Peters’ journey with Spirit began as a young child, "I could see spirits and beings around people. I thought they were ghosts and didn’t feel to share this with anyone as I grew up in a disciplined upbringing. Spirits were always there with me but I never talked about them”.
Peter has been sharing Earth Medicine teachings for 24 years, Shamanism taught to him by Elders in both the Americas and Australia. Peter first received teachings from Canadian Elders in 1987. Peter has met and worked with many teachers on his journey including Grey Wolf an Inuit Elder, Lakota Elders, Uncle Joe Silver Wolf a Cree Elder and Apache Elders; Varuna Dagan and Grandmother Shanadi.
Peter has Aboriginal Heritage through his Great Grandmother who was full blood Aboriginal and part of the stolen generation through his mother’s family line.
Peter journeys a Shamanic pathway but does not call himself a Shaman. He travels nationally sharing teachings through facilitating Ceremony, Shamanic Healings, ‘The Way of the Drum’, the ‘Sacred Pipe’ and walks with a profound connection to Great Spirit along with guidance from the Grandmothers and Grandfathers of spirit.
Peter has been sharing Discussions on Shamanism and taking participants on Shamanic Journeys for the past 15 years
Peters Prayer
We have all been here before, though we don’t remember. Our Journeys are long with many memories of the past for our Ancestors have walked this path long before us.
“The more I walk this earth path the more and more I find myself being drawn back into this present moment to open my heart in the truthfulness of all this beauty. The beauty that is within me and all around me.”
As my path unfolds before me, I ask you “To open your hearts within the essence of your being to Mother Earth’s rhythmical heartbeat, to breathe with her in all her glory; connect to Creator with prayers of the heart. Open to the beauty and oneness as brothers and sisters as we offer up Sacred Smoke “Ahoh Mitakuye Oyasin” we are all related with Mother Earth, Father Sky and all living things.”
When I find myself walking within the beauty of life connecting to this magnificent Oneness and being able to share this Space with others, all the abundance and love of the universe flows to me as I give thanks with much, much love and deep, deep Gratitude for all that I am and all that I have.
May you Walk with Beauty and Love
