Sounds True update!

Sounds True is a spiritual publisher based on Colorado, US. They invited me to be one of their presenters on Year of Ceremony but this program has now ended. The global community these ceremonies called together continues to exist as a group called The Shamanic Path. Senior producer Mitchell Clute has invited me to stay involved as an occasional presenter. We recorded video interview/presentation in June 2019 about my first two books (Natural Born Shamans and Sacred Art). In October we will do another video presentation about rediscovering and reviving the pre-Christian spirituality of The Netherlands (my country of birth). Stay tuned! 

SOUNDS TRUE - THE SHAMANIC PATH

New Moon Global Call to Action
From Imagination to Passionate Activism
A FREE Interactive Global Conversation
with Michael Stone & Imelda Almqvist
Friday May 3rd 9-10:30am Pacific

SIGN UP

To go on a world peace march without addressing the conflicts within ourselves and in our own lives, does not bring peace. Doing inner work is activism too!

The demon we really need to wrestle with (as Jacob did in the Bible) is not the serial killer or mass murderer (those are best left to law enforcement and the FBI) but the toxic belief that there are “two kinds of people”: good people and bad people, superior races and inferior races, people like me and people different from me: “Us and Them”. That way of thinking has caused some of the greatest atrocities in human history. Unless we police our own consciousness and activate our Inner FBI (as it were) all of us carry within us the seeds of such things occurring again.  
-Imelda Almqvist in her upcoming third book: Medicine of the Imagination
 
The greatest source of suffering in the world is born of the myth of separation. Science has proven, without a doubt, what the ancient ones have been saying for millennia; that everyone is connected and everything we do, say and believe, every action we take affects the whole. We are not separate, rather we are an integral part of a vast living system that is created in our beliefs, perceptions and worldview - these perspectives literally shape the world we live in on a moment to moment basis.

If we want to change the world we live in we must first imagine the kind of world we want to bring forth. For far too long we have been focused on what we don’t want, which is based on the past based beliefs. Join Michael, Imelda and our guests as we explore the vast potential of the power of the human imagination...
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge
is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world,
stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

PSYCHOPATHS & PSYCHOPOMPS

We live in a youth and beauty obsessed culture. Collectively we are in denial about Death. This is one area where young people can lead the way and be our teachers by facing Death (and all the issues and decisions that surround it) head-on (and creatively, playfully!)

My Time Travellers Group (shamanic program for young people) make a field trip to Nunhead Cemetery in London, UK once a year. Believe it or not, this is one of their favourite sessions!

In this video some teens and "tweens" share their perspectives on Death, teaching all of us some ;powerful lessons along the way!
