IAM WINTER SOLSTICE SYMPOSIUM & FIRE TENDERS GATHERING 2022
Tending Sacred Space
Thank you for your interest in creating an altar for the IAM Winter Solstice Fire Tenders Gathering. This year’s focus is “Inwardly Strong”.
Throughout the ages, shamans were called to hold the container, with a clear vision for the health of their communities. Even with all our magic and shamanic tools, this service has become a challenge, and yet the call from the Wind Spirits grows louder and more fierce. This year I have been called to offer Sanctuary to our Community, and offer a Winter Solstice Ceremony, then lead a group to quietly tend to our Inner Flame. It is time to become “inwardly strong” as one of our Windies, Michelle Latinski so aptly called her personal result after two years in the WindWork ® apprenticeship program.
This year we will deepen the experience as we apprentice to the wind spirits to usher back the light. We will be holding a 10-day personal altar vigil. Instead of lots of activity and live presentations, we will walk quietly with our prayer in Nature. Renee will send a daily short video prompt, and there will be a private group for sharing your inner experience.

Steve Bull
Steve holds a Masters of Divinity and a Masters of (Clinical) Social Work. He worked as a Christian missionary for 16 years, pioneering two works: in the inner city of San Francisco as an outreach to impoverished Central American refugees; the other in the remote parts of Eastern Oregon to cowboys and ranchers. Following his ministries, Steve worked as a psychotherapist for 19 years, holding a license in Clinical Social
Work. Steve also functioned as a Social Worker and Chaplain for Hospice over a number of years. Experiences in ministry, psychotherapy, and hospice motivated Steve to integrate his understanding of spirituality, religion, and his professional training through the study of
Shamanism. How are people healed who are deeply, traumatically wounded on a soul/spirit basis, such as the veterans with whom Steve worked? How do people grow and enhance a connection with their spirit during their lifetime and then easily cross to the next life? How are people physically healed by working with their spirit in the physical/spirit realms? These and other questions have excited Steve’s heart and mind and continually led him to learn and access the spirit world. The authorship of this book has come out of the deep questioning that provoked Steve’s thinking.
Sally Denny
Sally has had an intimate connection with the spirit realm since childhood. Being involved in leadership capacities within the Catholic and Protestant churches she attended through the years, Sally has led retreats, seminars, Bible studies, and liturgical gatherings in lay and staff positions. For the last twenty years she has worked as a licensed massage and bodywork therapist. Sally’s private practice therapies are based on bioenergetics and polarity, which are ways of connecting and balancing the body’s energies, to bring both physical and life challenges into balance. She brings the power of Spirit into each client’s sessions, working to bring wholeness through intuitive and claircognizant healing. Sally enjoys time with her animals, family and friends, baking and cooking delicious foods, and creating beauty in her Sonoran Desert home environment. -

In 2015, Kevin Krenitsky, MD began the process of withdrawing from the constant focus on the external experience of working to obtain more... more money, status, etc.. After my position as Chief Commercial Officer at Foundation Medicine (FMI) successfully ended, I continued to work as the President of a small biotech company for a year and a half, but the pull to go "inward' became too great. In 2017, we sold our home and moved down to southwest Florida where we arranged our life around a full time pursuit of spirituality. At first, this was a continuation of the deeper principles of A Course in Miracles, but I quickly hit a roadblock there as well. That prompted another great "willingness" and this willingness led me to discover the direct path to the recognition of our true nature.
At that time, Kevin was going through an extremely difficult withdrawal from decades of taking anti-anxiety medication and one day while sitting in meditation, and in the midst of seemingly overwhelming anxiety, the mind completely stopped, dissolving into its source. In that timeless instant, all concepts were resolved. This was not an experience but rather the absence of all experience leaving only pure being. In this instant, all labels such as holy spirit, consciousness, presence, Tao, etc., were known and experienced as our eternal nature, which is happiness itself. Five years later, after considerable integration of this recognition, I wrote The Still Point to help others recognize the ever present reality of their true nature of peace and happiness.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Kevin Krenitsky is a medical doctor and author of The Still Point. Despite leading a life deemed outwardly "successful", he lived with a deep background of anxiety, fear, and stress that waxed and waned since early childhood. At the age of forty, in the midst of decades of suppressing tremendous inner and outer conflict, he reasoned there must be another way. This 'willingness' led to a decade of studying non-duality by way of A Course in Miracles. In 2015, at the height of a successful business career as Chief Commercial Officer at Foundation Medicine (FMI), Kevin turned away into relative isolation, and found the direct path to recognizing ones true nature. He wrote The Still Point to help others find their eternal nature, which is happiness itself.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Many people live lives riddled with outright anxiety and fear. Instead of happiness and ease being the normal state of existence, they experience happiness as only brief moments of joy, when some desire has been temporarily fulfilled. But it does not have to be this way; happiness can be recognized as our natural state of being.
According to Krenitsky, we are in the midst of the biggest wave of awakening or self-realization this planet has ever seen. Our unconscious living has not only created stress, anxiety, wars, and famine; our choices have brought us to the edge of mass destruction. The earth has suffered greatly from our collective human unconsciousness.
In The Still Point, Krenitsky shows us a better way. He shows us how to discover and live our lives in alignment with our true self. More than just a mental concept, the Still Point is a felt experience of recognizing our own self-aware being. When the Still Point becomes obscured by giving exclusive focus to the noise of the outside world, we lose our feelings of peace and happiness.
Engaging and thought-provoking, The Still Point takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, ultimately leading to the recognition that our self-aware nature is happiness and peace itself.https://authorkevinkrenitsky.com/ -

As the Cranial Sacral Therapist door was opened, I was drawn to birth imprints and birth trauma, leading to Pre / Perinatal professional training with Myrna Martin. A new passion was discovered. With Shamanism and Dreamwork also key doors on my path, awareness of a birth dream seemed significant as my journey intertwined with a Kundalini process. I struggled as things that appeared so clear were not aligning in reality. Unconscious patterns, ancestral, karmic and past life issues all came to the forefront. It felt like I was wading through an alternate reality that had me feeling weighed down with a stuck anchor. This process took years before the sun started to bring clarity and clear skies. Life’s spiritual awakening journey continues now with clear vision. At present I am Wind Walking with the Wind Clan as I invite the winds and writing in my life as I open to new channels ready to stream forth.
