What
Others Have to Say about their experience with Takara, Raven, &
Spirit of Nature

"Hi
Takara, we've been meaning to email you since the beautiful
day we spent with you and Raven. What an amazing experience..it
has given us both so much. Thank you for the opportunity to
meet you and Raven and to participate in the sweat lodge
experience. Thanks to you both for all the work you are
doing in the world!" - Debbie and Matt, California
During the creation of the 9 Fires Medicine
Wheels of Peace, many participants have reported having
extraordinary experiences - everything from energetic awakenings
to visual, auditory and kinesthetic perceptions. Here are just
a few of their comments:
- "I
was sitting with my eyes closed. I could hear Raven making
a sound, but I did not know what he was doing. Every time
he made the sound, I found myself raising my arms above
my head feeling energy flowing through me. The third time
this happened, I opened my eyes to see what he was doing.
I realized that I was feeling the activation and raising
my arms at the same time that Raven was raising his as he
directed the energy of the pillar upwards. It was an amazing
experience." - participant Eldorado, NM
- "Every
time Raven ignited a fire during the activation, I felt
energy move right through my heart and expand my heart chakra."
- participant Eldorado, NM
-
"I'm glad I was so grounded or I would have fallen
over. When Raven activated the 9th fire in the center of
the wheel, I could see this ball of energy raise up and
move skyward. It kept going higher and higher and getting
bigger and bigger until it just disappeared into the sky.
I usually don't see things like that. It was quite something."
- participant Pagosa Springs, CO
- "This
was definitely the highlight of my three days here."
- participant at a 3-day conference at Ghost Ranch, NM
"Thank you, Takara, for your healing
energy. The resistance I had been feeling to proceeding
with a project just faded away quietly after our session. Dispite
my awareness of the blocks and attempts to move them, I simply
had not been able to fully move past them on my own. Within
hours I was in action, gathering information, making contacts,
designing, writing, organizing.... Again thank you for the love
and empowerment that you carry. Blessings.
- KiP Walker, Minister, artist and Creator of Celebration
A few comments from Takara's Manifesting
Your Beloved Workshop:
- "Great
and enjoyable. You have to experience the class for yourself.
It is very much an independent experience of where you are
at in your journey." - Lynn Hutcherson
- "Very
good with more implications than a partner! Teaches you
to get clear about yourself and what you want and engage
your feelings to make it real." - Michael Lynn"
- "(I
learned) that I can manifest my Beloved or anything."
- Bonnie Jeavons
- "Very
helpful to focus on what 'I am putting out there.' I recommend
exploring your depths of desires using what Takara teaches
to Manifest your Beloved." - Jean MacDonald
"A lot of change
has taken place in my life this spring, but your newsletter
has been very grounding. Thank you for the connections and
for the articles that always give me something to think about.
I still remember my first and only sweat lodge - Jesse, in particular
(our 4 year old). He had absconded a personna from TV and was
dramatizing it in detail. He is a beautiful and very special
child. After the sweat lodge came potluck and conversation.
I always said I'd join again if only for the conversation."
- Frances Webb, California
"Takara: Just wanted to THANK YOU for all
the leading edge health information that you have been making
available to us! . . . the BioElectric Shield has been
stupendous - I sincerely believe that it is saving my life on
many levels. I am so much stronger now in any situation, whether
it is at the office or with family members. . . Also I enjoy
the Dancing Dolphin Essences. Flower essences alone have
changed my health dramatically. This past winter I enjoyed good
health all winter long! Each week, I use pendulum testing and
make up a new flower essence combination for myself. I thought
you would be interested to know that my testing usually indicates
that I use at least one (or sometimes several) of the (Dancing
Dolphin) Bud Essences in with the other essences. I also
use Perelandra and Aluna Joy's. The (Dancing Dolphin) Bud Essences
do seem to increase the power of the combination. The more drops
of bud essence that are part of the combination, the fewer drops
I need to take of the combination each day. In any event, THANK
YOU AGAIN. I feel my health is increasing in leaps and bounds."
- Martine Joseph, New Britain, CT
Comments about a recent Earth Sky (sweat)
Lodge:
"We thank you for a wonderful, inspirational,
and healing time. . . we feel the positive effect already. .
