When we gather for ceremony, whatever the form-- a Sweat Lodge, Vision Quest, Dance, or other -- we always carry a deep sense of respect. Why? Because we are all connected to all beings, and all things. Ceremony is not for show, but for seeking the deeper self, the hidden truths of who we are, what we want to be, and what we need to surrender to get there. The base of it is prayer. To quote my teacher Beautiful Painted Arrow: "Prayer outlines the direction of our faith and in ceremony we cry out to the infinite that it might let us see with its eyes our own destinies."

It has always been my desire to walk on this planet with a clear mind, open-heart, healthy body, and a strong connection to the Great Spirit. It is through this process of honoring the four directions (East the Mental, South the Emotional, West the Physical, North the Spiritual) that we can truly seek the balance that we are striving for.

It is with the honorable blessings of my teachers that I now travel nationally and internationally to share the path of honoring Great Spirit, along with my given gifts of working with the host of Ascended Masters, Archangels, and other teachers from beyond this third dimension. My work with these great masters has proven to me that when there is balance within the self, we truly can hold an exchange of energy called love. We do have choice; we can stand with love, balance and strength like a peaceful warrior, or we can constantly be wandering about in fear and denial, wondering where the love lives. That is why I do the work, and dance the dances that I do. That is why I participate in Sweat Lodges and Vision Quests. For within these ceremonies there is direction; a choice is made to find a quieter mind, to find honor, truth, and love within the four directions of self. Ceremony has transformed my life in so many ways words cannot describe. For ceremonies teach us to give, to sacrifice, to manifest—and in doing so, we receive. Through ceremony, my life has opened and deepened with a quality surpassed by no other work.

Ceremony has opened doors for me that would still be left unopened; love in my heart that could not have been accessed or actualized, and an ability to forgive with a greater depth. Ceremony is a way of life. It is living with reverence and joy. It is walking in union with my-self and the Great Creator. This is why I offer Sweat Lodges, Vision Quests, Dances, and private healing sessions to my fellow two-legged. It is with deep love and compassion, and respect for these ceremonies, that I share these healing teachings, so that more can come together to sustain this ever-growing circle of life flowing between us two-legged, the Father (Heavens) and the Mother (Earth). My vision is a planet that embraces love and balance, where all peoples and all things are given the respect they deserve. For those of you who are curious, I make myself available to you, and to all.

May your Sacred Path be full of blessings always,
Peter Howe
