Has anyone ever heard of this guy.  What caught my eye is that he was taught by a Creek (Muskogee) guy named Bearheart.  Bearheart from what I can remember of him, made money on teaching New Agers in places like Florida.  And he was an exploiter.  If he really was Creek, he wasn't teaching Creek ways.  Most of his teachings were based on Lakota and Plains Indian Tribes.  I guess this guy he taught is in Peru now.  I wonder who he has helped in Florida?  Does anyone know about the Pine Arbor Tribal Town in Florida?

QuoteMarcellus Bearheart Williams, an Oklahoma Creek Medicine Keeper, is the adopted uncle of Alderson-Fekseko. Bearheart taught Fekseko the basics of Indian sweats as he understood and practiced them. At the same time, Marcellus Bearheart helped Fekseko discover much about himself in the process. To his worthy student Fekseko, Bearheart presented a Sacred Pipe, an Eagle Feather and a promise that Fekseko would help many people in Tallahassee and Florida. Bearheart's words were true. The other authors have also had equally valid, though different, sweat lodge experiences.

Anyone have any info on Reginah WaterSpirit.  I guess she took over after Bearhears' passing. 

On the Bearheart site, they talk about upcoming Vision Quest.  But only donations are accepted.  Since they never charge for ceramony.  :D

Aren't Vision Quest suppose to be only for Young Boys before they become men? 

QuoteWith the rising cost of gasoline and the resulting transportation costs, the suggested donations for Questers will be increased to $400 and $200 for Supporters. We are asking Questers to make a $100 deposit due at registration (non-refundable, but it can be applied to any future Bear Heart Vision Quest if you have to cancel), and the balance due 30 days before the start of the Vision Quest. As in the past, no one will be turned away for financial reasons if they can't afford the suggested donation.   You may contribute more or less.  Each of you should listen to your own heart and consider your own financial circumstance as well as the work that Eagle Eye performs for you while you are "on the hill."
