The Ecstatic Path
Answering the Call

March 10 - 15, 2020
Tierra del Sol, Oaxaca, Mexico
with Julie McIntyre
 
It is something ancient as Gaia, as rooted as a Redwood forest, as interconnected as the neural networks of plants hidden by cover of soil, as invisible as feeling that is taking place when a person feels called to a particular work.
 
It is a sacred and deeply personal thing to be called. To hear and to answer the call requires a level of personal responsibility few in our modern world are willing to pursue.
 
It is a struggle to self-hood each of us will engage in in order to reinhabit the Self.
 
It is these times that the call is strongest from Deep Earth to step away from the fray of human over-excitation to find the internal navigation skills, reserves of personal resources and the voice that is uniquely and authentically yours. First, is the return to inhabiting your animal senses and the most potent of all; the feeling sense; to re-awaken your heart to the touch of Earth upon you and in that moment you become no one but yourself, the one you were meant to be all along.
 
The river of your life has been waiting and only you can build the vessel that is seaworthy.

What am I Reading by Stephen Buhner

Vaclav Havel, A Word About Words,
New York, The Cooper Union, 1992.

I generally read three to six books and some 70 to 100 articles of one sort or another each week.

Every so often people ask what I am currently reading, so I thought that every so often I would share a few of the books, articles, or short stories that have caught my attention. I’ll start with A Word About Words by Vaclav Havel.
 
Vaclav Havel is one of my heros. I doubt he would enjoy the term but he would certainly understand why I use it. During his life, he became a hero to millions around the world – from his protest writings (often smuggled out of the country), his recurring imprisonment because of those writings, and the miracle day he was released from prison only to (that same day) be voted president of, what was then, Czechoslovakia. Over the next decade the world showered him with awards and honorary degrees; he gave speeches in just about every country imaginable as each of those awards and degrees were conferred. This book contains one of them.

EARTH ASTROLOGY
After a number of years studying with my teacher, reading copious books and sitting meditating with the night sky I began to combine The Medicine Wheel with the Zodiac. I developed a chart that puts the two together and then I added a six card Tarot reading.
 
YOU RECEIVE a PDF of the chart, the tarot cards and my recorded interpretation via email. You are able to download it onto your computer and look at the chart and tarot cards while you listen to the mp3 as often as you like.

Herbal Lyme Practitioner Training,
Treating Lyme and Co infections 

May 8, 9 & 10, 2020
Edinburg, Scotland

A unique event for medical herbalists, naturopaths and medical practitioners to gain in-depth training into the herbal treatment of Lyme disease and
its co-infections.
 
Lead speaker, clinical herbalist Julie McIntyre has specialized in Lyme disease for 15 years and helped around 10,000 people with Lyme. She brings a depth of experience and insight into the protocols, herbs, supplements and support treatments that have helped recovery, with a deep empathy for the plight of patients.
 
Also speaking will be Dr Jack Lambert, an infectious disease specialist, on working with antibiotics and herbs, and Dr Armin Schwarzbach on understanding and interpreting test results. Organized by research herbalist Monica Wilde, this is also an excellent opportunity to meet other herbalists working in this area who are happy to share their experiences, and to join a cross-practice clinical trial to measure the outcomes for patients.
 
Please note that this particular event is only suitable for certified practitioners and not for patients seeking to know more about Lyme disease. For more information about patient events please join the Facebook group /LymeDiseaseAlba.

COYOTE RAMBLINGS:
Thoughts That Have Taken Up Residence
and Recur at the Most Inopportune of Times
by Stephen Buhner

* Western medical technicians (e.g., doctors) take a lot of credit for their work that is misplaced. They engage in
complicated surgical techniques, in other words, they intentionally wound the body to “correct” or “fix” problems. If the body did not have the capacity to heal itself, none of their work would be of benefit. They are in fact utilizing capacities developed over 4.5 billion years of evolution as the core element of success in their work . . . but they take the credit. The ancient Greek legends are clear, this kind of arrogance, sooner or later, always generates a corrective response from the real world.

* There are 342 federally recognized tribes in the lower 48 states. Few of them get along with each other. While all
were originally animist, most of their traditional religious ceremonies differ one from the other. Many contemporary
tribal members are fundamentalist christians and disavow their tribe’s animist traditional ways; others are rapacious
corporatists. There is no single tribal member that can speak for all tribal members or tribes in the United States, so it is an inaccurate universalism when one says, “We honor the Earth as sacred, as our mother.” Navajo plans to put an amusement park, hotel, and casino on the edge of the Grand Canyon with a ride to the bottom or their current massive coal mining are only two counter examples.
 
* Universal statements about any particular subgroup of humans are always incorrect. There is no such thing as “all
white people” or “all black people” or “all men” or “all women” or “all” anything else. There is just the complexity of life in all its myriad forms. Universalist thinking saves the lazy and angry-wounded from dealing with that complexity. That is part of the point . . . to create an easy simplicity that the lazy or angry mind can easily point to as a problem that needs to be addressed. Complex social and ecological problems and solutions are never that simple.
