Continuing to Learn from the Changes on Mother Earth for Best Actions Going Forward? 


 

You’re invited to join us in-person and/or online for the workshop: Continuing to Learn from the Changes on Mother Earth for Best Actions Going Forward. This workshop is offered by Grandfather Mike Bastine, on Monday July 31, 1:15 to 2:15 pm EDT both in-person and on Zoom.

Grandfather Mike is a member of the Algonquin nation, a member of the Bear Clan, a healer, and former student of famous Tuscarora medicine man Wallace “Mad Bear” Anderson and Tuscarora healer, Ted Williams. He lives in South Wales, New York. He is co-author of the book: Iroquois Supernatural: Talking Animals and Medicine People.

In this workshop, Grandfather Mike will invite participants to consider what we can do to nurture ourselves and each other to address these ongoing Earth changes. From his deep wisdom, he will facilitate this coming together and encourage us to speak communally from our hearts. He will address natural ways that can supplement Western Medical approaches with health challenges and other challenges facing us, such as the extreme weather, the increase in mass shootings, and the War in Ukraine. He will share his insight as to how we can help each other as we are all in this together. Each one of us has talents and gifts to join with others to care and meet these challenges.

He is known widely for his talks at universities and gatherings where he shares the diversity of culture to convey to all humans how it is time to remember our “Original Instructions” as to how to live together in harmony on Mother Earth. He is carrying on teachings that were handed down from Mad Bear Anderson who wanted to unify and prepare all humans for developing a higher consciousness to do so.

Grandfather Mike will offer questions for participants to discuss to help us all reflect on what we have learned individually and collectively during these times. He will help us harvest what we are learning from this time of change, and how we may act to benefit ourselves and others going forward while we still have time to do so.
