So, thanks to a friend of ours who took Jim´s advice to heart :), we came together for a short walk in nature yesterday. We chose Lainzer Tiergarten - a nature preserve, where you frequently see wild boars, wild goats, deer and such roaming around the woods. We went up the small hill by Nikolaitor and then walked over to a very beautiful meadow where we sat down under a tree and just enjoyed pre-spring weather. The sun shone warmly on my back, while from the West strong winds came through. They howled and came with such force, which I have rarely felt up there. I sat and tried to listen to the winds words…
what I heard is that the strong winds come to pick up the old things to make way for the new ones. At one point on the way down I got to watch a really nice view of the wind picking up quite a few old leaves and making them “run” across the earth.
So while we sat under the tree, it was peaceful - at least for me, I didn´t mind the wind, it was refreshing, I felt somewhat like being shaken through by the winds and I enjoyed that. Also, I brought the Grandmother Moon Pipe - she wanted to come! And the friend who initiated the whole walk into nature, her pipe felt the calling for the outdoors too - Wonderful ! Without having talked about it, we both brought the pipes. And also the whole group turned out to be somekind of a Lady´s circle - unintentionally aswell.

All in all, I really enjoyed the outdoors again, I got to feel nature again and saw what is currently happening. The winds, and the boars somewhat wandering at a distance in the woods but still somewhat in a circular motion around us. Oh, and Grandmother Spider paid me a visit too - as soon as I had opened my bundle. I felt good in the group, was relaxed and the time seemed to stand still up there - a wonderful feeling compared to the hustle and bustle one is constantly surrounded by in the city.

So, whoever felt like this could be something that could take place more often :-)… we already talked about a possible “Wandertag”- a day of hiking, when it´s a bit warmer.

Hier eine Ankündigung für einen interessanten Vortrag !

Museum für Völkerkunde Link

Ethnohistory, Anthropology, and Indigenous Knowledge
Vortrag von Prof. Regna Darnell, University of Western Ontario
Montag, 22. März, 18.30 Uhr, Vortragssaal

Gemeinsam mit dem Institut für Sozialanthropologie der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften lädt das Museum für Völkerkunde Wien zu einem Vortrag in englischer Sprache von Frau Professor Regna Darnell von der University of Western Ontario ein. Professor Darnell, die sich im Rahmen des Canadian Leadership Program auf einer Vortragsreise durch Europa befindet, ist eine der einflussreichsten Historikerinnen der amerikanischen Ethnologie und hat überdies wichtige Feldforschungen bei den Plains Cree und Ojibwa in Ontario durchgeführt. Sie ist Trägerin zahlreicher Auszeichnungen, darunter von der American Philosophical Society und der American Anthropological Association.

Although the inter-discipline of ethnohistory emerged in the1950’s to inject a Native American point of view into the work of the U.S. Indian Claims Commission, it has evolved into expanding the historian’s concept of history to incorporate Indigenous Knowledge as transmitted by oral tradition. The work of anthropologists with contemporary keepers of such knowledge traditions adds a dimension of interpretation to archival histories that invites a long overdue reassessment of how we can understand the past from multiple standpoints and deploy it as a guide to coexistence in multicultural and transnatitonal contexts.

Eintritt frei

So, we finally made it to the Sitting Bull Exhibition here in Vienna at the Museum
of Ethnology. It will run until the 15th of March2010 - so if you still have some
time at your hands - go and check it out. It is worth seeing, and if you spend time
with the things shown and have some good guidance at hand ( ) the better.

We were weary about seeing Pipes exhibited there, but I don´t know the
exact background to each one of them, so I won´t judge anything here.
My little girl loved the shown girl´s dresses, the quilts and moccasins - so
I handed her the camera and she became my official photographer
for this occassion. (You are allowed to take pictures without flash.)

Thanks to a friend of ours - she tried hard to find a date suitable for
almost everyone and then getting us all together -  we had a nice
afternoon, although we were a bit rushed at the end, as we still had
some errands to run before all the shops close on saturdays.
We might be back though !

Here is the information in English
und hier auf Deutsch !

January 2010
In January I had my second ceremony “in public” with the Moon Pipe.
We sat in a seperate circle and focused on the pipe and the messages we got.
The other circle had more pipes coming and it was talked about the “Spirit Sight”.
Maybe someone else will be able to “fill the gaps” here.

February 2010
And in February, so we´re talking about yesterday, I joined the big circle
as no specific “moon circle” was needed and that felt really good.
Big message for the group yesterday was:
“See everyone for what they truly are” - leaving all the crap
aside, leaving all the things that might bother you about others behind and
find that place inside which makes you feel a deep love for all beings just
the way they are. The rest is just perceived stuff anyhow, I don´t think
that this has anything to do with what people really are - at their core -
namely beautiful expressions of the Creator.

