Terre de Reliance is the fruit of a love and creative collaboration between Lorraine and David, a couple united by a common desire to design a space of sharing and transformation. Lorraine, guardian of the Hopi teachings in France, has traveled the world meeting healers and wise people, cultivating a vision of connection to the earth and holistic healing. David, with his eye as an artist photographer and his manual skills, brings a creative and practical dimension to this project. Together, they embody a beautiful energy of complementarity, nourishing Terre de Reliance's aspiration to flourish in harmony with nature.

Dear Community! I followed, guided by Lorraine Glatigny this journey in 2024 to meet the 13 Hopi Grandmothers associated with the 13 New Moons of the Year and I recommend this delicate and poetic journey full of discovery and exchange. Also a way to reconnect to the cycles through Hopi Perception and receive extra keys to experience your reliance with new moons.
Lorraine teaches us with her joy and good humor and it was a trip in each session.

The 13 Mothers: A Path of Wisdom and Connection
Have you heard of the Original 13 Moms? Their ancestral wisdom continues to inspire many souls in their quest for truth and harmony.
Starting in January, I propose you to dive into an equally rich teaching from the Hopi tradition, distinguished by its symbols, narratives, and unique perspective on the connection to the Earth and Spirit.
This spiritual learning invites us to explore the cycles of life, the forces of nature, and the universal teachings through the prism of a living tradition.
Does this speak to you? Have you ever explored the teachings of the 13 Original Mothers or other Native wisdom? I'll be glad to read your experiences in the comments.
Stay tuned for more information about this transformational cycle starting in January.

In Hopi tradition, every being carries a unique medicine that connects them to the Creator. While the unicorn does not appear in their traditional myths, it could still be seen as a spirit ally for those who feel its call.

...I began what the Shipibo call a year-long apprenticeship to begin learning this medicine and this cosmovision. A path of initiation into sacred plant medicine, the chants of the Ikaros, and shamanic healing.

Since then, this connection with plants and their songs has never left me. It taught me to listen differently, to feel healing like a breath, a wave, a presence. Much later, I rediscovered this same vibratory perception with the ancient Hopis: they too speak to spirits, stones, plants, and winds. There too, everything is alive, inhabited, carrying messages and medicine.

One day, Grandmother Medicine Song confided in me:

"Among the Hopi, the medicine man or woman always asks the sick person: How long has it been since you sang and danced?"

Often, this is where the root of the disease originates.

She’s a liar and a grifter. I met her back in the mid-2000s after she had just gotten back from doing a TON of psychedelics at burning man. Her real name is Colleen, and she’s from a well-off family in Massachusetts. She left home and started doing a ton of drugs and fabricated her entire backstory. Now she sells trinkets and “spiritual guidance” for insane amounts of money online. Don’t buy in to the grift.

no matter what your background is of course be very respectful
there was a lot of sacrifice that went into bringing these words forward
including the sacrifice of of being in the crosshairs culturally for doing that
so please be respectful but please resource White Buffalo Woman
for your heart and for your leadership and for how to embody this Consciousness
as your own key code

In 1993, and again in 1996, the U.S. Parole Commission denied parole to Peltier.

In 2000, Peltier petitioned President Clinton for clemency. President Clinton did not act on the petition.

In 2009, the U.S. Parole Commission denied Peltier's release on parole. At the parole hearing, Thomas J. Harrington, executive assistant director of the FBI's Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch, made a statement before the parole commission, stating that, "[T]he facts of this case have not changed. ...During the shootout with Mr. Peltier and his associates,...Special Agents Coler and Williams were wounded. However their wounds were not fatal. Mr. Peltier approached these two agents…then shot both agents at point blank range. ...This act of brutality was not an isolated incident. ...To grant parole to an unrepentant murderer would only inflict more pain and suffering [on the thousands of FBI special agents and their families inspired by the service of Coler and Williams].”

In 2016, representatives for Peltier petitioned President Obama for clemency and compassionate release. President Obama did not grant the petition.
