Typed in a google for Whirling Rainbow and came across a site of one of the people funding Holzwarth's visit to Yellowstone for the upcoming Eden Event or Gathering of One....this one made me sick to my stomach. Not only is this misguided fella thinking he's getting something authentically Native American, she managed to sell a few more ceremonies to him in the process....read the whole thing. It's a candid posting about his interaction with Holzwarth and how she operates...which is EXACTLY how we all were suspecting she did....

In my phone call with White Eagle Medicine Woman, we discussed many
topics ranging from the coming of the Hopi Elders to the Eden Event to the history
of the Grandmother Drum, to which she is the guardian and keeper. The Grandmother Drum represents for us a physical manifestation of what White Eagle calls the
Grandmothers. Amazingly, inside the seven-foot wide Grandmother Drum is embedded crystals in the shape of what we know as the Shekinah seal of Peace. This magnificent drum is the voice of the Mother, what the angels have told us in their language is the Voice of the Shekinah. Indeed, I can attest that when I have listened to the Grandmother Drum I have heard the Voice of Shekinah as I have heard this voice in the extreme quiet of Mother Nature.
Our hope is that White Eagle will be able to attend the Eden Event and bring
the Grandmother Drum to Yellowstone. If you haven't seen or heard this gift of the
Grandmothers, go to
www.youtube.com and type in "Grandmother Drum" and prepare yourself for a message in complete harmony with our own.
Two remarkable stories rest in place already because of our connecting with White Eagle through Barry Goldstein, who interviewed this medicine woman on World Puja Radio Network. The interview is archived on their website for August of 2007. I strongly
recommend everyone listen to an affirmation to what we, ourselves, have been called to
co-create.
The first story has to do with how we eventually connected with
White Eagle. She had sent me an e-mail stating that she had heard from Barry and was being called into meditation as to whether and how she might work with or support the Global Eden Event. About this time, Lynn Jones and Gayle Buchholz had reconnected with two Hopi Elders. After meeting with the two Elders, Gayle and Lynn asked them if they would join us at Yellowstone. The one Elder from Tuba City, known as the Keeper of the Secrets and Prophecies, shared a few of the prophecies that seemed to point directly at the work we are doing around Oneness and Peace. As he shared this information, three eagles circled above them.
Previous to this, he wanted a group of us to visit him to make sure
of our intent and our path. But with the circling of eagles, Gayle took the opportunity
to ask him again if he would come to Yellowstone to teach us the Dance of Oneness. And he agreed he would.
The other Elder, from Second Mesa, was quite enthused about the direction our work is
headed, and spoke to Lynn and Gayle at length. This Elder is more open to modernity and
the efforts we as the White Nation are moving toward. It was this Elder who met with a
South American tribe regarding their common prophesy of the coming together of the
Eagle and Condor. Not only did he also agree to come to Yellowstone to join us, but he
has also stated that he will create a sacred design that will be turned into a pendant to
commemorate the Eden Event at Yellowstone.
What's really nice, is that these pendants will most likely be put up for sale before the
Eden Event to help fund the Hopi journey to meet us, even though it is our intent to visit them in February at their sacred dance festival, and to give them gifts to make their journey much easier. A group will be put together to offer them gifts and honor for this decision to join us. We know that the Keeper of the Secrets is a dancer and has agreed to show us how to dance the Dance of Oneness, and that ceremonial feathers would help them address their needs for creating ceremonial garments for the Dance of Oneness. We are also attempting to discover other needs they might have in the making of ceremonial drums and offerings. It will be left up to the First Nations Team to work this out as to who would go and what would be presented.
The Keeper of the Secrets has also agreed to make prayer bundles for those who would like to have their prayers answered through the traditional Hopi way. People would send requests for prayers along with a donation ($25), and in turn a sacred Hopi prayer bundle would be sent to that person. This would be another way we could show respect to the Hopi for their openness to us.
After waiting to hear from White Eagle, I decided to e-mail her again to let her know that the Hopi Elders had decided to join us at Yellowstone. Her response was immediate. She told me that in her spirit walk (shamanic trance journey) she had been told that the signal for her to engage with us would be the Hopi coming to Yellowstone. So when my e-mail reached her about the Hopi Elders' decision, she called right away.
We talked on the phone the next day for two hours. What an amazing conversation. As things stand right now, White Eagle has many commitments already for next year. In February she will begin a U.S. tour of the Grandmother Drum, starting in Colorado. There is a chance that she might be able to end the tour at Yellowstone if her other commitments in Alaska at that time will permit it. What she did share with me is that the spirit helpers seem to already be indicating a commitment of some kind toward Yellowstone. As part of the mission of the Grandmother Drum and the Whirling Rainbow Foundation, in certain areas they build smaller ceremonial drums, about 3 feet wide that they leave with a guardian or keeper as part of the network of sacred drums. At the time Lynn and Gayle were meeting with the Hopi, White Eagle's drum builders were in the careful process of building one of these drums for a city in western Alaska. But as the drum was being constructed, one of the drum apprentices began to have visions from the drum spirits. He went to White Eagle with the vision and she explored the vision herself. What they discovered was that the drum spirits were redirecting this sacred drum to Yellowstone! This means that White Eagle and the Whirling Rainbow Foundation have indeed, connected with our efforts at Yellowstone. It only remains to be seen to what degree their efforts will carry them. The ceremonial drum will be brought to Yellowstone whether the Grandmother Drum arrives or not. A process will be determined as to who will be the guardian and keeper of this sacred drum.