. . Thank you again for providing a place where people can heal,
and renew their spirit within. It was a real treat for the two
of us."
- Regina and Weldon Merritt, Santa Fe, NM
"Although my time with Raven and Takara
was short, I have never felt so connected to the Universal Source.
It has changed my life forever.
. . They helped me Empower my life. For this I will be eternally
grateful."
- James Jeffrey, San Clemente, CA
". . . you (Takara) and
Raven have been so guided, so intuitive, so "ready"
that you were given information ahead of most of us. I just
wanted to acknowledge you for your inner wisdom, your willingness
to share it, the love that you are. NO accident that the two
of you were brought together to do your work."
- Joy Linsley, Chicago, IL
"How do you thank someone
who comes into your life and because of her influence your life
is changed forever? Takara has graced my life with her many
talents and skills. Especially through her healing arts, I have
made quantum leaps forward in my life. At one crisis point she
was able to facilitate my integration of a significant shift
in only 10 minutes! I had been beside myself for 2 weeks. Her
knowledge and keen ability to share it have enriched my life
forever! Perhaps due to her engineering and teaching background
she has an amazing ability to take extremely complex concepts
and information and boil it down to bottom line usefulness with
clarity. She makes things implicitly simple and understandable
to a lay person. Her extensive studies in metaphysical and philosophical
areas allow her to create freeways for those of us who don't
have time to sift it all out. The clarity she creates with her
accelerated techniques allows you to quickly come on-line with
the information (provided you are ready to run with it), to
transition, and to push past limitations."
- Theresa Wright, Carlsbad, CA
"Thanks
again so very much for the incredible sweat lodge experience.
I had reached a plateau in my journey of recovery from child
abuse and neglect, and the sweat lodge experience helped me
break down internal barriers to future progress. I am more self-confident
and spiritually connected, and I have already made great progress
in my therapy work since my return. I was led to the lodge and
to you, Raven, for a reason, and that was to reach the next
level in my healing process. I am so glad I made a leap of faith
and trust to try a new approach. And thank all of you for your
hospitality and good company following the ceremony."
- Joni
Students at one of Raven's Medicine
Shield Workshops:
"Excellent experience for
self understanding and self help. One of the best classes I've
taken so far. Thank You." -
Margot Backdoll
"Good positive energy from Raven and my
first step on my learning journey was very positive and one
I'll keep traveling. Thank You." - Russell
"Great experience! Especially enjoyed the
guided meditation at the water's edge."
- Weldon Merritt, Eldorado, NM
"I enjoyed the Spirit Walk thoroughly.
I liked the basic down to earth-ness. Thank you so much for
giving us this experience."
- Ruth Omlin, Santa Fe, NM
"I feel that you're extremely knowledgable
about the Spirit of Nature and you have perfect surroundings.
Both of you are gracious and hospitable. Thank you for an afternoon
of spiritual peace!
- Peter Faux
"I realized the beauty in simplicity of
nature - yet so abundant and in harmony with each other. There
is simplicity in walking - with ease and an open heart to oneness
of all life, seeing Spirit in and around, above and below in
so many different forms. Simplicity in seeing, feeling enjoying,
touching, breathing, sharing, expressing - feeling the water
and becoming part of it. How simple and joyful - the greatest
show and entertainment on earth: nature, and seeing and feeling
Spirit in Oneness. We are blessed to know both of you. Thank
you for the experience of today. I feel enriched and awakened
to the deep and beautiful joy of simplicity within all nature
and life. Joy to both of you, and Jesse, and my love and blessings.
With appreciation,"
- Regina Merritt-Buck, Msc.D., PhD. Eldorado, NM
"Give yourself the gift of self exploration
through ceremony, spiritual community, and new paradigms of
unfolding the soul with Raven and Takara as tour guides ....
don't let these opportunities pass you by unless you want to
miss out on fun and creative gatherings. Hope to see you at
a coming event soon."
- Page Press, Santa Fe, NM
"I had a healing session with Takara . . . I could
viscerally feel the energy pulsing up and down my meridians
. . . The synergistic energy was electrically surging through
my body. I felt so energized. I have three fused discs in my
spinal column and deal with chronic fatigue. It's the most energy
I've felt in 3 years."
