This is what healing looks like. Sometimes it is painful, unclear, and daunting. Sometimes it feels like it will never end. ... Working in the field I do I have the opportunity to witness healing in so many ways, each unique in their needs. Not all avenues work for everyone. Some times it is a dance off, sometimes it is a silent or lonely process, other times it is soul wrenching heart ache or the opposite, complete apathy and numbness. I service a lot of front line workers and others who offer mental health services. It is important to have a team to help those in these fields know they are backed up by their community, that they have a safe place to land and a place that is not judgmental and supportive so they can continue the valuable work they do. Those of us offering services to others, especially in extreme times, need to ensure we are doing all that we can to tend to ourselves so we can be present for others. Sometimes thats through our practices of mediation, through proper fuelling diets, time in nature or avenues to shake off all that we carry. Sometimes we just need to take the time to attend to the emotions and fears that come up for us. Sometimes we don’t even need to know what we are processing, its like a wave of emotion that floods us just enough to find its way out. There are many practices that help support us in the work that we do, some simple and others complex, finding what works for each of us is key! This is me some days, attending to my own healing, my own fears, the collective fears and sorrow that can come up in life, being human can be hard sometimes. Even though some days are more daunting than others, I love it, all of it! I love how it builds me to better versions of me, how it gives me a deeper foundation, how it affords me the understanding of what others may be going through, it all helps me to be a better beautiful human and practitioner. I have learned to walk the walk, my own walk, we are all equals doing the best we can. I have been in the social work, mental health and teaching fields my whole life, it was imperative to find ways that would allow my service to not take me down with it, to find keep my system from being bogged down and learning the fine art of letting things pass as they need to. To ride the storm in the way I want to without missing all of the opportunities for my own growth as a person and as a practitioner. It’s a beautiful dance with life and sometimes the tears are needed to lubricate the dancing joints. Then again, somedays its just about listening to loud music, and letting my being dance itself into a new day of service. This is a shout out to all of you doing your beauty work and finding what works for you as navigate your life and exquisite unfolding to who you are becoming. Rev Shaman T Note: pictures are not from today, just so you know ;)

There are many ways to get the benefit of meditation. It is not just about thinking about "nothing". For many of us it is about choosing something that allows us to hyper-fixate or go into the "zone" if you will. ... Runners get this, artists when they are knee deep in a project, people who do puzzles, or sing, or play an instrument for just the sheer pleasure of it. Being in the moment with your craft, what ever it may be ( and PS, you don't need to be good at it to get feel good results) can deeply reduce your stress levels, give your mind and body a break and afford you some time to just be, in creation with life. These kinds of activities have great healing medicine. I hope you find a few versions that bring you peace and joy daily. Maybe it is time to explore a few new activities to allow your senses to play! So get out those puzzles, craft supplies, instruments, models and activities of many kinds. May you each find your heart centred activities. Rev Shaman T

Beautifully done.

Blessings to you all.

Amazing job Paradis peeps for the top notch details to the work and driving areas of the studio. Love having a space of land that is so valued and loved and appreciated. Thank you thank you thank you. ... Without you I doubt our little centre would have survived. Looking forward to all the greatness to come on this corner for both of our businesses! Collaboration is where it’s at folks. We are thankful

Getting all the tech set up for our weekend long intensive that starts tonight. Totally stoked. Lots to do and so worth it. See you soon peeps.

Things I love about my life - Excerpt I’m sitting here, on our back deck. It’s small, just big enough for perfection if you ask me. ... I’m sitting here just being. I’m holding my wife’s hand while we look off into the trees and the beauty in the yards as the birds and the chipmunks flit by. Both species are being fed by my parents up at the front of the house, an all you can eat buffet from some little boxes they have set up for just that need. Chippy, (all chipmunks have that name I’m pretty sure, at least around here), bounces by with his cheeks packed wide..often. On the upper deck my father is learning the rhythm and words to a new song. He strums his guitar, it sings with him. He does this daily; learns new songs then masters them. Day after day his melodious tones waft the area like a welcome gentle breeze. His voice adds grounding to the forest animals that venture by, the trees dance in the glistening sun as it dapples the leaves below the canopy. Happy clouds roll by to get a closer peek. His soft singing and expanding his learning is peaceful to me, in more ways than I can even begin to explain. And in likely more ways than I know of now. In the background of the music, my mother is fussing in the kitchen off of their deck. If there was a steady stream of people to feed she would be in her glory. She is stirring a new creation into existence with her kitchen magic. She is utilizing vegetables that were gifted to us by my wife’s mother. The smells wafting from the patio screen sooth us all with a mix of calm and excitement. Sharing of the sacred food will happen soon enough. The spices fill the air with aromatic love. I close my eyes to have my soul feel this moment, to drink it in, to commit it to memory for when even harder times come. My body considers napping, and slipping into a dream. But I tell my attention to stay present here, to surrender in this moment. There is no dream that could be as fulfilling as this moment is, right now, in this life time, holding her hand. A tear of sentiment trickles down my face. I do that a lot, let my eyes seep the beauty of sentiment of a moment down my cheek. Its so fulfilling, perhaps because I spent a lot of time in my past being numb, blocking life out, being overwhelmed with emotion. Perhaps I hadn’t matured enough into my own strengths or to an awareness of the gift of feeling. I am a feeling and noticing powerhouse. I however often feel new and in awe of this life, at this time. I feel added warmth in my body and realize my love is sending extra tenderness to me through our holding hands, I feel her looking at me tenderly. I drink the moment in. I keep my eyes closed. I say thank you in my being. And I breathe. Shaman Reverend T With Teri Kennedy-Swindon, Dan Kennedy,Marvina Kennedy-PeddleMaddy Swindon and Chippy.

