 “It has been my desire to bring to the people who frequent my centre, a sense of world and cultural family.  Standing Bear offers his message of peace and togetherness with a special ingredient of humour.  People walk away from his circles and workshops with the true meaning of his teachings in their heart.”
Kathy Jones, Founder and Director Natural Health Clinic and Education Center. 

 "I felt a safe environment to release my fears, release from stress, to let go and reconnect with myself. I didn't expect such a powerful
transformation. I no longer just live a life, I remember to have one."
Linda Rapai

 I have worked with Standing Bear, I have watched him grow; I have seen him
develop and mature from a young lad, afraid of the world; not knowing his place
in the scheme of things, into a great warrior. We have trained in the Martial
Arts for many years and have the lumps and bruises to prove it!

When Standing Bear speaks, we need to listen; when he plays his flute, we feel
our hearts open; when he beats the drum, we feel the earth move. He is a man of
great spirit and wisdom - who 'walks his talk'.
