Thoughts, A Beginning

Available on Amazon in print or for Kindle

By Herb Stevenson
"Thoughts is a story about how thoughts create our realities. It is a fun and exciting spiritual journey about the awakening process of an individual whose world is turned upside down when he meets this strange person named Doc Know. It is whimsical and piercing in the ponderings evoked as the pages magnetically draw one into a exploration of the inner world that creates the meaning making perceptions of the outer world."

Thoughts II

Available on Amazon in print or for Kindle

By Herb Stevenson
"The journey continues for Tom as he re-engages with DocKnow and a host of new teachers, each expanding his awareness of the presence of what is present that is mostly ignored in daily life. Tom often is pushed and pulled into these new awarenesses as he goes on a couple of journeys while being nudged by DocKnow and White Horse. In this fast paced story, many spiritual secrets are revealed leaving Tom reeling from each new discovery."

Thoughts III: Creating the Container

Available on Amazon in print or for Kindle

By Herb Stevenson
"The journey with DocKnow continues as Tom has slowly accepted a much deeper and broader understanding of healing. He encounters more teachers who deepen his understanding that not all seek healing. His journey takes him deep into understanding ceremonial spaces and how presence can shift the sacred space into more expanded capacities and discoveries. Finally, Tom experiences prayer as a form of being that helps him understand how reality is shaped by our thoughts, beliefs, and eventual conscious awareness of the presence of what is present."

Questing for a Vision

October 29-31, 2021

Virtual Workshop

Waiting Until Spirit is Heard

As my prayer became more attentive and inward I had less and less to say.
I finally became completely silent.
I started to listen
–which is even further removed from speaking.
I first thought that praying entailed speaking.
I then learnt that praying is hearing, not merely being silent.
This is how it is.
To pray does not mean to listen to oneself speaking.
Prayer involves becoming silent, and being silent
and waiting until spirit is heard.

—Soren Kierkegaard

Hi folks,

Due to Covid and the safety of attendees, we have switched to a virtual format. We will do an experiential retreat that combines visioning techniques and some journeys to support clarity after weathering Covid for the last 18 months. Recently I received the photo below and pondered it being appropriate to our times. I realized many of us have this longing especially after Covid. So, we are going on a vision quest over our annual Halloween weekend.

Vision questing was originally known as crying or lamenting for a vision. It involved going into seclusion on a mountain or sacred site without food or water or clothes. Stripped to the nakedness of oneself, the individual sat in total humility waiting for a vision of how the world is different because one exists.

The Questing for a Vision workshop is about learning to listen to who we are more fully as a person or as thepPoem says, learning to wait until spirit is heard.

What to Expect:The focus will be to deepen the awareness of one’s internal vision of how to more fully be in the world. We will do some journeys, some reflections, and some guided meditation.

This is at your home virtual workshop, so make yourself comfy. We will meditate, so, have any rocks or crystals that support your meditations. A journal notebook is encouraged.

Who Should Come? The workshop is designed for people from all walks of life. It is focused towards expanding the awareness of spiritual explorers, healing and shamanic practitioners, and the delightfully inquisitive.

What to Bring: Please bring any rocks or crystals that want to come along. A journal notebook is encouraged as well as any comforts for sitting on the floor, such as floor chairs, back supports, blankets, pillows, etc. Bring lots of grounding stones.

The fee for the workshop is $395. Class size is limited to 21.

Details

The workshop will be done in four segments of 3, maybe 4 hours. With frequent breaks as you remind me of the need. The tentative schedule is as follows.

Friday: 1-5 PM EST (12-4 CST)

Saturday: 10-1 am and 2-5 PM EST (9-12 and 1-5 PM CST)

Sunday: 10-2 EST (9-1 CST)

Each segment will have a guided meditation, some teaching, an exercise, and processing. This structure has worked well for me and shortly after we get comfortable, you will find that it can be an interesting and insightful experience.

Presenter: Herb has been exploring indigenous healing practices for over 30 years.

1. Go to https://Zoom.com and open a free account and install it on your computer
2. Make sure your computer has a camera. It is helpful but not needed that you have a headset with a microphone on it (like your cell phone headset). It cancels noise at home
