Transformation through Sound: The prophecies tell us that new, powerful means will be given us at this time when we are so in need of immediate transformation, and I want to share with you an astounding process I am using and promoting. It is a new type of sound technology for personal transformation (which will lead to planetary change), which is available on cassette. These special sounds work to make the brain more efficient, create the healing of deep meditative states, and bring to the surface (in the form of emotional material which can be gracefully cleared) anything blocking your highest and best functioning at any and all levels. For me it has been radically empowering and emotionally / spiritually transformative in just the few months I have used it. There are a continuing series of deeper and more profound levels: the first one, Awakening Prologue, costs $149. and is worth much more than that in personal healing.
For information and ordering, contact Centerpointe Research Institute, 4470 SW Hall Blvd. Suite 173, Beaverton, OR 97005 ( 800-945-2741, operator #7). Be sure to ask for operator #7 every time you call for any level and tell them Brooke sent you-that will key in my referral information. If you tell others about it, please ask them to do the same. This will help support me in a good way, too.
This is one of the best things I can offer for your continuing awakening and transformation during the time I am on retreat. Be sure to let us know if you decide to use this incredible technology!
Ecological Moon Pads & Tampons - Free
from toxic chlorine bleaches, synthetics, CTMP, rayon fibers,
additives, fragrances, resins and surfactants. Oxygen Bleached only -
no dioxins. Dioxins, a potentially harmful by-product of the chlorine
bleaching process found in tampons, have been found to collect in
fatty tissues of animals, including humans. Even low levels may be
linked to cancer, a tendency toward endometriosis, low sperm counts
and immune system suppression. Studies suggest that the use of
all-cotton tampons may reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome when
compared with rayon and rayon-blend tampons.

One Spirit, Many
People
Author Stephen Buhner describes the
irrational prejudice of both fundamental Christian and conservative
Native American groups toward New Age/earth based spirituality. In
this powerful and much-needed book, Stephen vindicates and supports
the movement toward a cross-cultural Earth-centered spiritual
practice. If you have experienced this prejudice and would like to
communicate with Stephen, contact him via trishuwa@aol.com.

"THE GIFT OF THE SACRED PIPE" Illustrated by Vera Louise Drysdale.
From
Black Elk's original account as recorded by Joseph Epes Brown,
1947.
University of Oklahoma Press
Paperbound edition
$29.95
First published in 1982, this is a book of great significance and beauty - featuring the stunning artwork of the late Vera Louise Drysdale (1923-1994). Based on Black Elk's original account of the Seven Sacred Rites of the Oglala Sioux, it contains eight large visionary gouache paintings and twenty-eight drawings. Over five years in the making, it is a precise, masterful tribute to a great people.
This book remains largely an undiscovered treasure that deserves recognition - not only for Mrs. Drysdale's commitment, but for the spiritual richness that was once part of a truly North American way of life.