If anyone is looking to offload Zucchini's my mama is open to receiving. When I was a kid there was a lovely woman in our community that would flag me down and load my arms with Zucchini's and I would balance them on my handlebars and take them home to my mom. It was always an exciting time, mom would be so happy to receive them and she would plan her kitchen cooking wizardry by eyeing up each precious one. Before long the house smelt of familiar exotic spices (These spices... made their way out the cupboard this time of year, and were distinctive in their aromatics.) The woman who gave me the Zucchinis never spoke English to me as I recall. We communicated very well through our eyes and our grins to each other. I really don't know why the woman yelled out to me, it just started one year and happened for many there after, we were always excited to see each other when she would call me over. I remember being bashful about looking at her before she would call me over; I didn't want her to think that I expected them each year, so I let her decide to yell out to me or not. I was always thrilled to her calling out and I would peddle my bike over so quickly as to not make her wait or change her mind. Maybe all the kids driving by got the same treatment? Maybe they all received the same loving kindness gesture as I did with arms full of her gardening genius. I may never know. Its a lovely thought though, that there are may others out there having a similar beautiful memory about the same person and her giving nature. Someone who did something perhaps seeming so little that has an impact so lovely that someone remembers it as some of the best parts of their memories of their childhood. Certain memories keep me rooted in who I am. They help me identify who was influential to me, especially those that may never have known how valuable that moment was to me. Today I give thanks to the beautiful soul that flagged me down to share her abundance so that I could return home a hero to my mother, and that my mother would create healing in our home as the smell of those familiar spices radiated out into the neighbourhood. This is certainly a long winded way to say, if you have zucchinis that you can't use, I know where to take them and they will be appreciated and utilized. Also thank you Maddy (Teri's mama)for the ones you sent over a few weeks ago. She has the "fall baking bug" now lol Shaman Reverend T

Thank you so much Stephanie Trattner of Stephanie Trattner Photography for always being brilliant and helping us out to get the best pictures of anything we need. Always so professional and pictures are always on point. Thank you so much!

Today’s LeT’s do this is brought to you by my BionicSheild PPE. Ground Control to Shaman T

Let’s do this!

Chairs are cloaked and the frog/toad is ready.

Worth the listen, every minute of it. This is from 2017 I believe but very very relevant today. In this video Brene Brown covers topics such as shame, de-humanization, white supremacy and clear talk around difficult subjects. Hook up your headset, take a time out and have a listen. ... You can be fierce and gentle with yourself and others. Shaman T.

Woo hoo. Reno’s are done and we are doing a soft opening on Monday and will be seeing clients in person for those who would like to do that. Phone in and zoom are still wonderful options that I am hoping some of you continue. It’s a beautiful process. ... I will send out an email with all the particulars in the next few days. Looking forward to seeing live soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Shaman T.

Enjoying this beautiful piece. I want to give thanks to the cartoons that featured classical greats and gave me the opportunity to day dream and be taken to the most wonderful places through this kind of music and for it to give me what I need some days. Also thank you to them for making some of the memories be of Bugs Bunny twinkle toes into the garden or the like or doing something silly or fantastic, brilliant!... Perhaps take a moment if you are inclined to and close your eyes and have a listen, let the music guide you where your system wants you to go. I wonder what will come up. Sometimes for me its calm and wonderful, other times tearful and releasing, and others filling and feisty. Either way for me its always what I need. May you have a blessed day. Enjoy.

Now trying my hand at recovering some bolsters. Hook curve needle works great.

Today was repaint some of the sign frames. One by one everything is getting done.

Always work to do for the studio. This weekend mama Marvina Kennedy-Peddle fixed all the puckers in the pillows. Thank you! Next up let’s get some sunshine on those pillows.

Well. I never thought I would be using my skills from the past from helping a drag queen make plastic boots (and other things) with nothing but plastic and a glue gun but here I am. Knee deep in plastic and a glue gun covering our beloved chairs in plastic forCoVid updates. Only thing missing is glitter and proper tunes. ... Hopefully I don’t glue up too tight or it will tear out like the assless chaps that I am not going to talk about. *switches play list over to Pride Fun.

