In Saskatchewan there's definitely a quickening happening. As is everywhere, there's a lot of abuse of culture and resources and what not, but there's a really strong spiritual community there. A couple of years ago when I first moved there I had kind of synchronistic meeting with some folks, I bought a house, moved into the neighborhood, went to my neighbors and said "I'm looking for community minded people" and the response was, "you came to the right place." And since then there's 7 families, 13 adults and 13 children total and we've bought 280 acres of land. It has a river running through it and a small forest and some farmland, and our intention is to build a self-sustaining community using solar power, wind generation and solar ovens, solar distillers, grow organic food, have a healing center and a place where people can come and heal the wounds that society has placed on them and culture.

I've studied healing modalities, you know, reiki, therapeutic touch, acupressure, and it seems as though here in North America the Chanupah, or the Sacred Pipe is the way of healing. They have these medicine men all over North America that they heal people by bringing them into the Inipi, the sweat lodge and going through these ceremonies with them and singing songs and sweating out their anguish and their tears and their frustrations and their physical ailments. It's like an ancient magic and that's really appealing to be able to heal someone or to be a channel for healing for other people that really need it, you know, for my relatives or for all peoples, as my relatives. Because we're establishing that kind of thing in Saskatchewan it's really important for me to investigate that kind of thing and to touch base with my roots and get a better understanding of how things really operate because I believe that we've been told lies for thousands of years and I don't think it's anybody's fault per se. I think that's just the way it is. We're coming to a time when things I think are gonna go back into a much more holistic manner. We're coming to a time of great change and it's really important that we respect where we are here on this planet, our mother which has birthed us and created us.

For 5 years previous to me getting married and having a son, before that I was just wandering around and I learned a lot by doing that, that was some of the best experiences of my life, but I didn't really have much hope then. And now that I have a child and I'm looking into his future and not just my own because at the time, you know, every day was a good day to die for me, cause every day is a good day. But now I look at where my son might be in 10, 13 years from now, you know, 2012 when the Mayan prophecies come to fruition, when all these prophecies from all over the world come to fruition and where he might be and where his thought patterns might be and where his heart will be and that's where my focus is now.

If you want to change your life you really have a pretty easy opportunity to do it. All you have to do is make the decision to do it. For instance, I spent a year and a half in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan cruising around to construction site dumpsters where they're doing a demolition job, doing a renovation, and they're throwing out all this timber. They're throwing out electrical wire, they're throwing out insulation, everything you need to build a home. And granted it took me some time and some of my own efforts, you know of pulling some nails, but the materials were free, and they're being thrown away. I've got two-thirds of the materials to build my own home, and it didn't cost me anything, and here I am taking somebody else's waste that's gonna be thrown in some landfill and preserved for the next two or three thousand years.

There's no waiting around anymore. There's no way that we can carry on and just ignore the things that are happening in our earth. There's a vibration of love that we need to attain, we need to look at each other as brothers and sisters, and except each other, love each other.
