Personal Mentoring Service with HMS Mentors
Helpers Mentoring Society’s mentors have been trained in our specific lineage of earth-base wisdoms. The mentors apply this understanding to help bring about transformation towards fulfillment and holistic relationships - internally and externally. Through working with, and integrating the processes which build connection, individuals, organizations and nature heal. People find a sense of harmony, connection, happiness and fulfillment.
In the past, people were surrounded with a village who could provide guidance and would ask deep 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.
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.
Understanding the Impact of Mentoring
When a person is guided to connection experiences and is supported with good mentoring, specific behavior patterns start to shine in the person. These characteristics seem to reside innately within us, often just under the surface, but need to be activated and energized with the power of relational building experiences and integrated with mentoring. The characteristics that shine brightly in people who have “turned on” through deep connection include:
- A profound sense of inner peace
- Deep empathy
- Increased compassion and sympathy
- An increase in lifeforce energy
- Engaging the moment with more passion
- Acting to help with whatever needs are at hand
- Clarity of thought and feelings
- Balanced relationship within their body, heart, mind, and spirit
- Increase in a sense of well-being
Available Mentors
Feathers has been working for the last two and a half decades towards the healing of humanity's relationships to the creation that surrounds them, working with both adults and youth to bring about deep connections to the elements that support life. He has compiled his understanding of these ways through a wide range of immersion experiences from multiple lineages and helped bring them to the many communities he works with.
Feathers is experienced in wilderness living skills and both individual and community mentoring processes. He is an advanced connection practice facilitator and has been working in this way with the Helpers Mentoring Society for the past 12 years. He continues to immerse himself into these practices to deepen his understanding and develop his skills in how to bring that connection to others.
He is a freelance mentor within many varied programs across the UK, Europe and America. He is also a climber, artist, and craftsman and loves to flint knapp and make fires. He also likes to laugh a lot.
Erica Thompson has been deeply engaged in Indigenous wisdom teachings and ceremonies since her adolescence. This early engagement has profoundly shaped her understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures and their practices. As a vital member of Helpers Mentoring Society and Bison People Land, she has played an instrumental role in both the founding and ongoing development of these organizations, serving as the HMS Woman Operations Manager and Social Media Marketing Manager.
In her roles, Erica offers a unique perspective and utilizes it by creating educational materials, coordinating women’s business, and promoting the Society’s current offerings across various digital platforms. In her spare time, she enjoys laughing and spending time with her family and often connects with bison, treating them to 'cookies.' Additionally, she prepares nourishing meals for HMS gatherings, emphasizing Indigenous culinary traditions. This aspect of her work not only meets the logistical needs of the organization's local and sometimes international events but also honors the culinary customs inherent in Indigenous cultures, fostering a sense of connection and community among participants.
Mentored by elder women and ‘faith keepers,’ Erica incorporates traditional teachings into her life and work, demonstrating a commitment to honoring both her ancestors and future generations.
