Hi! I was born into a new american citizen family! I was in utero when my mom and dad became US Citizens. They both grew up in Germany, both my grandfathers were WWII Veterans on the German side of the conflict. First generation American, the youngest of 4 daughters, I was the first to go to college. I graduated from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center with my BS in Nursing, and went off to OIS for the US Navy Nurse Corps. A few years later I was in the Army Nurse Corps, and was in the Nurse Anesthesia program, I didn't finish my MSN.. now I'm in the Master's/PhD program in Integrative Medicine through Quantum University, and also working on my MBA in Sustainable Business through Maharishi International University. I live on my forest ranch in Oklahoma, everything is all natural chemical free, no hormones, no antibiotics.. and the CEO of OWL Warrior Hub!

Sun is in Libra, the realm of Creativity

wait, but no, the sun is in scorpio! That’s what a western/tropical astrologer will tell you. The simple fact is that Western/tropical astrology still counts on the sun rising in the constellation of Aries at the spring equinox. This however has not happened since the roman era over 1800 years ago! The sun rises in the constellation of Pisces at the Vernal/spring equinox. This is the true new year. The sun transits through 13 constellations on its path through space. This another thing neither vedic astrology or tropical western astrology looks at. I have been watching the sky for a few months now and its a delightful journey! So on 1 November, 2020, the sun entered the constellation of Libra, the 8th key in this symphony! This 8th key is that of creativity, a time when the power of our thoughts is much more potent. During this time its important to know that we can co-create change, the kind of change we want to see. During this symphonic dance of ~ 30 days remember this: “to think it is to create it”.

About… Climate Change

A touchy subject for sure, but one that is either ignored, or totally misunderstood. The current buzz, cliche’ is to be sustainable.. to be 1% for the earth. What does sustainability mean to you? What does sustainability mean to us at OWL Trustee Hub? We start with asking “what is it we want to sustain?” In walking the path of “sustainability”, and I am using that term lightly.. we are NOT attempting to sustain.. what is no longer working. We are everyday listening to our partner Earth, and what it is she is evolving to. And that is what we are “sustaining”. Fellow earth citizens, the simple fact is, we are going through a change of time, epochs, and so everything is changing, including the climate. HOW is it changing? that is up to us, to work in partnership with our living, breathing, planet to navigate and evolve through climate change in the least cataclysmic way possible. To do this, we must unlearn what it is we have worked so hard all of our lives to learn. We start by honoring everything we have learned, knowing that if we remain full of that, there is no empty space for fresh learning. Honor what has been learned, let go of that, and become an empty vessel, so fresh being and knowing can rush in, and now our actions arise from a place of enlightenment. Lets gather together for hands on learning, not just talking, but first being.. and then doing.

Happy Equinox!

As we earth humans spin in space, the sun in its journey reaches 0 degrees, on the celestial equator. Astronomers have developed a lattitude/longitude system in the sky, to help us understand the Universal truth of “as above so below”. At the Vernal equinox, the sun rises at 0 degrees, 0 hours in the constellation of Pisces. It orbits, through the constellations in a easterly direction. The degrees go north and south. When the summer solstice arrives, the sun is at 6 hours +24 degrees. On September 20, 2020, the sun was at 11 hours 51 minutes, 0 degrees 53′. As of today, the sun is at 12 hours, 9 minutes, -1 degrees 1′.. meaning the balance of light and dark has passed, and the darkness will now overtake the light. We earthlings have been led to believe for centuries.. aeons that the equinoxes and solstices are only 24 hours.. 1 day. This autumnal equinox actually lasted for 5 days! As we at OWL Trustee Hub are watching the sky and living in harmony with the cosmic cycles that are also earth cycles, watch for our festival happenings that celebrate each rhythm transition. We have left the rhythm of summer, and are now in the rhythm of Autumn, the time of the harvest. The realm of abundance.

On my mind today

Well.. it’s been awhile since I last posted! My intention was to blog weekly, but .. that didn’t happen. Since my last post, you will notice that everything on the website says “Trustee”, and we don’t use the word Warrior once! In the story of The Peacemaker, Hiawatha tells the people “we have all been fed a great lie, the lie of war. It makes us see danger where none exists, it causes us to distrust our friends and to label the unknown as our enemy. This great lie causes us to shun the sources of our survival and to embrace the causes of our death.” It is time to dissolve this story of war, and not only write, but LIVE a new one. To do that, continuing to use the word “warrior” is not congruent with living a new story of peace. We have chosen to use the word Trustee, since we are Trustees of the future. If we continue to live the way we are, out of harmony with the natural rhythms and cycles of life, by Gregorian calendar time instead of Sacred Time, our next 7 generations will not have a future. We’re changing our call to “will the Trustees of the future rise to make a difference and matter? We dare you.

