DCME Training is on July 13th
This is the next training before our annual trek to the Reservation for the Fun Days for the kids. You want to be there, especially if you’re stuck teaching swimming lessons only in the kiddies’ pool (my back, my back, aches and pains only). Get the skills, mindset, and DCMEness to help people in the proverbial corner with a knife at their backs. I can’t tell you how many members have been thrust into this situation over the years. Helplessly watching ‘real doctors’ fumble over your loved ones is a hell reserved for people who know better but choose not to act. You may not choose to see HEAVY DUTY cases, like people who get sucked into the downward spiral of severe disease—step toward this ability. You won’t be sorry.
The Grief Retreat Is Still Processing
Imagine starting the training by smoking a healing pipe 16 years in the making with its maker, Kenny Smoker. The weekend's highlight was having Kenny share his love and knowledge with our group. Imagine having a mother speak about losing a son and the grief sequela that followed, swallowing up her other son’s life. What about being buried underground in a coffin? Imagine the healing, intense heat, and peace of being in a sweat lodge and the coolness of dipping in the pond after the ceremony. Imagine the haunting melody of the drum and the sacred rituals, including the footwash and burning letters and artifacts at the sacred grief shrine. It is so difficult to put in words. Yes, there will be another one next year.
“The weekend was full of rebirth, new beginnings, new life, new awakening, new insight, and new illuminated path. The sweat, burial, and burn were exactly what was needed to be felt. I am grateful to hear the wisdom from Dr. Kevin & Kenny. Keeps me on the warrior path and remembering what I need to do to stay alive and in this best life, and help people too.”
“The Grief Seminar. Wow. In the beginning, I did not know why I was attending, or why I was there. There is nothing I was grieving. I was so mistaken, the deepest fear, disappointment and worry were hiding so deep below the surface that until now they were invisible.”
“I am so grateful for the safe space/container that this weekend has provided—the freedom to release and let go to just BE myself, to stop people-pleasing and worrying about what others think while I fade away. I am so thankful to Dr. Kevin and Kenny for sharing their wisdom and teachings with us. I am also grateful for everyone who is here to make this our tribe and bring a sense of belonging.
I am so grateful to have Dr. Kevin in my life. I haven’t really had anyone who sees the potential in me and pushes me in my life. Most have just brushed me off or just said great job without extending much guidance. Thank you, Dr. Kevin, for being the person in my corner and taking a chance on me and seeing ME.
This weekend has helped me see and bring back who I am and am meant to be, for living my life as I intend and am meant to, and not the way others foist or think I should, or to please others. I feel lighter, yet more grounded and rooted.”
“Sometimes a boiling chip, catalyst, or even lighter fluid is needed. This weekend felt like those things. There were moments of clarity that helped me to see my situation, story, & life differently. There was action taken. Opportunity to let go. No imitation --- the real deal. Thank you, Dr. Kevin & Kenny, for imparting your wisdom & teachings unto us.”
“The Grief Retreat was a breakthrough weekend, and I don’t use the word “breakthrough” lightly. I have a history of being guarded and resistant to feeling and showing vulnerability and my true self. It comes from early childhood woundings and never feeling truly safe. I was finally able to let go. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t pain-free. What helped is that Dr. Kevin created a safe and supportive environment to acknowledge our griefs and traumas to make it possible to set ourselves free. I’m optimistic that I can now move forward with a true lightness of being. I arrived an ugly caterpillar, weighed down by my own limitations. Tonight, I emerge as a glowing butterfly, spreading my wings.”
“In TNR, we are taught many things: how to clean up old stuff, how to let go of things we need to let go of, and how to heal ourselves. In theory, this is to help us in healing others. I have experienced this many times and in many ways previously. This Grief Seminar was truly the ultimate in gaining knowledge and learning how to heal myself from where I am now.
The honesty and authenticity I experienced with Kenny Smoker and Dr. Kevin reached me in a way I had not felt before. Many tears were shed, but I felt they were tears of healing and renewal. I have many steps that I need to initiate and complete. The Grief Seminar has shown me how to accomplish that.
At this point in my life, I do not know where I would be without Dr. Kevin and his teachings.”
