On June 30th - July 4th, 2020 people around the world lit a fire with the intention of healing and envisioning a bright future. The Helper's Global Sacred Fire Initiate and the Fire Light For Life event, spearheaded by Penny Jerram to help transform the fear, the deaths from Covid-19, and the stuck energy that has enveloped the world these past months.

Over the 4 days, many fires were lit with these intentions. Some people held a personal fire in their yard or garden, others join by lighting a candle or their home hearth. Many of the Helpers who have been trained by Helpers Mentoring Society held Sacred Fire Ceremonies. Some people even went on personal Fire Quests during this time.

After this global event, Helpers Mentoring Society was able to gather stories and sharing of the experiences from the various fires. Presented below are some of the highlights of those shares which are consistent across many experiences. These highlights are important sign-posts for all of us to consider ...

Join us on June 27th for a 4-hour webinar about how to work with the transformational power of fire, ceremony and the elements. Click on the link below to join us live and/or get the recording after the webinar:

Fire, Ceremony and the Elements

Have you struggled with embracing life fully, connecting to the natural world, or loving your fellow human beings? 

These are common experiences in this modern age. Feelings of separation, anger, isolation, rejection, neglect, lack of belonging and fear are modern expression of wounds and unhealed traumas of our ancestors and our own experiences. Through the wisdoms of the healing lineages we have come to understand that modern people need to simultaneously heal both individually and the ancestors to create lasting positive change.  

Finding the means to heal in a way the affects real change for myself, my family, humanity and the natural world has been a passion of mine since a young man. I've explored lineages of healing and worked with incredible indigenous medicine for the majority of my life. Through this experience I've found healing, profound connection to the ancestors and an understanding of life that helps me to commit to life. 

Here's exactly what is spoken about in this ...

Historically, people have been part of tribes, villages, and communities of deep relationship. People were surrounded with a network of people who could provide guidance, mentoring, support; who would ask deep and challenging questions. This level of support is missing in most people’s lives now, and it’s hard to replicate on the historical scale. What is available now is professional mentoring.

Helpers Mentoring Society offers several pathways to both personal (one-on-one) and small group mentoring. Our organization's mentors focus on several different topics including the following:

1. Personal Growth Mentoring - The missing ingredient in people's personal growth is mentoring. Personal mentoring accelerates growth and focuses on individual well-being. The goals of this mentoring are directed by the mentee.
2. Advanced Connection Practices (Lineage) Mentoring- Helpers Mentoring Society has ties to several powerful earth-based wisdom traditions which have combined to create a unique lin

For more on this fascinating subject join Sal and Jacqueline on April 25th for an extended webinar:Interspecies and Spiritual Communication - Extended Teaching Webinar

Both Sal and Jacqueline are coming together again to bring their teachings of how to communicate across species and to the spiritual realms that can help guide us with the times we now find ourselves in as human beings.

This time it will be on a much deeper level and we will include practices of how you can develop this for yourself.

Within this 4 hour webinar we will offer both deep teachings and practices on:

• Accessing states of communication outside the human family
• Seeing through the eyes of other beings
• Explore the ways in which animal communication can support all animals during times of natural disaster
• Working with human communication on the same level
• Spiritual communication and the forms it takes
• How animal perspectives can support human understanding of life
• Practices to develop clear communication...

These challenging times have not been unforeseen. The Wisdom Lineages have warned us that living in a disconnected way will have dire repercussion to humanity. Family and collective health, the balance of the natural environment and the well-being of community has taken second place to the pressures of modern life. 

As much as this virus may cause fear and stress, it is also a great opportunity to re-evaluate our lives and decide what priorities we want to give our energy towards. Take care of youself and your community's health first and foremost - and then take time to truly evaluate the life you want to live after this pandemic ends. 

Here at HMS we provide support to help individuals and communities to navigate challenging times, to heal and to find true well-being. For more information please visit: Helpers Mentoring Society Home

Addressing the Modern Challenges with Traditional Wisdom

I am sure you are aware the balance of the environment that supports life is swiftly changing. You are a witness to the fires raging across Australia and the hail and dust storms that then follow. Or perhaps you are noticing birds singing their spring songs in mid-winter, or the blossoms of trees out of season.

Nature is revealing to us there are major changes in the biosphere. With these changes come untold challenges - including overwhelming stress! Human are just now collectively starting to experience and acknowledge the real and devastating effects of climate change.

So the question is, 'as individuals, what do we do about this?'

In this video we discuss these topics and more:

• Prioritizing well-being to gain clarity 
• Earth-based traditional wisdom as a road map
• Nature Synchronicity as a guide
• Developing enhanced spiritual communication 

When I was 15 years old, I received deep insight and became hyperaware of the patterns of human interaction with nature. Because there is not a better word for this in the English language, I call this a “Vision.” This profound insight and the accompanying images occurred within my mind but seemed to be projected from the outside – coming down from up above. The Vision shook me to the core of my being and has directed the path of service my life has taken.

The Vision revealed to me the history of how humanity separated from nature. It showed me the current state of degradation of society and separation from the Earth. I was shown an account of humans in our pursuit and exploration of this world. At first, this exploration was healthy and we walked the path nature intended for us. But over time, the separation between humans and the natural world began. As people took dominion over life, our innate ability to understand and communicate with the natural world diminished. Over time...

Tending Ancestral Relations

We are the product of our ancestors lives

It has always been the case that the wisdom of the ancestors has guided the actions of us as humans towards a healthy future. With that connection all but gone what do we face? A disconnection sickness that threatens the very survival of the human family. Our modern cultures lack connection at their heart, the natural world suffers at our own hands, the children have little wisdom or mentoring on how to live in this life. We face these times now, and we chose to come here to be a part of this change.

Connection and healthy relationship to the ancestors holds a key to navigating this healing and creating a healthy more connected future for all our relations to live in.