I have let White Eagle know that Robbie and I, as representatives of the Leadership Council have committed to paying White Eagle's expenses to come to Yellowstone, to whatever degree that may be. She asked how long we would wish her there. I told her, minimally one day — to bring the Grandmother Drum into the Dance of Oneness, which will call the tribes together. White Eagle shared with me that in her spirit walk she saw four tribes formally honored by our visits, as we will formally visit the Hopi. She could only remember three of the tribes, and will have to go to those who copied down the information to get the last tribe's name. The three tribes she could remember are the
Hopi, the Navajo, and the Shoshone.
If possible, it would be ideal to have White Eagle and the Grandmother Drum at Yellowstone two days, the second day using the heartbeat of the drum to set the vibration as we call in both the Grandmother/Shekinah and the Grandfather/Metatron as they move into Oneness through our own oneness. Robbie would have to have the ritual coordinator work closely with White Eagle's people and the visiting tribes, who will also be invited to the gathering field to join us around the Grand Formation on Saturday evening, so that our ritual honors all. If we decide to have additional ceremony with the Grandmother drum in our opening and closing ceremony, I told White Eagle that would require four days of participation. The number of days of potentially having the Grandmother Drum will depend on White Eagle's availability and our own ability to fully fund her entourage at $2500 a day, plus lodging and food. As Robbie and I have already pondered, White Eagle suggested we come up with an umbrella term for the Eden Event as we invite the globe. In one of her spiritwalks, she saw the name "The Gathering of One."
Something we should discuss further soon. For she also stated that this event will be so big that we really must move quickly because of commitments by tribal Elders and spiritual Elders. Bob Screws is the Outreach Team coordinator. Perhaps we should set a time table for this part of the Event.
I expressed concern in using proper diplomacy in inviting the tribes to Yellowstone. White Eagle offered to assist in this matter, and I let her know that she would be paid as a consultant for her talents. She not only has connections to the tribes of North America but also connections to the tribes of South America and Australia, to whom we will send forth messages in the future. But our emphasis will be on the coming together of the Eagle and Condor at Yellowstone. In the coming week, I will meet with the Boulder Spirit Circle of the Pachamama Alliance to let them know what has happened: that the
Hopi Elders, White Eagle, and the Quetchua of Peru have all agreed to either come to
Yellowstone or participate in another way with the Global Eden Event. The leaders of the Pachamama Alliance will be meeting with the Achuar of Equador next month. One of our Boulder Pachamama people will be a part of that group. My intent is to use this setting to announce to both the Achuar and the Pachamama Alliance the intent and purpose of the
Global Eden Event. My hope is that the Pachamama Alliance, with all its outreach and resources will join us in this effort, perhaps undertaking to fund the travel of the Condor tribes to Yellowstone.
White Eagle has also suggested that we work with her group to pay for a spirit walk session to get further direction as how to proceed in our efforts of bringing the Eagle and the Condor together. The cost of the session is $222 for two hours. I take this as an honor, knowing how trying it is for spirit walkers to enter into trance with the Otherworld for such a period of time. It is my recommendation to the Leadership Council that we do enter into such an agreement with the Whirling Rainbow Foundation as we begin the process of inviting the world to Yellowstone.
Much sharing of information on a personal level rounded out the two-hour phone discussion. Truly, I have met a spirit sister whose soul harmonizes with the Shekinah/Grandmother. But what fully intrigued me was our discussion about the Metatron, who has also become a part of White Eagle's mission. As we begin our own process of preparing for the coming the Metatron into the third-dimensional world, White Eagle has suggested that one of our people take her Internet course on the Metatron. As we move into common journey, I find this a worthy suggestion. I put it before the Council to find one of our people to take this on, and if need be, pay for the course work.
As we finished our phone conversation, I wrote down her suggestion that we begin efforts to also connect with Adam Yellow Bird of Earth Dance. Even though we are indirectly connecting with another remarkable organization through CommonPassion.org,
EarthDance.org, I do believe our Outreach Team should explore this suggestion of connecting with both Adam Yellow Bird and Chris Dekker as we begin to send out the announcement that the Bird Tribe of the Seven Colors of the Rainbow, who call themselves the Angels of the Nations, has asked us to call the world into Oneness at Yellowstone.
It is my intent to send out a message to the Circle of Sevens about what has happened, and to begin continuing that message through the Marketing Team and Outreach Team as we move into full engagement with the world. When the angels give us the sacred geometry that will be used by groups around the world, I will take this geometry to the people of the Condor and the Eagle, letting them know that the entire world will connect with them through this sacred design and our sacred ceremony.
From my heart to yours,
Gary