“An experience of the ancient and arcane. No explanations are necessary; it speaks for itself. It was an opening for initiation, not a guarantee. The process of maturation was on full display. No shortcuts and no avoiding what needs to be recognized and grieved for years, even decades. The world can put things into books, podcasts, and videos, but the true experience can never be replaced. I am grateful for the other people for playing full out as well. Dr. Kevin and Kenny gave us their undivided attention and helped each one of us towards a rebirth, a second chance at life for those with the courage to take it. There’s nothing else like it.”
“Today I left my old self behind. All that I have known as the person I was. I have cleared the slate for more space for the life I choose instead of the default I have been living on. The experience of the Grief Retreat opened my eyes to new things I didn’t realize were holding me back and also let me feel deeper into the stuck things I have been hesitant – or outright resistant to letting go. Dr. Kevin, your guidance and compassion, and a healthy dose of realism shook me to realize that I have more to lose by hanging on to my life of default than I do by leaping into the unknown.
Kenny’s presence and teachings were one of the many sacred components, and his teachings reached a different element of my spirit and awakened something inside of me. I am so grateful for this sacred healing experience and everyone involved to create this opportunity.”
“Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. It was so much more than I ever expected.”
Fundraising Efforts For Fun Days Are Underway!
Let’s make this year’s Fun Days our most extraordinary. Kenny is planning a kid’s POW WOW for us. It’s a way for the kids to recognize, share, and give back their love, appreciation, culture, and beauty. We will be handing out lots of food door-to-door, at the Thundering Buffalo Wellness Center, to the homeless, seniors, veterans, etc. Even with Darryl from Main Street Grocery giving us wholesale prices, purchasing the food takes lots of money. Get your entire office involved and keep your eyes peeled for the LARGE DONOR who can put us over the top. We need all hands on deck for this one!
From the Mind of Miyagi
What if you were not told the whole truth about healing, disease, and who is the authority? Who grants you permission to heal? A bureaucrat, a licensing board, university presidents? What does a politician know about healing? How did ancient indigenous people heal without any technology? If you couldn’t see under the tip of the iceberg, you would be doing something that you certainly love to do and are good at, but it’s fiercely limited, restricts healing, and you are regulated on which disease you can work on and which ones are off-limits. How can this be? What are the man-made authorities protecting people from with their man-made laws? The same people who make it a law to inject poison into you and your loved ones.
What can you do about it if you are black, red, yellow, or white? It’s how you are; everybody should have all the rights, responsibilities, and privileges. All men and women are created equal, right? Your rights are inalienable, right? Not so fast. In the world of ordinary, TRUTH has no place and instead is replaced by what the people in power dictate. In every category, people of race, creed, color, or gender are not treated equally, especially when it comes to matters of health. Disease is worshipped, and health is marginalized. The real money is in disease, worship, research, and agendas promoting disease. There are no buildings and research devoted to health.
Have you ever imagined that health is the great equalizer? The world needs to hear from us, not falling in line with aches and pains only. Freedom is health; we only care about it when we lose it by getting casual with it or ignoring it. I love hearing the people in my Miracle Training say they had been diagnosed as hopeless, or another kid of color that doesn’t matter, or a female in trouble; oh well, it’s not my problem. They are marginalized; they don’t matter. A senator’s son is another story. In TNR, it’s all of our problems. We are all interconnected regardless of recognition or understanding of this concept. When you help a person out of trouble, you set the record straight about color, personal history, diagnosis, the limitations of medical care, family upbringing, etc. It doesn’t matter how a person got tangled in thorns, pricker bushes, or barbed wire, it’s a causal. What matters is getting the person out of the circumstances, not analyzing, categorizing, or commenting on the problem, which most Western healing/disease methods focus on.
Health is a freedom the world knows nothing about. Next week, my Miracle Training client you met at the Grief Training will be released into the world after 23 years in captivity. He will live outside his parents' home for the first time, work, become self-reliant, be successful, and represent what a kid can do when they have someone in their corner. A bird in a cage is an unnatural dimension. A doctor/healer being told what they can and can’t do is in an unnatural dimension.
DCME Confidential
Question 1: My DCME/Level 2 client keeps putting off writing a testimonial. Do I give up and stop nagging them?
Answer: The testimonial is a critical part of the healing process, not only for the person but also for their loved one (if applicable) and people who will read it and be inspired.
Question 2: My DCME is starting to miss appointments without giving me advance notice. What is happening?
Answer: You are losing altitude with your DCME. If I had to guess, it’s maybe nearing the next pay period, or they are experiencing pressure from someone they have to answer to. The solution is always the same…NEXT!
