Pomo medicine man and Hanne

Going to see Loren, Pomo medicine man

 

 

We went to see Loren, a Pomo medicine man and one of Ross’ teachers. Loren lives near Stewart Point North of San Francisco in California. We drove across mountains and arrived at his small native village Kashaya. Loren did healing work on me first, then on Ross in the big wooden ceremonial roundhouse. Then we asked him to do a recommitment ceremony for us. It is now 2 years since our commitment ceremony at the Tsankawi site in New Mexico and we wanted to renew our bond. Loren did a prayer for us in the Pomo language while we stood with two branches connecting to the same bigger branch in our hands. After the simple and beautiful ceremony I did this recording with Loren about the story of the ceremonial roundhouse and his healing work as a medicine man.
