Our Mission:
To Preserve The Cultures of Indigenous Peoples and Their Environments
and Educating The Public Regarding Their Wisdom

In these times of dynamic change, when the earth’s resources are diminishing at exponential rates, when the consciousness of man is sensing some innate calling toward spirit, the few remaining, communities still living in a truly sustainable manner on this planet are nearing the top of the endangered species list.

The Baka and Maasai of Africa, the Maya and Huichol peoples of Central and South America, Native North Americans, Aboriginal people of Australia, Peoples of the Arctic; all of the ancient indigenous and modern cultures on this planet are threatened with extinction.

Join us at The Sacred Earth Foundation as we bring this ancient wisdom forth to teach those of us living in a manner that is not sustainable to walk differently upon Mother Earth, to join in community, to prepare our sanctuaries. Our ancestors are stepping forth in forgiveness and love to show us the way to prepare for the times to come.

Ancient Paths to Initiations for Women

We bring to you, with great joy, the opportunity to participate in women’s initiations.

This commitment by whomever chooses to participate needs to be really clear and we feel it is imperative for each of you to get a taste of what will be ahead. Please join us if you feel called to initiation.

Experience the profound transformation of stepping into you own radiance. This program will begin on the new moon of August (Aug.1) and continue for a period of 9-12 months. The length of time involved will depend on the participants. We will create a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary knowledge. Beginning at 6:30 PM we will gather around a fire and will begin by feeding ourselves with a potluck and getting to know one another. Following our introductions, there will be a council circle where each and every participant will get an opportunity to express their questions and concerns regarding the content of the program. We will be prepared to address these in depth. There will be ceremony during this gathering and we ask each participant to bring something that is precious, something to which you are attached; however, this will be something that you will no longer have at the end of the evening. Donations for this evening will be appreciated... More about Ancient Paths to Initiations for Women

Private Healing Appointments
March 9-12, 2009 and March 20-21, 2009

Once again we are all ecstatic from our recent experience with Angaangaq. Our very vision of what Shamanic Healing really means has been transformed. We were shifted at the very core of our energy, in our cells, in our perceptions of whom we are.

You may find your transformation through the use of the feathers of the Ptarmigan, the power of the Qilaut (wind) drum, or through the breeze from the wing of a swan. Angaangaq is the first man from West Greenland to hold his medicine of the Shaman since 1821. His power, love, compassion and desire to heal the world permeates his very being.

African Divinations by Freddie
Available by Appointment
Contact: pati@sacredearthfound.org or phone 805-845-8777
$135

Though born and raised in the American mid-west, Alyson 'Freddie' LeBlanc has undergone authentic shamanic training. She was unexpectedly called to the ancient tradition of Sangoma in 1998 by Baba Colin Campbell of Cape Town, South Africa, through a 'Throwing of the Bones' divination performed for her while she was visiting a South African friend. More about African Divinations...

Journey Through Thwaasa

Freddie's shamanic journey took her to the Kalahari desert and arid veldt of Botswana in early 2003, where she underwent an authentically traditional sangoma initiation for three solid months, learning and being deeply tested by her Babas as well as by other master sangomas during that time. Sangoma training goes on for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until, during a demanding and dangerous 3-day ceremony, an initiate is deemed acceptable to those sangoma elders who carry the powers of the lineage. More...

The Gifts She Brings Forth

Her training in ancient African divination provides a unique experience of the ancient art of spiritual diagnosis through the throwing of the bones, which are tied to her ancestral spirits - and to yours during your reading. Each session lasts approximately one hour, includes intense 'downloads' of information from Freddie's lineage of family and African cultural ancestors - working directly with your own lineage ancestors and guides, and personal counseling on the basis of the reading's content towards personal solutions for your life issues.

VIEW PAST EVENTS

Join Patricia Turner and Alan Leon for a tour of Machu Picchu followed by a trip deep into the Amazon Rain Forest to experience the wisdom of a third generation Shipibo tribal shaman. Alan has organized and led these trips for more than 3 decades and has built an intimate relationship with the native people throughout his journeys.

Fair-world solutions through positive cultural contributions
Our visits have been a strong part of recent cultural revitalization as our interest has given the people new pride in their heritage. More than 80 percent of all monies paid to Sacred Heritage remain in the lands we visit and of that, more than 30 percent goes directly, in above average wages, to the more than 100 indigenous villagers and native healers who assist us in our travels. Since the beginning of this service 30 to 50 percent of our profits have been donated to family and community needs, as well as ecologically and economically sustainable village projects.

Included in the journey price will be offsets for our travel created carbon. These are positive emissions reductions via funding 3rd world projects of poverty alleviation, health benefits and increased biodiversity.

Following 3 days at Machu Picchu, we will stay two nights at the healing center and hotel Hampinear in village of Ollantaytambo. From there we head on to Cusco to visit the ancient ruins and to be guided to the marketplace where crafts gathered from all of Peru may be found. By day 8 we begin our journey deep into the rainforest. Our camps start with a day's ride in a motorized covered canoe, following various rivers into remote rainforest. We travel along the Ucayali River, just down stream from Machu Picchu. More
