Milestones:
Summary
    1980 “New Sight” Went to Color and Healing workshop and met a Shaman – Star Bear, who said I should tell “Magical Earth Secrets” at the workshop. I hesitated as didn’t have my Bird Helmet.. he took me in a room with many sacred feathers used in the ceremony… he said, “will these do” – Dale did bring my Bird Helmet and I did tell the story of “Magical Earth Secrets” – for the first time. ( See photo below) When he saw the painting of the Sun Ray ( which was my interpretation of the Ancient Dale saw) – he told Dale after he wanted to mentor him and I also apprenticed with him. He helped us with a Vision Quest later.  I was draping the headdresses for Elemental Dodo and Rainbow Dolphin.
