I have a dream for the earth

Martin Luther King had a dream to set his people free and take them home to the promised land.  He didn’t know HOW he only knew that the call was real and that he had no choice other than to follow his instincts.    And he also knew that what he did would have an effect on the world for generations to come and it has.

We all have a dream

I Pierre, have a dream too.   I have had this dream since I was a child when I wrote a poem called ‘Does the Land have feeling?’.      Ma [Mother Earth, Gaia, All-that is] has always spoken to me.   I only felt at peace in her presence.    And in my early years I spent much time in her loving arms.

My genetic roots are French, German and Native American.  I grew up hanging out on the reservation near my home in Western Montana and my exposure to the ways and philosophy from my early days has given me what I call the Indigenous Spirit.     This indigenous spiritis present in all of us as earth children.   

In my late twenties, I was on my way to a meeting with a medicine woman in Nevada when I was diverted to Atlanta.     There began a long sojourn where I was mostly physically separated from Ma.  But her spirit never left me.

In the twenty years I spent in the asphalt jungle,  I was plunged into the alien nation and came into contact with a world of what I call ‘lost children’.  I met so many whose lives had no meaning because they could not fit into Machine.   They knew something was wrong but they were emotionally, physically and spiritually lost.  And in their unhappiness they were seeking answers they could not find in their everyday lives.

There is a reason for all the experiences we have in life if we could only see the grand pattern of the universe we would get get it.

But ours is not to see the pattern, it is only to know that it is there and that OUR role in the universe will make itself known in sometimes huge and sometimes small but significant ways.

Forest Dreaming

Recently my dream has reawakened and I knew it was time to leave the asphalt jungle.  My soujourn there was done and I was being drawn to move closer to the forest.  I now know that Ma was calling me home again.

And once there, I found myself driven to walk the trails, to uncover hidden pathways and places for people to gather and celebrate and commune with Ma.  

And each time I went out I found magical openings in the forest that were crying out for the mankind to walk gently and lovingly in their hallowed grounds as humans once did in the time of our indigenous ancestors.    

And awed by the wonder of these places we took photographs and displayed them online.  I only knew that this felt like the right thing to do.

And then a friend sent me a link to their house on Google Earth.  I never got to see the house because I was drawn as if in a trance to follow the contours of the places I’d been exploring 

As I navigated the land through the miracle of my computer, I saw a huge green mass moving towards me.   It was the backside of the Big Frog Mountain.  And then I got it like a punch in the guts.  Ma is calling me to gather people on the Big Frog.    She is saying ‘I will save you when you return to me’.

Cellular Transformation – an epiphany

In 1987 I spoke on Mt Shasta at the Harmonic Convergence.   I was a different person.  My voice roared across the mountain, I found myself speaking and not knowing where it was coming from.

Two years earlier I had a transcendant experience of what the Native Americans call Rolling Thunder.    I felt a total the connection to the universe  I was part of the trees and the fire and all that was.  It wasn’t a quick flash, it was a transformation at a cellular level that shifted the very fabric of my being.     

 I knew that in some way I had to play an active part in restoring harmony, not just to nature but to all  mankind.  

Harmonic Emergence – pathfinding humanity

That was nearly 22 years ago.      Today I see what I call the emergence of humans.  It has been a tough road, but the numbers are ever increasing as people wake up to what has to happen for the earth to survive and to ensure the continuation not just of the mankind but of all living things.

And there are many, like me, who have their dreams and receive guidance to follow a path.     And all of us are playing our part, appealing with our wordsay and song to different people calling the lost children to come home just as we are bringing ourselves home. 

Finding our way back home

We are all lost children in some way and we are all seeking to find our way home.    We are on this journey to manifest the wonder of our genetic keycodes and to play our part in harmonising and restoring balance to the Earth.

 My dream is to help people find their place in the world by inviting them into close communion with Ma.      And like all dreams the HOW’s are only revealed as we take the next step.

Pathfinder Camping

I recognised that one of my ’how’s' is to call people into the woods, to spend time communing and living with the Earth, harnessing the natural elements, foraging, building fire, chopping wood and carrying water. 

Just Camping Weekends

Every full moon we run pot luck just camping events that we call H.E.R.E. gatherings.  We invite people to come camp with us in the groves and hidden spots that we have discovered in the forest.   It is an opportunity to commune not just with the earth but with like minded spirits. There is no charge for participation and we only ask you to contribute food and your energy to the group.

My wife, Sunny,  and I run intimate workshops, camping in the forest, experiencing working with others to build something from nothing, harnessing the elements, chopping wood, carrying water, building fire, foraging and eating simply.  

In this 5-day workshop we facilitate people to examine their life and their patterns, in the nurturing and profound atmosphere of the forest.   We share our experiences round the camp fire in circle talk.  We build a sweat lodge together and participate in the sweat ceremony.  Individual assignments and explorations help this emergence.  We also offer opportunities to get involved in crafting and repurposing art from junk.

The workshops are held on the GA/TN Borders.

The Earth can Save YOU

There is a lot of talk about saving the planet, but few recognize that the Earth wants to save us.  In benefiting from her nurturing presence, we learn what she likes and how to treat her tenderly and with love.

Ma is here to save us because we are an intrinsic part of her existence.  She is here to teach us that when we focus not on self, but on doing the right thing for the entire system, we will survive.    

Ma is here to help us find that which was lost and restore life to a natural harmonic balance.     Time is running out and we must act now and follow our dreams.

I am my dream and my life work is to help people save themselves by returning to earth.

With love and respect
