Journey for the One

Journey for the One is a remarkable tale about Jeanne White Eagle and John Pherson. Their story is a testament to intention, faith, and the willingess to live vision. Even though this book is about Jeanne and John, it is also a testamony to all those who have given thier lives to fulfillment of sacred covenant. I encourage everyone to give themselves the gift of reading this book.Journey for the One

Good job, Monty! What I like about this book is that it realistically portrays the joys, struggles, rewards, and challenges of two visionary people: Jeanne White Eagle and John Pehrson. Well written and full of details, this glimpse into their visionary life, portrays it the way it is: neither a "primrose path" nor a trap! Maybe it will encourage others to enter into their own personal reflection about their part in the new world, which, I believe, the world's people are creating. I am personally honored to know Jeanne and John and to have been involved with them in their unfolding journey. I am touched by our friendship. Even more, I am in awe of their willingness and commitment to follow their spiritual call and move forth into "uncharted territory" in faith. And I really like the places we have traveled together! To the fearful, this book is dangerous! But I believe a lot of quiet, searching people may find in this story something they remember about life, about themselves, and how they can be.

Journey For the One is an inspirational, adventurous and openly candid account of the travels and teachings of Jeanne White Eagle and John Pehrson. Their courage to follow their most inner stirrings of their hearts and to actually go out into the world, many times against enormous odds, to actualize their visions, is an inspiration. This book serves to awaken deep memory in all of us: memory of our dreams, of our potential and the connection between all humans and all life. Theirs is tale of dreams being manifest, not by chance, but by pure intention and action. They remind us that we are all masters and that it is more than okay to follow one's heart - it is necessary both to serve the individual and the whole. This is an account of two peoples' deep connection to tradition while at the same time daring to move with change and create new, dynamic, changable forms to serve humanity and Mother Earth on the deepest levels. This book has further reinforced my desire to move forward, despite fear and setbacks, and to do so one step at a time, remembering Jeanne and John's teachings with love. I highly recommend this book to anyone beginning a spiritual journey or anyone already on one.

When I first met Jeanne WhiteEagle and John Pehrson in 1996, I knew they were special people. Jeanne always seemed to be blazing a spiritual trail where I wanted to follow. And I have been able both to follow and participate in the spiritual journey that has been unfolding for them since that time. Which is why it is such a delight to be able to review the book about their vision written by Monty Joynes. JOURNEY FOR THE ONE is the biography of two people who came together to bring a vision of hope to the people of the world. The hope for true and lasting peace both personal and planetary. How did two ordinary, yet extraordinary, people so totally change their lives in a few short years? Not to mention enroll people around the world in their spiritual vision? Monty's book catalogs their upbringing, Jeanne's in relative comfort, and John's colored by the hospitalization of his mother and subsequent loss of his primary relationships. When they met Joseph Rael, in 1996, they had not been together as a couple long, although had been friends and business associates much longer. John was very much still in the corporate world, and although they had been doing community building work together, their spiritual leanings were not yet apparent. Though the catalyst of Joseph Rael, an Indian of Pueblo and Ute heritage, they were introduced to new visionary experiences that catapulted them out of their old life within two years. At first as godparents of sacred chambers around the world, Jeanne used her operatic voice to awaken the energies inherent in these kiva-like buildings. Later following visions that flowed from their experiences they began to teach and lead the people using all their personal gifts as well as the transformative experiences gained through visionary dance ceremonies, vision quests, and sweat lodges. If you want to know how mystics are made in the modern world, this book is for you. If you want to know the deep personal sacrifices required to expand your life, this book explains in depth. Read and be amazed.

Monty Joynes, a prolific writer and the author of this fascinating biography Journey for the One, has captured superbly the inner essence behind the vision of these two extraordinary people, Jeanne WhiteEagle and John Pehrson. Having been drawn to the Native American philosophy and further mentored by visionary Beautiful Painted Arrow Joseph Rael, Jeanne and John found themselves leaving mainstream corporate America to embark upon an incredible spiritual adventure. Using the ceremonial energies of sacred sound and dance, this dedicated couple has taken their vision of peace message to five continents. As a reader, not only did I find their biographical story compelling, I found myself as the observer becoming connected to the observed and resonating with the experience of the sacred ceremony. Although a lengthy read (531 pages), I heartily recommend it as a very rewarding endeavor. The underlying message is deeply profound.
