Chuck’s Journey
My healing journey began in the mid-eighties when I took my first martial arts class. After receiving my black belt in karate I saw a movie about a martial artist who had just received his black belt from his sensei and the sensei told him “now that you have learned how to hurt people which is the easy part, it is time you learn to heal people which is the hard part”.
This statement had a very profound effect on me.
Since the early nineties I have been actively working with healing energies such as Therapeutic Touch, Jikiden Reiki in which I became a teacher, Intuitive Pressure Point work, Zone Technique, Ceremonial Healing and the healing methods passed down through the lineage of Grandfather Stalking Wolf.
My spiritual journey began in 1997 when I was diagnosed with cancer. This was a gift that prompted me to look at who and what I am. Since then I have taken numerous courses in Healing, Awareness, Tracking, Survival, Wilderness Philosophy and Ceremony at Tom Brown Jr’s Tracker School in New Jersey.
I have facilitated over two hundred Sweat Lodges and hundreds of Pipe, Drum and Feather Ceremonies. The 55 plus courses that I have taken at the Tracker School have given me the vision of my place in this world and the confidence to follow this vision.
I had the good fortune of meeting Malcolm Ringwalt of The Oneness Quest in 1999. Since then I have completed several Vision Quests, the Vision Quest Protector class, Advanced Protector classes, Seven Levels of Quest, Spiritual Mentoring, The Training, Being Human, The Purity of Oneness, The Ocean of Grace, The Ultimate Piece Protector, The Ultimate Piece Seven Levels of Quest and have done a 42 Day Retreat with him. This led me to becoming a teacher of Protection and Seven Levels of Quest.
All of the classes and all of the work that I have been doing over the past 30 years has lead me to the vision I now hold which is “Remembering Who I Am”. Remembering that I am an Eternal being and living this physical life to the fullest.
Sandy, my family, grandchildren, and community are a very important part of my life and I strive each day to become a better partner, father, grandfather, and healer
When time permits I like to putter in my woodworking shop and build drums.
Sandy’s Journey of Discovery
After having a career in business, I was surprised by a twist of fate to discover I was a healer. Enthusiastically pursuing this knowledge led to many adventures in ancient shamanic methods plus several modern techniques such as Therapeutic Touch and Jikiden Reiki. Experiences as a Palliative Care volunteer in a local hospital convinced me of the benefits of energy healing.
Another synchronicity brought the power of the Vision Quest into my life. Having completed a dozen Quests and seeing first hand the benefits of questing, I trained as a Vision Quest Protector, then eventually as a teacher of Protection to round out the skills.
Classes with Tom Brown Jr. at Tracker School and Malcolm Ringwalt of The Oneness Quest in the teachings of Grandfather Stalking Wolf increased my awareness of the spiritual dimensions. These connections led to the experience of Seven Levels of Quest, of which I am now a teacher.
My passion is to help people come to know themselves, to heal, and discover their purpose. A shared vision with my partner, Chuck, led to the establishment of Heron Walk Healing Centre where we see healing clients and teach.
My life is enriched by grown children, six grandchildren, and the many friends around the world who have been part of my adventures.
