Batty Thunder Bear
Batty Thunder Bear, an Authorized Medicine Teacher in the ancient Native American Twisted Hairs tradition, has 27 years experience as a teacher of Spiritual Sexuality, Shamanic Healing Techniques and Ceremonial Alchemy. He enjoys sharing his love for the wonders of life and knowledge that works in seminars and ceremonial journeys worldwide. Born 1947 in Vienna, Austria Batty feels lucky to be part of a generation that not only initiated a sexual revolution, but also was for a short while able to travel freely into many different cultures to learn and live there. He spent the 60's and 70's with many journeys through Europe, Asia, Africa on his search for meaning and purpose of life, studying in different shamanic and tantric traditions. When he met 1980 SwiftDeer and Hyemeyohsts Storm in Austria, he made the Sweet Medicine SunDance Way his path with heart. In 1984 he moved to the USA to live and study with SwiftDeer. Now after 32 years apprenticeship to the path his love is to lead Ceremonial Medicine and Adventure Journeys to Power spots in the whole world, especially to Mexico, Guatemala, India, Nepal, Tibet, Australia, New Zealand and places of power in the Southwest of the USA. As workshop teacher, he offers a wide spectrum of Sweet Medicine SunDance Teachings. Topics include various levels of: Chuluaqui-Quodoushka: Spiritual Sexuality; Shamanic Healing Techniques; The Way of the Warrior; Crystals - Tools for Healing and Dreaming; Controlling the Dream; Ceremonial Alchemy and Magick; Roadmaps for Dharmic Lifestyles and Relationships. His intent in these workshops and events is to translate the wisdom and knowledge of an ancient shamanic tradition to the specific needs of modern societies without losing the beauty and alchemical power in that process. His personal way is to empower the individual to approach enlightenment by ‘lightening up’, gaining knowledge and learning through pleasure. The next ceremonial Medicine Journey is October 2012 to Aotearoa, Land of the Eternal Light, New Zealand. On this special journey we celebrate the birth of our New Self into the 5th world. Both the Elders of the Twisted Hair Council and the Maori Elders of Aotearoa agree that by now over 50% of the worlds population have closed their Karma Book and are ready to assemble a complete different reality. This will not just happen by itself but will need some natural and pleasant refinements in our connection to the Everything. This journey takes us deep into the magical dreamscapes of the Maori people. They too embarked along the West Coast of America many centuries ago onto their epic journey of the Seven Canoes to new lands where they found a new home in Aotearoa, the Land of the Eternal Light.
