IAM WINTER SOLSTICE SYMPOSIUM & FIRE TENDERS GATHERING 2022 Tending Sacred Space Thank you for your interest in creating an altar for the IAM Winter Solstice Fire Tenders Gathering. This year’s focus is “Inwardly Strong”. Throughout the ages, shamans were called to hold the container, with a clear vision for the health of their communities. Even with all our magic and shamanic tools, this service has become a challenge, and yet the call from the Wind Spirits grows louder and more fierce. This year I have been called to offer Sanctuary to our Community, and offer a Winter Solstice Ceremony, then lead a group to quietly tend to our Inner Flame. It is time to become “inwardly strong” as one of our Windies, Michelle Latinski so aptly called her personal result after two years in the WindWork ® apprenticeship program. This year we will deepen the experience as we apprentice to the wind spirits to usher back the light. We will be holding a 10-day personal altar vigil. Instead of lots of activity and live presentations, we will walk quietly with our prayer in Nature. Renee will send a daily short video prompt, and there will be a private group for sharing your inner experience.

Steve Bull and Sally Denny, Jesus the Ultimate Shaman Order the book Here: https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Ultimate-Shaman-Enriching-Practices/dp/195582178X/ Spiritual life dull and predictable, going nowhere? Trust us to infuse your life with personal power, confidence, and excitement. Sally and Steve combine a rich mixture of multi-disciplines from careers, theological education, and shamanic training that coalesce to offer wisdom and experience for your spiritual development. If you’ve picked up this book, there’s a reason you’ve been drawn to it. Jesus, the Ultimate Shaman provides all readers with many shamanic tools they can use to heal themselves, others, and their environment. It shows people of all philosophies and faith perspectives that Shamanism isn’t a threat or in competition with their beliefs. Are you looking for answers for how to deepen your relationship with Creator-God, Spirit, yourself, or others? No one walks away from this book without the potential to change their own life. • Jesus used powerful shamanic practices. Find out how he did this. Learn from his example. • Use this book to shift into a new paradigm to enhance your spiritual life and experiences. • Turn on to shamanic practices that connect you to Spirit and the divine creation rather than merely an intellectual faith. Jesus the Ultimate Shaman is an easy-to-read book that introduces readers to Shamanism and shows how Jesus practiced its powerful principles. Steve Bull Steve holds a Masters of Divinity and a Masters of (Clinical) Social Work. He worked as a Christian missionary for 16 years, pioneering two works: in the inner city of San Francisco as an outreach to impoverished Central American refugees; the other in the remote parts of Eastern Oregon to cowboys and ranchers. Following his ministries, Steve worked as a psychotherapist for 19 years, holding a license in Clinical Social Work. Steve also functioned as a Social Worker and Chaplain for Hospice over a number of years. Experiences in ministry, psychotherapy, and hospice motivated Steve to integrate his understanding of spirituality, religion, and his professional training through the study of Shamanism. How are people healed who are deeply, traumatically wounded on a soul/spirit basis, such as the veterans with whom Steve worked? How do people grow and enhance a connection with their spirit during their lifetime and then easily cross to the next life? How are people physically healed by working with their spirit in the physical/spirit realms? These and other questions have excited Steve’s heart and mind and continually led him to learn and access the spirit world. The authorship of this book has come out of the deep questioning that provoked Steve’s thinking. Sally Denny Sally has had an intimate connection with the spirit realm since childhood. Being involved in leadership capacities within the Catholic and Protestant churches she attended through the years, Sally has led retreats, seminars, Bible studies, and liturgical gatherings in lay and staff positions. For the last twenty years she has worked as a licensed massage and bodywork therapist. Sally’s private practice therapies are based on bioenergetics and polarity, which are ways of connecting and balancing the body’s energies, to bring both physical and life challenges into balance. She brings the power of Spirit into each client’s sessions, working to bring wholeness through intuitive and claircognizant healing. Sally enjoys time with her animals, family and friends, baking and cooking delicious foods, and creating beauty in her Sonoran Desert home environment.