Okay, I have to admit, I haven´t written on here for a while because I simply
haven´t felt like writing anything, anywhere. But I will try to make up for
it at least a little bit.

Jim´s Visit to Austria, December 2010
As we were not able to go to the Pipekeepers Gathering last year, it was great that
Jim agreed to follow our invite to fly over to see us. I loved to have Jim here with
us in December, although I must confess that what in my mind started as a need to
see and talk to Jim and just “hang out” turned into a rather busy time for him.We
scheduled his lectures, ceremonies, had to find a seminarroom and fit other
engagements of his in. In the end, I felt like Jim came and saw, did lectures and
then had to leave again. Well, he really did more than that.

Lectures and Ceremonies
I really missed almost all of them. I was so busy to take care of all the framework
that I didn´t find time to sit at his lectures. But I heared that he deeply touched
people during his presentations of his book and audio CDs, during his talks and
in the ceremonies. I have the opportunity though to now listed to his CDs and
make up for a least a tiny bit. How lucky am I.  I promised myself - next time I´ll
make arrangements so that I have more time. And be more relaxed.

The Coming of a Grandmother
One of the ceremonies I was able to attend, involved my personal pipe. The pipe
who I have been working with for years was ready for a change. I always wondered
why “my” pipe always wanted to be rather plain, simple, no fancy artwork, nothing
that would define a bit more from the outside as to who it was.
That changed when Jim came and talked with me, the spirits and pipe and in
ceremony the moon pipe for the pipe circle over here was born.
I am so honored. And I am so happy.
And so, once this had happened…how should I put this…I got the orders.
White leather, new stem, new wrap…and so the transformation of the
pipe I am carrying has begun. It´s exciting. And the difference in the “feel”
is amazing.

Awakening new pipes
Yes, there were new pipes, which we held an awakening ceremony for.
Guided by the other pipe carriers some instructions were given
to the new pipe carriers, and we hope that all the new pipes will
join us during the open ceremonies held during the 2010 year.

Much more has happened during the time he was here. I hope next time
we´ll have more time with him.

Osiyo my dear friends and Heart-Family!

A New Year is upon us (according to the Calendar, at any rate) and a new cycle begins of the 2010 Open Pipe Ceremonies! In December we saw an encouraging amount of growth, and in keeping with this momentum some small changes are being made. Thanks to the graciousness of Fr. Suse Legler, we have a location where our future Open Pipe Ceremonies can be held, with more space to accommodate this growth and expansion. With the inclusion of a Sacred Moon Pipe, our options have likewise increased considerably. We’d again especially like to thank Jim Medicine Tree for his work with us in December, and we’re looking forward to this year’s Open Pipe theme: “Reconnecting the Sacred Hoop: In touch with Spirit”.

As a result of this growth and expansion, we humbly ask for a donation to assist in covering the costs of the room rent; please note, this is NOT an “entrance fee”, but a free will offering so that the costs involved need not be a burden carried by one person or persons alone!

Many thanks to everyone who has helped make these Open Pipe Ceremonies an astounding success!

Hope to see you all there!

Hier nun der vorläufige Plan für das Wochenende mit Jim Tree in Wien von 11. Dezember abend, 12. Dezember und 13. Dezember:

DOWNLOAD Jim Tree Flyer

Ort: Seminarraum Praxis Suse Legler, Diehlgasse 37, 1050 Wien

11. Dezember: ab 18h (abends) - wahrscheinlich ein Talk über ein Thema*
12. Dezember + 13. Dezember: ab 14h Buchvorstellung und Hörbücher, Prophezeihungen der indianischen Ureinwohner Nordamerikas, Power of the Pipe,……

Es wird immer darauf ankommen, was jene Menschen, die zu seinen Vorträgen kommen, brauchen bzw was Spirit wichtig empfindet - dh darauf wird dann ad-hoc Rücksicht genommen und daher können die genauen Themen auch etwas abweichen. Wir gehen mit dem Fluss !
Vielleicht wird sich auch der eine oder andere Talk evt zB vom Freitag, dann am Sonntag wiederholen oder so.

Um Jim´s Reise geldmässig zu unterstützen, werden wir einen Beitrag für die Vorträge einheben. (In Kürze dazu mehr…keine Angst es ist leistbar und keine Unsumme, denn Geld zu machen ist nicht unser Ziel. Wir wollen auch niemanden ausschliessen bzw sich dadurch ausgeschlossen fühlt).

Danke !!

*Gerade jetzt im Moment wissen wir noch nicht welches Thema als erstes am 11. Dezember abends angesprochen werden wird, da erst am 14. November eine wichtige Zeremonie stattgefunden hat, an welcher wir auch teilgenommen haben.
