Living
the "Way of Inspiration"
Over
a decade ago, John and Jeanne Pehrson left executive corporate
positions, stepping out in faith, to help raise the level of collective
awareness around the world to the possibility of a loving and lasting
peace. They were asked to let go of everything and trust. It was a
literal leap of faith. Exploring and mapping the path of spontaneous
living, their journey in faith has taken them around the world, reaping
miracles that often defy reason and imagination.
In the process, they
have developed the skills required to “live in the moment” – something
that is increasingly important in today’s atmosphere of polarization and
uncertainty. These skills include receiving and acting on inner
guidance, taking risks and being willing to “fall,” developing absolute
trust in the face of obstacles, applying love to move through fear, and
the power of giving and gratitude to shift outcomes.
In September 1995,
the inspiration for their current mission came to Jeanne in a powerful
vision while doing conflict resolution work in Russia. Shortly after,
Jeanne met Beautiful Painted Arrow, a Native American visionary and
mystic, who blessed her with the name of “Jeanne White Eagle.” It was in
1998 that Jeanne and John stepped out in faith and committed everything
they had to “listen, show up, and say YES to their inner guidance. In
developing the trust to let go of everything, they allowed themselves to
fall – and discovered that Spirit was carrying them. There was nowhere
to fall. Since then, they have been guided by visions and carried around
the world in a magical way, full of miracles.
Their mission has
been to build bridges between people of different cultures, religions
and worldviews and the possibility of a loving and lasting peace – one
person at a time. Everywhere they have gone, they have shared with
others the “way of inspiration” and open-heartedness through the power
of sacred sound and dance, dialogue and intuition.
In 1996, Jeanne White
Eagle had a vision for a singing dance called the “For the One” Dance.
This dance offers an experience that takes people out of their comfort
zones and creates the potential for life changes and personal
transformation. It is also an experience that has proven to be
therapeutic. Many people experience mental, emotional, spiritual and/or
physical healing. People feel stronger afterwards. Many experience the
kind of unconditional love that creates a feeling of community that
rises above differences in religious or political worldviews. And in
that way, it helps to create peace – one person at a time.
The first one of
these dances took place in 1993 in North Carolina. Since then, the “For
the One” Dance has grown so rapidly that it has become the major focus
for Jeanne and John. Dances now take place in North Carolina, Tennessee,
Egypt (in the Sinai), Israel, Germany, Norway, Ireland, South Africa and
Brazil. New “For the One” Dances for Hawaii, Iceland, Italy, Haiti,
Croatia, Bosnia, Australia, New Zealand, Poland and Russia are in the
making.
Along the way, Jeanne
and John also still give Peace Concerts, conflict-resolution and
community building events, and teach the power of intuition. The early
years meant working with many of the Peace-Sound Chambers around the
world, following a vision given to Beautiful Painted Arrow. This work
continues as the Chamber communities grow.
John also does
counseling for individuals and businesses based on a new system of
Mystical Numerology that he created over a period of more than fifteen
years.
To support this work,
a nonprofit organization is being created. If you would like to become
part of this effort to bring peace to the planet – through donations,
being part of our international crew, or a participant in one of our
activities – we hope that you will contact us.
