S8E5 Spiritual Journeys on Sacred Land with Lakota One Heart

Life of a Spiritual Nomad: Lakota Prayer, Sacred Mountain Visions, and the Medicine Wheel Wes Coons hosts Lakota One Heart Fraser on location atop a sacred mountain in Abingdon, where Lakota describes a Sundance vision that led her to buy the land marked by four "buffalo boulders" and a "God's Eye" boulder, trusting a handshake deal and yearly payments to create a retreat for healing and unity amid societal division. They discuss Lakota history, her mixed ancestry and "medicine wheel" view of humanity, and her childhood encounter with ancestors and a stone medicine wheel at Mount Haystack that began her lifelong healing work. Lakota explains White Buffalo Calf Woman, shares a personal Lakota song, and speaks about clearing darkness, a rebirthing ceremony that helped Wes after a haunted-house experience, and the importance of serving others, reconnecting with nature, and remembering people are never alone.   00:00 Lakota Prayer Opening 00:51 Sacred Mountain Vision 03:14 Handshake Land Deal 04:23 Retreat Healing Purpose 05:48 Gazebo Life and Animals 06:46 Lakota Origins and Identity 09:19 Crazy Horse and Unity 10:33 Mount Haystack Vision Quest 14:36 Medicine Wheel Healing 16:09 Ancestors and Spirit Guides 17:07 White Buffalo Calf Woman 20:42 Song of Reverence 21:42 White Buffalo Song 22:01 Morning Chant Memories 24:47 Electronics Glitch Reset 25:20 Rebirthing Spirit Journey 26:52 Haunted House Clearing 28:37 Darkness Versus Light 31:57 Never Alone Communion 34:05 Message to the World 36:15 Goodbyes and Contact 37:19 Final Blessing
