness.

Sun Bear's Medicine Wheel Ceremony
July 23 - 25, Isis Cove, NC

The late Sun Bear with Wind Daughter  | A gathering born of the vision of the late Sun Bear, Sacred Teacher of the Bear Tribe. Modern Medicine Wheel gatherings began in 1981 near Mt. Ranier, WA. Since that time, over 61,000 people have attended more than 100 gatherings in the US, Canada and Europe. These gatherings have provided participants with a ceremonial center and an important sense of spiritual community and soul family.
Wind Daughter, Medicine Keeper for the Bear Tribe and the Panther Lodge Medicine Society, brings Sun Bear's Medicine Wheel Ceremony to Isis Cove, where she guided the placement of the great stones for our Earth Altar Medicine Wheel. At this gathering, Paige Bryant, Iris Bradley, Freeman Owl, Linda Star Wolf and Brad Collins will also share their unique shamanic teachings. We will dance, sing, and offer prayers through many rituals and ceremonies, including the Pipe, the Lodge and the Medicine Wheel. This event is not to be missed!
