Sound-Rich Earth-Based Expeditions Into the Rich Wilderness of the Soul: March-June 2025

My goal is to co-create community, sacred ceremony, healing and learning in deep collaboration with Earth, Mother Nature. Animism, Shamanism, Sound Healing, Nature and Soul Constellations weave together for multidimensional transformation. SoulNote–Shamanic Sound Healing collaborates with Earth Heart to bring these Earth -Based, Sound-Rich, Soul Nourishing Expeditions that seek to serve soul and Earth.

We invite Earth to be a primary teacher, and sound our spiritual language. We are listenative–listening with great curiosity as we enter into sacred exchange with the spirits of the land and our own guides. Shared spiritual experiences cultivate community as we move together at the speed of deer. It is a commitment to listening, to being willing to change, with great curiosity. Exploring the wilderness of our souls, being in inquiry, surprise, compassion, joy!

April-June 2025:

Tree-Soul Alchemy: Exploring the Green Akasha…

An Expedition of Heart and Soul

Tree shamanism meets sound healing meets the ecology of the soul.

My deepest prayer is that together, we expand our awareness, knowledge and experiences with trees– the great mentors and healers that they are. This multifaceted adventure focuses on amplifying our capacities to listen, hear, access and utilize healing power and wisdom stored in the akashic records trees hold and tend.

We surrender to new ways of connecting with trees, beyond what we have experienced before. We are inquisitive, exploring how trees assist us in building our soul’s potency and sovereignty–steadfast on and of the Earth, rooted, crowns reaching for the sun & star nation.

We are especially curious about how wisdom is stored in the rings of trees, and how to access this wisdom for healing. We enjoy experimenting with shamanic sound to shift our energies, awareness and consciousness at deeply vibrational levels.

And so the trees, song pipes that they are, guide and mentor us as we sing together songs and sounds of Earth.

PERSONAL BACKSTORIES

My awareness and attention have been fiercely and lovingly drawn to the trees, the standing ones. I live with them and spend time with them every day. I am reading about them. They rock me to sleep with their majestic countenance. They inspire gratitude hourly. They counsel me on fire fears and impermanence and trust in the divine earth plan. 

During a beautiful, life changing initiation with Michael Harner in 2003, one of my closest spirit guides taught me how trees are the masters of manifestation (along with their broader plant family). They take star energy and earth energy and combine them to manifest physical form from apparent formlessness.

One year (2010) when I returned home to the lake from singing at Sundance–a week of divine exchange with the tree at the center of the altar–the trees on the land I live on told me that they were sundance trees too. Spirit embodied as tree. “Every tree can be a sundance tree, with great to heal and bring wisdom to the people from Spirit, the Great Mystery.

In 2020, we had to evacuate our land due to wildfire. When I returned, I went to sit in my secret spot (see more about Secret spots from Jon Young here, and my own thoughts here). I noticed that I had become afraid of the trees—oh, can catch fire, carry fire to homes and burn them. To fall on houses and crush them. Whoa, I can’t live life here like that, what do I do? The trees at my secret spot reminded me that all fears ultimately lead back to a fear of death and annihilation. Hmmmm….then they leaned in, and over me, and said “your death will be a glorious ceremony”. That transmission, that message changed my life forever! Thank you dear ones!

I daily sit under the grandmother cedar at the top of the property (many have, during my guided journeys, have “walked up the crunchy gravel driveway to the 200 year old cedar at the top of the drive” as a portal to Non ordinary reality. This great grand mother, grand grandmother, showed me that trees store all history in their rings and forms–all the animals and other beings who have passed by them, all weather (I published an ecology article documenting climate patterns correlating with tree ring widths before my shamanic days). 

Last year, 2024, I was journeying under the grand mother and she showed me that I could go into the library, the akashic records of knowledge in any tree, and retrieve wisdom and healing for a particular event, injury, circumstance by going to the ring that was layed down during that time of that injury or event. That there was repair and restoration power and wisdom in that ring that could be brought forward today to heal. Soul essence and wisdom about how the soul could repair properly and fully could be retrieved!

Later in the year, the trees said that this is what we can call and refer to as the Green Akasha. All knowledge stored in the rings and forms of trees.

And so we are all explorers, expeditioneers, in curious inquiry into the workings of soul and trees and the Great Mystery.
