 Finding your own Power Song

 If you feel you are out of balance, out of your centre

I can help you to find your own Inner Melody, in many different ways, sometimes by using meditation and relaxation techniques, by chanting and using Sound Healing techniques, sometimes  just by 'Being' so one day you can sing your Individual Power Song again...if you feel this is what you have been searching for...contact me and and perhaps I can give you guidance and support, walk beside you for a while, until you feel balanced again to continue your own Journey in Life...

A Unique Event in Scotland
by

Nehdni Apache/ Cherokee Elder
Joseph Reuben Silverbird

"The Healing Power of Native American Music, Song & Dance"

An Evening where Music, Song and Dance will be an Instrument for Healing and Raising Awareness
Raised in New Mexico/ Arizona, J.Reuben Silverbird's mother was a Cherokee/Dine medicine woman and his father was a NedhniApache spiritual wise man. Both possessed beautiful singing voices and incredible instrumental musical abilities. Growing up in this unique spiritual and musical world has influenced and molded the Love, Respect, Spirituality and Music that Silverbird practices today.
He has traveled to the four corners of Mother Earth with spiritual leaders from all over the world, bringing his captivating stories, wisdom and music to millions. J. Reuben Silverbird, has recently been guest speaker at the "Kalachakra Teachings" in Switzerland by H.H. the Dalai Lama and personally negotiated in Peace Talks between Israel and Palestine.

Silverbird, is a Peace Ambassador for the United Nations as an NGO, (Non-Governmental Organization); He is only one of the countless women and men Ambassadors who speak on behalf of
"Love and Peace throughout the world today."
Honored with being chosen one of nine spiritual leaders to do a Blessing Ceremony at the United Nations in NYC, Vienna and Asia, his voice has been heard, on behalf of Peace, in Washington DC in front of the White House before an audience of 1.5 million people and via Satellite to television viewers all over the world.
He has carried the message of the Native American Spiritual way to children of all ages, to young and seasoned professionals, teachers, professors, as well as high echelon peoples in government. His stories and tales come from a vast memory bank of past Ancestry and present day Native American history. Whether traditional or contemporary, his lectures are always Spiritual, Musical and Educational.
His subjects are intertwined with words of wisdom, and always a touch of humor that he learned from his father; by sitting in, as a child, and listening to him speak on delicate Religious issues with Bishops and other Catholic Clergy Officials, as well as Politics with leading Politicians of that era.
As a result of this training, his mind is gifted with a wealth of material that helps him
be at ease with any size audience or in the company of Dignitaries such as:
Governor John B Connelly, President Arafat, The Dalai Lama, Bobby Kennedy and Governor Clinton, when he decided to campaign for the Presidency.

 'Circle of One'

Women's Sacred CircleWelcome to the Circle of One…Today we live in a very hectic world full of chaos.....At times it can be difficult to see through the troubles that surround us and we forget how to stay in our centre of Power....Power of Love, Beauty, Compassion, Joy, Balance and Harmony.....Join me in the journey of Re-connecting the Divine Feminine Energy , so you can feel more in balance within and without… It is important to stay connected to these 'Gifts', that we all own through our birthright. It has come to me to set up a group for Women to re-connect and join together to remember the Power we all have within. This group is called 'Circle of One'.  In Scotland (UK) the women meet in my garden, in a Mongolian yurt. The yurt gives us a sacred space, which represents the womb of Mother Earth and connects with Father Sky. It provides a safe and beautiful space for a woman to meditate, sing, chant, drum, laugh, cry and share what she feels is needed at the time. Sometimes we focus on a certain theme, which might be an Equinox, or Full Moon. We can use this time together to re-connect with our Divine Feminine Energy to heal ourselves and others. We support each other in our journey to our Higher Self and invite and welcome all Wo’Moon. We will be vessels for Peace, and in this environment, you have the possibility to find moments of re-connecting with who you are, surrounded and supported by Wo’Moon. I encourage Wo’Moon to start their own ‘Circle of One,’ to bring the Wo’Moon back together, with the intention to bring Peace and Harmony into the world. I will support you to manifest this into this world, if you are interested in starting a Wo’Moon group. I travel internationally to share what I do. I have learned several healing techniques by different Shamanic practitioners, and spent time with several medicine man and women from all different corners of the world. I will share some of this at the Wo’Moon Circles Ceremonies , as there is a  need to be reminded of our ability to heal and protect ourselves so we can be to service to others. My aim is to help to bring the Wo’Moon back together, and to share what I learn along the Path.If you feel this is something you have been looking for; to be able to follow what your soul-being is longing for, it is not surprising that you are reading this and that we have crossed our paths here so far.....Thank you for re-connecting. Perhaps you now want to step into the Circle of One. If you would like me to facilitate a Circle of One Gathering near you, please contact me. Dates for our meetings will be on my website. If you feel you want to be on my mailing list please send your contact details to me at:

the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that -- it lights the whole world.'
