In his various travels, he has lived in Atlanta, Sausalito, Los Angles, Phoenix, Dallas, and Austin.  He currently resides on his ranch outside of Austin with his wife Colleen.

    In 1986, Stronghorse attended a workshop with Harley Swiftdeer Regean in Texas which was followed up shortly thereafter with a Vision Quest throughout the Southwest portion of the U. S.  He has been an apprentice of Swiftdeer and the warrior/priest path of the Sweet Medicine Sundance Teachings of the Twisted Hairs Tradition of Turtle Island since 1986.  These teachings originated in South and Central America thousands of years ago and come from the lineage of teachers with whom Carlos Castaneda studied.

    Stronghorse is a 21-yr. Sun Dancer with the Dreaming Sundance tradition of the Twisted Hairs. Through a series of visions obtained during various ceremonies on Grandmother Earth, Stronghorse was led to explore the history and ancient traditions of the early Christian religion.  As a result of his study and research, he was led to become an apprentice to the priesthood of The Divine Order of Melchizedek. Lord Melchizedek was the first teacher of monotheism which resulted in the formation of most of today’s world’s religions.  Abraham was one of his main students and Yeshua Ben Joseph (Jesus) was another.

OAKWALKER

After a “Great Epiphany,” my journey into healing began with book learnin’—starting with Silver Ravenwolf’s To Ride a Silver Broomstick, Barbara Ann Brennan’s Hands of Light, and A Course in Miracles, which shaped my devotion to the healing path.

  • Early on it was mostly book learnin’, after my “Great Epiphany”. I learned some ceremony and healing from Silver Ravenwolf, in her books “To Ride a Silver Broomstick” and others. I learned a lot about the essence of Healing from Barbara Ann Brennan’s book “Hands of Light.” Influenced by “A Course in Miracles” I devoted the main thrust of my studies toward the healing side of things. I studied herb lore and healing from John Finch and Jane Richmond in Ocean Beach, San Diego, at the Self-Heal School. They were students of Rosemary Gladstar and Prem Rawat. I studied the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition from the Peruvian Master Don Oscar Miro Quesada. I went through his healing series, apprenticeship programs, sanctioned teacher training and years of gatherings and visits to Peru. Under that umbrella I was fortunate enough to study Peruvian medicine with Jason Blaesing, Tito LaRosa, Bonnie Glass Coffin, Bruce Metcalf and many others. I studied soul retrieval and dream analysis from Victoria Hoch, a student of Sandra Ingerman and Michael Harner. I was fortunate enough to be a student of Yona Welch, a Cherokee sweat master with Mateo Magee. I am a Member of the Melchizedekian Circle of the Seal, a peer of Stronghorse with that group. I’ve continued my work in circles with Mateo Magee, I am honored to be wed to one of Central Texas’ finest herbalists, Mrs. Jenny Oakwalker.

In Episode #40,  Stronghorse and Oakwalker continue their discussion of personal value, and how a return to balance and spiritual awareness is key to becoming confident in our own skins.

In Episode #43, Stronghorse and Oakwalker talk about the perceptual shifting that a general raising of all our consciousness will encourage. The opening of our hearts, minds and spirits are going to allow more and more of us to see the Universe in a much different way; more of an energetic one. Join Stronghorse and Oakwalker for their stories of their experiences in  these beyond-normal realms.

In Episode #49, Stronghorse and Oakwalker explore Free-Will. Why on Earth would a loving Creator want the free will of its creations? Is order possible? Are there other kinds of order that we don’t see? Hmmm…

In Episode #42, Stronghorse and Oakwalker continue the topic of parity from the perspective of the ongoing transformational shift into a new consensual reality. As spirits in a body, humanity will be seeing themselves in a new way.  We ARE the planet. That part about parity in the titles of these two episodes means coming into a right relationship with our home.

In Episode #48, Stronghorse and Oakwalker discuss self-defeatism. It would be so easy to miss The Shift, as it’s being called. Whatever tradition you are in, even if it’s a “non-tradition” like humanism or secularism, it is obvious that there are huge changes afoot. Sinking into our old patterns that have been defeating in the past might serve to keep us comfortable in the short term but are not going to feed us in the long run.

In Episode #39 (and next in #40), Stronghorse and Oakwalker begin to expose how much of our identity is reliant on the recognition that we believe others are supposed to provide, where that validation is truthfully available, and how to begin the transition into truthful self-awareness.

In Episode #41, Stronghorse and Oakwalker open the topic of parity with the environment in which we exist. As the changes wrought by human intervention scale up, how do we anchor ourselves into the real world?

In Episode #44, Stronghorse and Oakwalker continue their talk about the perceptual shifting that a general raising of all of our consciousness will encourage. We are seeing the Universe in a much different way; more of an energetic one, and it’s escalating. Join Stronghorse and Oakwalker for their stories of their experiences in these beyond-normal realms.