- Suzy Couvee, Encinitas, CA
"I would like to dedicate this poem (below) to Raven and
to all his relations, in appreciation for my wonderful experience
at his Sacred Medicine Lodge. Thank You.
The Lodge
I watched Raven as he walked and prayed, gathered
wood and prepared for the sweat lodge ceremony that lovely day.
The air was charged with magic as little people
gathered and dragons hovered near. We gathered blankets and
tarps to cover the willows bent in homage forming a dome-shaped
dwelling.
Precious objects were placed upon the altar
to be blessed as the fire cooked lava rocks until they smoldered
and sparkled.
We followed Raven on hands and knees clockwise
into the lodge carefully around the fire pit that awaited the
stones.
Stone people were carried upon deer horn to
the fire pit as Raven blessed each stone with cedar praying
all the while.
We sat waiting in the darkness humble and quiet
as ancient spirits sang thru Raven while he prayed and played
his music.
We were transported back to a time when ancient
ones sat in sacred circle connected to Great Spirit and Mother
Earth.
Thru Raven, the winged ones chased problems
from our hearts and minds, gently and kindly Raven led us thru
the ritual.
We met each direction giving our sweat to Mother
Earth. Burdens lifted from my shoulders, my mind cleared.
My heart opened as I moved thru the prayers,
sounds and steam.
After the fourth direction we followed Raven
on hands and knees into the cold night - warm, purified and
free.
Fire crackled its dying embers, Grandmother
Moon shone as star people smiled upon us on that cold winter
night.
Raven then brought us into his home, his kindness
and care continuing to nourish us with food and drink.
As I drove home that night I knew I had undergone
transformation of my Soul - that Mother Earth had my burdens.
I prayed, grateful for Raven and all his relations
for this most wonderful and beautiful experience.
I have been in many Native American sweats,
but none where I have felt so accepted and so at home.

We co-sponsored a wild dolphin experience
with Dolhume Synergy. This is what they had to say about us:
"It has been our pleasure to work with
Raven and Takara . . . They have integrity and to us this is
extremely important. We feel they do their jobs well and have
genuine concern for both parties. They bend over backwards to
make sure everyone's needs are met. We will continue to work
with them in the future."
- Cindy Gianelli, Coco Sandt, Ellen Solart,
Dolhume Synergy, Prescott, AZ
"I've just reread your Rising from the
Ashes article in this issue. The past few days I've had a lot
of gratitude for the support that I have been availed of over
the years. I'm especially appreciative when I find a consistent
source of quality information such as you provide. So even though
you haven't seen any direct results of assisting me please know
that your information has been immensely helpful. Really cherishing
the presence of dolphins and whales I'm also grateful for the
focus you have in this regard. blessings.
- Cassandra Noel

love, compassion, peace and harmony. I look forward to receiving
my newsletter every month -- it helps me stay on track
and balanced in my busy and hectic life as a working mom and
wife. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in the distractions
of everyday life and lose the feeling of connectedness -- the
newsletter helps me re-connect. I especially appreciate the
info on the power of our words since this is an area I have
had to struggle to overcome. Blessings to you as you do this
important work, and thanks!!!!!!
- Light & Love - Claire Boettler
"Thanks
for your incredible newsletters. I'm always so uplifted,
informed, inspired..." -
Jamie Zimron, California
"Dear Takara: First of all I always look
forward to your newsletter. It was only last night
that I was reading over last month's wanting to share some
of your ideas with my husband. Then, this morning there it
(the next newsletter) was waiting for me. I devoured the entire
newsletter in record time; hungry for your comforting words
and suggestions. I just want to say, thank you, for sharing
your experiences and thoughts. Spirit of Nature is truly appreciated
and used everyday as a mentor and "heart healer"
as well as a reminder that I am not alone in my beliefs and
reasonings. Your Commentary on the "Oneness and the Human
Condition" was a wonderful reminder of what comes first
in your life. This everyday world that I live in is very different.
I find myself getting caught up in other people's values and
sense of right and wrong. This leaves me with a sick heart.
Your newsletter helps, among other resources, to keep my heart
chugging along on the right tracks."
- Carol Hairfield, Moseley, Virginia
