I am became a Minister of the Church of Earth Healing on January 21, 2022 after completing a three week intensive training with Founding Minister Bekki Shining Bearheart. The Church of Earth Healing was established in Ohio by Bekki Shining Bearheart and Crow Swimsaway in December of 1990. The Church of Earth Healing provides “teaching, healing, and spiritual counseling within a Shamanic framework.” This Shamanic framework is an Earth-based Spirituality that honors all Spiritual traditions, ancient to contemporary, and which honors all Beings upon and aspects of Mother Earth as Alive and containing Spirit.
Becoming a minister was the next deeper step in my own healing journey and along my path to manifesting my higher purposes for being on the planet at this critical time of planetary upheaval. Early in my healing journey I learned that “I have come to Earth to love the Earth, and to love the Earth I must love myself, for I am Earth.”
A large part of loving myself is becoming who I am meant to be. I am meant to be someone who helps others heal and re-connect to themselves, to the Earth, to Spirit, to Beauty, to Purpose, to Truth and to Each Other. I help others become who they are meant to be, and in supporting this work in others, I am helping them to also love and heal the Earth.
The Church of Earth Healing is one of many facets of the exciting work to come at Braided Root Waters Healing Sanctuary.
