Attention: Caretakers of Sacred Space

Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls

     You know, When Creator gave us this mission over 5 years ago and told me there was a place to build this community of healers and visitors, I wondered how we would ever find the land that Creator had in mind. It was really an act of faith to follow Creator's guidance and locate this place out of all of the US. It is quite a story in itself how Creator led us to this place. And when we found it we saw the angels and guides and masters all coming forward to greet us and welcome us.

     What I didn't expect was that Creator had chosen a sacred site, a holy piece of land, a place that has its own miraculous healing power. No one has ever lived on this property before, it is virgin and it is in a forest of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. As I work here and build here with the help from others that Creator sends like yourself, I see that everyone who visits this sacred site receives a healing. Not through a person, but through the holy miraculous place itself. We are becoming more and more aware of the spirit that is there, of the healing power that Creator has put on this land as each visitor, without fail, receives the healing they desire.

     We are discovering that it is sacred like Fatima, like Lourdes, a holy shrine of miracles touched by the immense power of Creator deliberately and this has been a sacred site for thousands of years! There are civilizations who lived here that go back even before the Native Americans. I guess I didn't expect Creator to give us a sacred site. I was happy to just receive a place, but isn't it just like Creator to give us not just land but holy land to protect, preserve and build a community on so people can come and visit and receive their healing on this sacred site.

     I am sure that as we honor this holy place and grow it into a beautiful intentional shrine that it will give us more and more of what it has. How often do we have the chance to develop a sacred site, to create facilities around a sacred site for visitors? How often do we get the chance to build buildings and housing and conference rooms and labyrinths and meditation huts and works of art and other beautiful spiritual reminders around a sacred site? How often are healers invited to come and work at a sacred site?

     Most sacred sites in the US today are on federal land. The Native American sacred sites were kept hidden by those tribes. They were natural places like mountains and springs and the pond here on this land, and the tribes just let them be natural and would return to the mountain or spring for ceremony. They did not live there, they did not mark them or build anything near them. In some ways they wanted to keep them hidden from outsiders, keep them for themselves and not share them even with other tribes sometimes. And today the miners and gas and oil companies go in and tear down the mountains or springs and build refineries and strip mines because they say, well there is nothing there! And the Native Americans cannot fight with the companies. I heard an Elder say just last week that it would have been better to build a building around their sacred site and this would not be happening today.

     So I see the need to develop a sacred site with intention and light and love, with the help of angels and guides who can show us and tell us the best way to make a beautiful place around the site so that it is kept sacred and preserved for all people.

     When LHC began, there was extreme difficulty trying to make it a non profit place. I wondered why it became impossible, mostly due to new tax laws as the government is not thrilled with non profits. They want the tax money and are working hard to eliminate non profit status. But now I see that if we had gone non profit it would have given outsiders too much control over this sacred place. So we pay the taxes just as Jesus did and we can go ahead and preserve this sacred place without their interference just as Creator intended.

     I was recently in Hawaii and saw the same thing happening with their shrines or heiaus. The military just takes their lands and builds military bases and shuts the people out from their own holy places. The Hawaiian elders recently lost their court battle to reclaim their sacred sites on government land.

     By building this intentional community around this sacred place at LHC we can hold it forever in its own light and beauty and power. We can assure that a group of healers live here and take care of it forever. People who can respect it and honor it. And we keep it open to all peoples to come and visit and stand on this holy ground and be healed.

     I was really surprised and humbled to see that Creator not only chose to build this community but also to give us sacred land on which to build. Everyone who has come there has received a healing. We have had a heart disease healing here, documented. We have had a healing from alcoholism there.We have a documented case of a thyroid cured. Many healings of body mind and spirit. One fellow came there so sick that I had to give him my staff so he could walk around a bit on the land. I gave him my staff and he walked away by himself. He came back an hour later practically skipping down the path without my staff. He was a changed man, happy, light and free.

How blessed are we to have a place we can go to receive healing in this way! How wonderful is Creator! I especially love that no human being is needed to access this healing power. No one has to talk to anyone, or do anything or pay anything to receive the healing they truly are willing to receive! How rare is it to find a place you can go and be healed all by yourself just standing in a holy place and accepting!

     What we need right now to create this place are people who are aware that it is here. we are still in the creation stages of this project. We have only been here since January of 2006. We are trying to ready at least one building per year. We now have a wonderful guest house and a main house and a camping area. We are trying to raise funds for this purpose. All the funding comes from donations. This is a "not for profit" concern. We have trimmed the trees and laid stones in the paths and chipped a lot of wood for the fantastic healing trail and cared for the pond, the seeming center of the healing power here, so it is blue and beautiful instead of muddy. We have electric and water installed and these are huge jobs. We have cleared 15 camping sites and over half of the land is still completely untouched and unimproved. We need hands and feet to come and help. We need funds for buildings and chapels and shrines. We need installation artists to come and build beautiful works of art here. We can provide food and lodging for artists who can meet the needs. Just send an email to info@lifehealingcommunity.com We need healers willing to come and visit and help push a wheelechair or make a meal for a visitor or be that listening non-judgemental ear for those people who come here and do want to talk to someone or who do need help to make their visit safe and comfortable, or who do want masage or Reiki or another form of healing. Is this not what healers do? And for the healer to come here and experience this miracle place for oneself is far better payment than money! Wow!

We welcome those of you who would like to exchange your help here for a bed and food for a few days or weeks. There will be permanent acknowledgement for all who contribute in any way. It is a community of healers taking care of a sacred site. Come and get involved in this once in a lifetime opprotunity to build a shrine!

     In a very obtuse way it becomes a kind of alternative hospital doesn't it! And of course we are already open. We offer campfires and singing and dancing and prayer and ceremony and weekend events to honor the land and to gather people together for what Creator wants to have here. It is already manifested by Creator. It is only for us to be the hands and feet to accomplish the physical work.

     I just wanted to share this incredible place with you and if there is anything you can do to spread the word that is wonderful! I have a brochure on word that can be emailed to anyone and printed out just like a brochure.

     I hope you can come here personally and experience this sacred place for yourself. Last week a visitor got down on her knees as she felt the power on this land. The angels on this land are very tall and strong, unlike other angels I have known, ancient, quiet and watching to see what we will do. Will we honor it as Creator intends it to be honored? Or will we ignore its healing power and let our egos run away with us?

     The more we do that is aligned with Creator's intentions, the more the angels and guides come out and smile and begin to participate themselves. They are watching us. It is our choice to make this place what it should be or not. I cannot do this work alone.

     My mission here is to be the anchor. To recognize the sacredness here and to create a community of healers to work here and honor the miraculous healing that Creator put here for all the world. When the work is done I hope to be just one of the healers who lives here offering support to each visitor in my own little way. I am so honored to be part of this incredibly sacred place.

Aho!
