Hello!
Preferring my
middle name, I’ll introduce myself as “Camille”. How
thankful I feel to have experienced the intensive
training with Brandon Bays, and to be a certified
Journey Practitioner! When a friend lent me The Journey,
I couldn’t put it down until it was finished. And by
then my heart was on fire and inexorably pulled me into
this training. I saw it as a highly-effective
transformative vehicle in service to life. And the
Source-inspired inner Journeys I experienced brought
profound self-revelations on all levels. As I view it,
universal teachings often emphasize that we are already
whole and free. It is my Mission to assist each one of
us to open into an awareness of the pristine diamond of
our essential Being, beyond our unconscious ego
patterns. I feel grateful to learn from each person who
comes to me. I feel blessed to assist each one on
journeys into freedom, to rejoice with each deep
transformation, and to sustain this vision as it becomes
the outer reality for each one. My Life's Purpose,
revealed during a Journey Purpose session, is to be “a
beacon of love” here on Earth. My intent is to live this
daily in the highest way I know. You may notice the
enthusiasm with which I speak of The Journey and the
vital way it has influenced my life.
Spanning the last 49 years I’ve had a broad-spectrum
education & experiential background. First teaching in
California public schools, I later became a co-founder
of Myrtlewood School. The Mission was to provide a more
holistic approach to learning, in close connection with
nature. This grew out of an experience of living with my
family at Findhorn, Scotland in 1976, where I worked
with pre-school children as well as being a prolific
composer/singing artist. In the mid-80s, I studied
“Uncovering the Voice” at Emerson College, England. And
in the late ‘80s I trained to become a Waldorf Teacher
in New Zealand, finally teaching in Ashland Waldorf
School in the ‘90s. In 1999-2000 I became a Nutritional
Herbalist through Dr. Christopher’s School of Natural
Healing, and have had intensive immersion in local
Hellinger Family Constellation and Hakomi Trainings.
Composing music for over 40 years, I recently completed
a CD & book of “Children’s Songs from Nature: Drawing
Out the Human Values”, and for over 25 years have
created/hosted Intergenerational Family Festivals to
celebrate life, honoring our Earth Mother. Being exposed
to both East and Western thought - while living,
studying and/or teaching in seven countries along with
extensive travel - has allowed me to expand my
perspective of life on our small planet. And ever more
profoundly I recognize our essential Oneness.
Golden Earth Center’s Mission
and Purpose:
Drawing on this eclectic background, Golden Earth
Center’s Mission focuses on creating a spirit-inspired
community-oriented model that nurtures living in balance
with Mother Earth for the coming generations - including
the awakening of our human family. It’s Purpose is to
provide a wellness center, classes, retreats,
sustainable organic gardens, music studio, and ongoing
intergenerational family festivals, in a protected
nature sanctuary. While doing this, our intent is to
increasingly open into a learning environment where
stone, plant, animal, bird, human, & angel are
co-creator/teachers, drawing on the richness of what
each form has to offer to the whole. It is my hope that
this Mission/Purpose will continue to deepen with each
new generation, as the seeds of this were planted within
me while growing up on a small Gandhi-inspired organic
farm. My parents focused on a loving family
environment, including peaceful action in the wider
world community.
History and Description:
Within this seed-rich lineage, in 1994, Source inspired
me to come here to create this holistic
community-focused home/center. We are located in a
valley where Native Peoples held sacred rituals for
centuries. On an East slope of Mt. Ashland, it overlooks
a Tibetan Buddhist Temple, with snow-capped Mt. Shasta
beyond. The South Wing is dedicated to wellness
activities, including The Journey, massage and other
alternative offerings. The center is surrounded by oaks,
and the 22 acres of deciduous trees, evergreens, creek
and meadows offer places to walk, meditate and feel
nourished within the abundance of wildlife, prolific music of birds, water and windsong. |