Greetings! Fellow Earth school humans!

Today I issue a call for the real warriors to stand up. The real warriors for the future of humanity. Now more than ever, your heart, your presence, your power is needed to ancestor your next 7 generations! The Warriors for the future of humanity are the ones who take a stand for peace- they speak and stand for those who cannot do so for themselves. They are the ones who do whatever it takes to BE integrity, harmony, peace & love for our world. They are the ones who are global citizens, living in oneness, wholeness, harmony with life. They are the ones who have chosen not to be absent, (how do we absent, numb out? recreational drugs, alcohol, apathy?) They open to being fully present. They serve as a candle in the darkness, telling an ancient story of the goodness, generosity and creativity of humanity. You will know these warriors by their confident humility, their fierce, passionate composure, and their open hearts full of grace and compassion. You can identify them by their positivity and cheerfulness. When asked how they do it, they will tell you about the discipline, the dedication, the adventure, the opening, and the tribe that is with them through all the ups and downs. The Warrior archetype is an ancient, primordial energy pattern that is in our psyche and society. It’s natural, innate and deep with in our energetic architecture. It’s a source of extraordinary energy and passion. With rare exception, warriors have been a part of every culture we know. It’s core values are protection and the preservation of community, honor, integrity, courage, discipline, inspiration, trust and clarity. It offers belonging to a tribe. Whether we recognize this archetypal energy or not, it will awaken and find a means of expression in and through us. Warrior-hood is a pathway through life with a set of values and behaviors that must be fulfilled and guided by a code of conduct. Warriorhood is a state of mind, heart and spirit matched with practical and physical arts that include wisdom gained from the daily journey of being in harmony with all of life. These arts are used to serve and preserve life. In the military, warrior are also taught how to kill. But when we came home, we were never absolved of the guilt of taking another human’s life. We can find this absolution, atonement through retiring the warrior who was trained to kill, and raising the Warrior for the future of humanity. As Chief Sitting Bull said “The Warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The Warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity. “ For us at OWL Warrior Hub, we add “and above all, stewardship of our partner earth, who longs to be our mentor in flowing through climate change with her.” I am another you, I am because you are Ingrid Blue Heron Warrior

Cohabitation Dehesas

Dehesa- The word comes from the old growth multifunctional agrosylvopastoral systems of Spain. The dehesas of Spain (Montados in Portugal) are examples of ecosystems where humans play a constructive role, maintaining and improving the landscape to benefit wilderness, all its inhabitants and humans equally. The area of land belongs to the village/cohabitors in common.

Forests seem permanent and natural. Few are. For at least 6,000 years men and women have shaped the woods. The forests as we know them are products of craft/art-ing.

Up until our time a forest was not a wilderness. From it might be harvested timber, firewood, tanbark, charcoal, fence and hurdle poles, splints for wattle, grass to pasture sheep, goats, cattle, horses, bison and more, acorns to fatten hogs, honey from beehives, ink from oak galls. In return, the users left the dung of the grazing animals.

A good dehesa looks like a park. The principal trees are oak, and under the trees are grasses and many more forage plants.

No one gets individually rich on a Dehesa, yet all live well. It requires a complex code of use allied to half a dozen crafts (or more) in a system of care and protection for all who come after. This has been going on since the bronze age and before. Since the Neolithic age crops have been planted among the trees.

Arting/Crafting careers

 Working for a living= merely surviving

Career-ing= inspiring for a short time

Art-ing/crafting vocation-ing= awakened radiantly happy living a full filling life.

 

Since humans began to build and settle down, there have been two versions of the world; the world made with wood, and the world made with coal and oil. One lasted 12 to 15 millenia, the other has lasted about 250 years so far, and is crumbling into non being.

Humans arose through the exercise of memory, reason and skill in a world that was warming and blooming. Memory gave to reason its material and skill proved a thought to be true (or not). Skill suggested a turn of the wrist, memory preserved it, reason compared it.

The human attributes-courage, faithfulness, patience, fortitude, prudence and honor were forged where the faculties met, in the making of home in the world.

Human beings learned from the woods around them. The more the people worked with the oak, the more the oak taught them what it could do.

When we talk about prehistoric Britain we tend to think of Stonehenge. What we seldom realize is that Stonehenge is by no means unique. Most of the henges that have been excavated were largely or entirely made of oak posts.

The shapes and patterns of all the henges are called entropic because it is thought that they were created within the eyes itself.

The human mind grew through the knowledge born of Art, of Craft, and in order to make, our ancestors had to imagine. In order to imagine, they had to make. Between thinking/imagining and making (art-ing/crafting) the world we know emerged.

To imagine and to make (art, craft) are reinforcing pairs that awaken your spirit to life a big talented full-filling life.