Time to power wash the building and get some of the weeds out and thatching done while we wait for second pour of concrete inside. As I scrub and cleanse and al...low myself to be Mindful and place blessings of intentions to the space for it and all the days to come. I give thanks for the opportunity to be here at this time with hope and joy for what is to come. I give thanks to the community that surrounds this physical space. I anoint the space with waters of love, laughter and perfect gatherings of like minded loving people. I clear away all negative intentions and webs that no longer serve and call in peace and harmony. As I weed I make room for what is being called in and remove what has had its time. I do so with a loving heart and intent to preserve the space as good soil. I love how with intention and mindfulness ceremony in the everyday can bring such peace and grace to the have to’s. May your daily chores be filled with what you wish for them to be. Have a great day lovelies. Shaman T

Get your dance with my cousins band (lead guitar in blue suit). Sing sing sing. Well done!

Love LOve love. Shaman T

Our new physical distancing posters are ready. Thank you Victoria Kennedy for being amazing at graphic arts and drawing. She did exactly what I asked for and the results are better than I imagined. ... Stoked to have your expertise in the house! Shaman T

Any of our lovely people have access to some silk screening supplies? Looking to play this summer with some ideas and perhaps buy our own.

For my last assignment for my Clergy Reverend training we were asked to answer one final question. I thought maybe our Pachamama’s people might be interested in my submission. There were so many options I could choose as my answer, but I kept coming back to the foundation of this response. ... The question is. If you had the ability to give a precious gift to the world, what would it be and why would you choose it? I decided to write my answer this way. May each being on the planet know their worth and their value. May you remember how truly stunning your unique incarnation is. May each soul know how to reside in awe of themselves and their beauty. May you allow yourself to radiate your uniqueness to the world. May you allow your beauty to break free from any binds that may be holding it captive. May you fall in love, head over heals all in, in-love with your unique incarnation in this life-time. And may you be in the deepest awe of the beauty of you, and the beauty of those you walk this earth with. May you continue to remember who you truly are, and may you be best of friends with what you find. This is the precious gift that I would choose to give to the world. If my life was filled with magnificent opportunities to witness people truly remembering who they are, then what a great life it would be. When people remember their worth and value, the other issues plaguing the world begin to decrease. We need not compete with each other, take advantage, defer, hide, destroy, belittle or hoard resources from each other. We will know we are enough and have everything we need. Our antics to deny ourselves, or punish, or avoid punishment begin to fall away. We begin to want to spend our days in peace, calm, and joy, for we are not separated from ourselves and we can stop playing games to separate from others as well. We can see the good in others because we have taken up residency in the good in ourselves. We remember we are abundant and have plenty to share. We remember that it is sacred to sing, to dance, to sit in solitude and to rejoice with what we have. We re-join the true depths of humanity and mercy; we allow ourselves and others to walk in grace. Shaman T

Mr. Rogers Greatest Advice. This is something everyone needs to hear. Powerful!

Opportunity with tenacity. Making the best of your options. Brilliance. ... (Picture from the back corner of the studio)

Had some custom removable window shades put in by the fab Heather Chamberlain-Roy. These flank the door and and also covers the window in door for the times we want or need more privacy and an inside low light vibe. Can slip them out and more light and openness. Yellow outside white inside to match the framing. ... And.... a peekaboo door. You might need a PAAAAAAAASS word from time to time . Ya know. Cause it’s fun and life is too short. Thanks so much heather for making that easy and functional! One step closer. Next up, power wash the exterior, and paint the white trim on door.

Time to up my insta game. Any advise on understanding this platform?

Figure if I need to wear headgear (mask and shield or goggles) to be safe at work might as well do it with a bit of intrigue and style. Something like this maybe. Post picks of other great options you would welcome this shaman to wear at your next appointment. ... Don’t forget the gloves!!

Today was perfect timing and energy for a sweet ceremony to honour the cement floor in the studio being removed so that a proper strong and level foundation can be poured and refloored. The flowers were a gift from a friend of Pachamama’s last week and were utilized to add the sweetness of life and community loving offerings and beauty and connection with the earth. There are seeds that have been added to honour joy, grace, new becomings, health prosperity and perfect inter...actions and assistance. I’ve added items to represent thanks to the elders and wise ones that guide us and support us, hearts for connections, love, honouring, gathering and the like. Sparkles for delightful and graceful divine love and excitement and happiness. So much more in here. I honour the process of digging up the old to let it be free and heal and the space and to allow a new foundation build on joy, beauty and strength, and loving health and wellness. I call in the perfect new and allow peace and calm and child-like laughter and joy to take up residency. We build a space for our fellow noble friends to feel safe, heard, honoured and celebrated. I look forward to growing into even more beautiful powerful beings with you! Thank you for contribution to this life. Thank you for sharing in my ceremony. Shaman T
