Beyond Yonder Firewalks
« on: July 08, 2008, 08:04:48 pm »
Was in your original Yahoo group years ago and wanted to run this by you.
The following was posted today in a genealogy group I am in here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Appalachian_Heritage/ by someone who claims the name of Linda Heller. Another 'festival' charging money to participate and claiming to be "better than an E Ride at Disney". Wanted your opinion on it's various aspects.
Thanks, Michael

"You can walk the hot coals of life....
Beyond Yonder Firewalks
Beyond Yonder is conducting a fire walking seminar for our September
Festival.
Face your fears! Manage and overcome the most primordially ingrained
fear inherent in life forms on earth...
Walk on Fire!
Firewalking can reveal the key to breaking down barriers; mental,
physical and social. The key to unlock the strength within you that
is imprisoned by your learned fears.
Firewalks can energize teams, organizations and individuals by making
the impossible look possible.
Firewalking is as much about a state of mind as it is about an action
and the state of mind achieved for fire walking can show you and
others how to go beyond the limits that appeared to be constraining
you.
You can develop shared bonds inspired by this singularly unusual
process. Walk through fire!
Individuals will have a wider view of their personal potential and
will have an opportunity to overcome fear using time tested
techniques. Walk through fire!
Go a step farther than you thought you could. Find the inner strength
that you always knew was there. Be the leader that you, your family
and your company want you to be. Break your psychological and
physical bonds through the mental discipline of firewalking.
Register for your firewalk experience today by joining our group to
keep informed of our Sept Gathering that is coming up.


"Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves" , Mountain Herb Gathering
Moonlight glances off hot stones passing thru the flap of the
sweatlodge to begin The Talking Sticks' second round. Candlelight
shimmers mingle with the twinkles of fireflies as they dance among
the labryinth stones. Can you picture yourself here? If you're
looking for a community of fun-loving, open-minded, environmentally-
conscious, botanically-inclined, Mother Earth Lovers, then you've
come home! Welcome. September 11th (for camping set-up) thru the 14th
( going home after noon closing ceremony) 2008, the hills and hollers
will be alive with the sounds of laughter, healing, and positive
energy. Alternative healers, environmental lovers of Mother Earth and
diverse multicultural experts of Appalachian and Native American
traditions. . This three-day camping event will take place
in Confluence, Kentucky nestled in the majestic Appalachian
Mountains. This vibrant young festival is just waiting to be
discovered by one and all. Getting to this Gathering is better than
an E Ride at Disney. If you enjoy pristine wilderness, beautiful
Appalachian settings, and are wanting to get back to nature, come

for the Gathering.
I am holding a place for you. Please help by volunteering to teach,

Looks like some multiple cultural expo. Seems like their "FireWalkers" are more India related than NDN.  There are some of this type in the Islands, ie Trinidad, maybe more. Don't have "BellyDancers". "FireSpinners" are from Bangladesh. Some of it sounds Malaysian. I'm not sure what they mean by "at-risk medicine".  Depends on how they are using the term. Looks like a mix of probably some Nuage and different cultures. I don't see any Nation or Tribe identified, just use the term Native American. That is pretty broad, so no telling what that is.
