Hello... I'm Gary Whitewolf Woodings and I would like to share some of my story with you...

I was born May, 29 1960 in Anaheim California. As a child we moved so often I have no place I ever really considered home. With each move I had to start over with new schools, friends, interests and struggled to fit in. This pattern of moving seems to have carried into my adult life, giving me exposure to a great number of teachings.

I grew up with the hidden Native American heritage that has occurred within the United States. At age twenty eight I had a dream that spurred my Spiritual Awakening. After seeking spiritual connection through several churches, I finally found my way to the teachings of the Lakota nation and the Inipi (Sweat Lodge), where I felt comfortable. This was the foundation of my spiritual birth and the roots of my connection to Creator/God, Mother Earth and All that is. Along with this I found the dance within the Native American Pow-wow community as well as my deep connection to drumming and singing ceremonial and pow-wow songs.

Interestingly enough, this spiritual re-birth heralded the death of a seventeen year marriage and a career in law enforcement, as my spiritual practices no longer fit with the lifestyle I had left behind. I had to leave a toxic situation and in doing so, I had to leave what was dearest to my heart, my two beautiful daughters, which my entire world revolved around. Today they are my inspiration and have graced me with three wonderful grandchildren, with another on the way from my younger daughter.

In 1996 I relocated to New Hampshire, where I continued my spiritual quest as well as for healing my losses. I was introduced to Reiki and was soon attuned to Level two. I took up Tai Chi, Qigong, meditation and came into a fantastic relationship of love with the crystal and mineral kingdom. Having learned to douse using a pendulum and dousing rods at age ten, I joined dousing with my growing understanding of the healing properties of the Stone Nation and have intuitively developed my skills for balancing our Chakras, healing the auric field and determining if there are any negative energies that need to be removed from our energy field. I also facilitated ceremonial drum circles and created conscious communities in two locations in New Hampshire for ten years. Due to my love of drumming I met and was trained in the field of Drum Therapy, using the “Helmtone Drum Protocol”, developed by master drummer Buddy Helm.

While in New England, my career shifted to several types of construction which ended in 2001, when I fell forty feet from the top of a steel structure on Long Island NY. Every doctor I met said I should be dead or at the very least quadriplegic form the injuries I sustained. After two years of recovery work I returned to dance and live a mostly normal life. However I was unable to physically return to construction, so the question arose again… Now What? This was when I received my calling to be of service to people in the healing arts as a profession, rather than as a leader in my Spiritual Community.

After researching my options I chose Transpersonal Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Past Life Regression Therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique. I studied with world renowned teachers in these fields like Jack Elias and Henry Bolduc. In 2008 I moved to Florida, where I was introduced to Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga. Having been so deeply changed by Ipsalu Tantra I chose to take Teacher Training in 2010 and have since taught Ipsalu during my time in California.

After years of wandering, including a journey back to California for the past two years, I have come to understand where Home is. I recently found my way back to that place of Heart-felt Community. Florida... I am home... Here to be of service to my community. I look forward to sharing my gifts with you.

Namaste,
