At Coyote Springs we will be keeping our sacred fire burning from the 17th at 12pm to 19th 12pm.Becoming part of the One circle.The Sacred Fire is Coming Home – Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man. The fulfillment of an ancient prophecy that one day, when the world needs it most, the Sacred Fire will return to Greenland With the warming climate, not only is the Big Ice in Greenland melting, but also trees are growing there for the first time in thousands of years, enabling the Eskimo-Kalaallit people to have a Sacred Fire that comes from the earth, rather than from the oil of seals and whales. Ashes from around the globe will be placed in the Sacred Fire in Greenland on July 17th, 2009, uniting us in the circle which has no beginning and no end and in which we all belong. We invite your community to send us ashes from your Sacred Fire thereby uniting with us to bring a strong Indigenous voice to the climate change debate.
“Only by melting the ice in the heart of man,
will man have a chance to change
and begin using his knowledge wisely.”
Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man is a teaching from the Eskimo-Kalaallit people, a peaceful culture thousands of years old that has never known war. It summons us to bridge the distance from our minds to our hearts through strength and gentleness; through compassion and love; through courage and grace, bringing about personal transformation and global healing for the times to come. Please visit Sacred Fire Ceremony for more information. I also invite you to visit www.icewisdom.com. For this event bring tent, sleeping bag, etc. drums, and rattles.

Manyhorses was born of Witsuwiten ancestry in the Bulkley Skeena region of North Western British Columbia, Canada, and raised by his grandparents, both Traditional Medicine people, until he was 15. Shamanic practices and traditional healing were, and continue to be, his way of life
He travels extensively as a traditional native healer and has been a featured speaker and workshop leader. Frank walks his talk and shares the Wisdom of the Elders with those who need help. Manyhorses uses traditional healing psychology. He teaches the Path of Absolute Truth. He teaches us to live in the Sacred Circle of Unity.
The wisdom of Absolute Truth gives us the ability to be in unity with the Creator and Mother Earth. As we find our own truth, and learn to love and respect ourselves and become aware of our surroundings, we learn to love others unconditionally and without judgment. Absolute truth gives us the ability to think mathematically. When we realize that words have mathematical energy, we understand that words create specific energies.
The Absolute Truth takes us to the centre of our hearts where all answers dwell. This wisdom brings together men and women of all races and creates beautiful footprints for our grandchildren to follow, as we follow the footprints of our ancestors.

What Will You Learn?
- Breathing and body awareness exercises to help you focus and amplify life-force energy.
It is so easy and natural to learn, we’ve had little children and great grandparents pick it up easily.
- How to bring down pain and inflammation in record time.
It is a blessing to have something you can do to really help people that are in pain.
- You can observe bones automatically adjusting themselves with a light touch.
(Actually, the body moves them into correct alignment. You don’t have to figure it out.) This may well be the easiest as well as the most effective way to reduce or eliminate back pain.
- How to help reduce or eliminate back pain with better results than you ever thought possible.
There are many chiropractors now using Quantum-Touch because it is so effective.
- How to use an extraordinary distant healing method to get truly outstanding results.
Distant healing is tremendously effective and can be utilized when those you love are not nearby.
- How to amplify the power of your sessions with Toning and Vortexing the life-force energy.
- How to use the Amplified Resonance Technique to turbo charge sessions.
This is the most powerful technique presented in the workshop, and allows individuals to run energy as if they were a whole group of people.
- How to work with pets and other animals.
It’s a great joy to use this work with animals since they usually respond amazingly well.
The video-based format of this workshop is designed for people learning Quantum-Touch together, in a group setting. People have opportunity to ask questions, practice the breathing and body awareness exercises, and practice on each other. There are short 15-minute sessions, longer sessions, group healing sessions, sweeping sessions with partners, breathing practice, internal toning, and chakra sessions.
