About This Blog

This blog attempts to chronicle my interest and growing visibility in the shaman's way. As a child I was very open to spirit worlds, and this quality was fostered and nurtured by my parents, my mother especially. In my twenties I found myself immersed in the study and practice of Polarity Therapy, a holistic system of bodywork, counseling, yoga, and nutrition developed by Dr. Randolph Stone. I began my Polarity Practice in 2002, and it is from this point that shamanic doors began to open and I began to journey with my clients. In 2009 a radical series of life events and unexpected doors began to fly open in fast succession. The most deeply touching is that of the whirling dervish, where I was trained and initiated in a five month intensive process. Following the blazing path opened to me, I now work with daily practices combining many forms of bodywork, meditation, yoga, and ecstatic dance. I remain true to the beating heart of Ayahuasca on a personal level, and to the community of the Shuar from which she came to me. My doctorate on spiritual and artistic practice will be completed in 2014. Please share in my personal journey, it is ever growing and ever changing. As we each awaken and New Earth is being co-created, every one of your comments are most welcome. In Eternal Peace~ Hannah Skywalker Dancing Heart

Films

When spirit moves our lives change.  Ultimately, spirit is us.  For several thousand years the church and organised religion have taught us that spirit is something far away, in an imagined heaven, that we cannot reach ourselves, an other.  The esoteric teachings from which religion copied teach us that we are ourselves the great spirit.  Manifestation is thus the heart throb of all that is, and this is the secret of surrender.


As I surrender to the unfolding of my hearts desires, in alignment with the speed and streaming quality of the 2012 calendar cycle, I observe with humble amazement all that springs forth.


In Berlin, as a spontaneous addition to the Traces Collective Project, we created a music video :)  Our filmmaker, Natasha Todd, had this project to complete, and chose us to be the dancers for her video.  The result was a directorship of our natural energies toward another side of the diamond, similar in quality, different in reflection... Connecting to my growing interest in electronic music and the beats that are its grounding, the video is truly something beautiful!  Christian Loffler's 'Blind' 


Then as the weeks continued, further videos emerged.  Ines Bermejo Larranaga, a gorgeous dancer in residence with us at Gloguair, created a short dance film from our intersecting qualities :) 'Slow Are My Shoes' It will be screened at film festivals this summer.


And finally, a film emerged from the depth of the internet today which foreshadows all that is happening this year :)  Directed and produced by the young and talented Bethan Lloyd, 'Let Yourself Go' depicts Bethan's journey into dance and ecstatic movement.  The end of the film highlights the work of my good friend Shanti Scott (check out his most recent collaborations 'The Road to Peace' and 'Sex to Spirit') who opened the doors to me where dance and trance are one.  That was but a wee year ago ...  my how the speed increases at some phases of the spiral!!
