- Please tell us a little bit about yourself
- I am a mother of 2, and the grandmother of 1 grandson. I was raised on a ranch and grew up playing with native American (Pomo) artifacts, arrowheads, grinding stones and bowls as a child. I was taught by the "ancestors" connected with that land the ways of their people through the dream state, from the time I was a very young child. I have never lost that sense of connection to the land, the animals and to the spirits that dwell therein, and currently teach classes in Animal Wisdom and the sacred circle of life, or the Medicine Wheel. Although I am of caucasian decent, my spiritual soul has been raised in the native indigenous cultural traditions by the ancestors for most of my life.
I am also the creator of this TOTEM TALK social network community, and a professional channel of the ancient causal plane teacher known simply as "Michael". I have studied the Michael Teachings since 1983, and have been channeling Michael since 1985. I currently teach classes based upon both the Michael Teachings, and traditional indigenous shamanic and animal wisdom teachings.
I look forward to getting to know many of you better in the future through our new online community here on Totem Talk.
Best blessings to you, all-ways! ~ Warmly, Terri
