Sacred Place, Healing Pathway: Introduction
Episode 1
In this video program, our family and friends will share with you how we experience sanctuary on the “pathway for keeping”, as we decolonize our full human experience of mind (healing from the generational impact of trauma, addictions, and lifestyle imbalance), body (reviving physical wellness into daily living progressively), spirit (growing in a restorative and developmental relationship with our triune Creator God) and our social/environmental relationships (living in harmonious relationship with nature and others in God’s Kingdom). Please join us on the Journey Home!
Access: Gate
Episode 2
Accessing a restorative relationship with our Creator God through knowing and following Jesus involves our whole human experience. We access, or come to an understanding of our Creator by healing our mind. We give our Creator access to our heart through how we care for our bodies. We access reconciliation with our Creator through a spiritually intimate relationship with Him. And we can create access for others to desire their Creator when the Holy Spirit works through our relationships. Our family and friends will share by our life stories how to access a restorative relationship with God through mind, body, spirit and relationship to nature and others.
Need: Altar of Sacrifice
Episode 2: Gate
Episode 3
The next element in the sanctuary courtyard, just inside the entry gate, was an altar of sacrifice. The purpose of this altar was to burn sacrifices brought by the people to pay for their wrongs of breaking God’s laws of love. It was the place where they repented and acknowledged their need for reconciliation with God. The only way for their wrongs against God to be reconciled was by the sacrifice of a perfect lamb. This perfect lamb represented God’s plan to pay the price himself through His son Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life in order to reconcile our debt of wrongs against His Ways of Love and restore us to a right relationship with Him. A little over 2000 years ago, God sacrificed himself in the form of His Son Jesus to pay the penalty of death for everyone who has broken His Way of Love by hurting ourselves, others, and Him. He did this to fulfill the need of all human beings to be restored into right relationship with Him once again. Our family & friends will share with you how reconciliation with Creator God has enabled us to decolonize our mind, body, spirit, and relationship with nature and others. In this way, we are able to thrive more fully as our Creator intended for us.
Cleansing: Washbasin
Episode 4 (COMING SOON)
“There was a time in my childhood, when my father was actively working on his healing journey. We were living remotely and away from our home territory. It was during this time that he was practicing Oomsootch every day in the River for 6 months. He told me that it gave him a feeling of so much power and he wished he’d had someone to help him learn how to use this spiritual strength.
Unfortunately, he didn’t find the strength of community or mentorship around him at that time and soon relapsed. I’ve since come to understand personally the need for the spiritual cleansing process to include community and mentorship.
The Bible shows us that Jesus provided that mentoring for his disciples and then upon leaving earth gave them the mentorship of the Holy Spirit. This empowered them to support and mentor others through community. Their message for us is this, “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.”
