It stung when I was asked to resign from the board. After all, I had been the foundation’s founding president and worked hard for five years. Adding injury, my spiritual teacher affirmed the board's decision, "You are not board material, but I’d like you to stay on and help." Later, he told me, “You are a great mechanic.” This did not appease. It infuriated me.

It was a few years later that I received a clear spiritual message clarifying the type of mechanic being referenced in 2010.

I am a mechanic.

I like to fix things.

Now, I'm taking on the world.

Wanna help?

It may take a few lifetimes.


"Oh," I thought, "that kind of mechanic. I can get behind that!"

Since 2000, I have taught people how to connect their spirit with the spirit alive in nature and receive direct guidance. There was a similarity in countless reports of participants’ experiences: “I was in the tree and the tree was in me,” “The tree/plant/rock/stream/fire/etc. loved me and I loved the tree/plant/rock/stream/fire/etc.” "The tree/plant/rock and I are related." Many tears were shed from the profound love experience. There was some ecstatic experience. I began to define healing as freeing ourselves from the illusion of our separateness from love.

By way of affirmation, in 2015, Spirit showed me our spiralling universe along with the words “Love Is Round.” Instantly, I understood:

  • Love Is Round is the design of our universe and, therefore, also our design.

  • Love Is Round explains experiences of connection with Spirit that are mutually loving.

  • Love Is Round is an empowering context for our spiritual and healing journey. 

Love Is Round is not a common understanding. When we look at an image of our universe, such as the one at the top of this page, we see that universal energy is spiralling. Planets and stars formed in this spiral energy are, therefore, round or spherical. Everything is formed in this round, reciprocally loving field. When we think of 'round,' we understand a sense of inclusivity, equality, and belonging. All humans, animals, plants, rocks, mountains, and waters are a part of this profoundly loving design.

It is only our conditioning that has us experience separation. In that conditioning, we question our validity and our lovability. Programs of Love Is Round are geared to help you experience the round, reciprocal love and receive divine guidance to support you on your preordained path of purpose.

LOVE IS ROUND - THE MOVEMENT

It was a particular deity that gifted me this Love Is Round experience. This deity, a sacred mountain, invited me to become a pilgrim to receive its help with my work. Like us, mountains and all beings have a purpose. I learned this sacred mountain's purpose is "Protector of Creation."  This deity protects our love-is-round universal design!

While on pilgrimage there in 2019, I received this message several times: "Start a movement or continue a movement already started." A Protector of Creation is inviting we humans to get on board with this Love-Is-Round world that we all dwell in. Clearly, we need this as too much divisiveness is present in human interactions on our planet.

I call this movement "Love Is Round, Aligning With Our Universe’s Design."

This universal, round-love design is ever-present and available. We need only access it. Doing so helps us heal from the illusion that we are separate, alone, and unlovable. We gradually shift our worldview and, therefore, our world. We increase our light and our capacity to live in harmony with all our Earth relatives. We become more loving and joyous. We open ourselves to the guidance our world has for us to help us fulfill our divine purpose, which adds meaning to our lives. Nature wants to help, waits for us to ask, and cries out for our relationship!

Here is where you come in. Will you join me in amplifying this round-love creation we call home? Doing so helps you and all our relations. We do so on behalf of a more harmonious world. Please click here for available programs.

If you would like to participate in this epoch-making movement or to send any other message, please do so here.

 

What is it to be a pioneer?

My recollection of how the head of Shambhala Buddhism defined a pioneer in a 2009 event, was something like this: A pioneer is someone who sets off on a path with no role models, mentors or teachers to show the way, a path no one understands and few are in agreement with. Yet 30 years later, these pioneers have lead the way to a more effective world on behalf of the generations to come.

When I heard this definition, I felt seen. I knew no one I could turn to for help when I set out on my spiritual path. Now there are many following their spiritual paths and discovering their joy. I follow my spiritual calling to help you follow yours.

Highlights of Sherry’s Spiritual Path

  • A spiritual calling experience in 1982 awakened a need for spirit and set Sherry’s life on a new and surprising trajectory. Before this, Sherry worked in banking, accounting, and human resource management.

  • She pursued extensive personal growth work from 1982 to 1995, which tenderized some rough edges she hadn’t realized she had, opened her heart and culminated in healing an inherited familial dysfunction.

  • From 1988 through 1990, Sherry studied Macrobiotic healthcare and obtained three levels of certification. She then taught macrobiotic cooking classes and offered health consultations from 1990 to 1995. She discovered that she loves teaching!

  • Sherry trained in an ontological coaching program through The Newfield Network and was certified as a professional coach in 1993.

  • Following guidance to do so, Sherry travelled for two years from 1995 – 1997, seeking teachers. She began apprenticeships with four: two Huichol elder shamans, one Nahuatl elder shaman and an Ojibwa elder woman.

  • The elemental Fire (our heart energy), known respectfully in English as Grandfather Fire, began guiding Sherry in 1996. Fire assigned much homework, which was very educational and transformative over the following 26 years.

  • The Ojibwa elder woman became Sherry’s first teacher of an indigenous form of prayer—prayers of gratitude to nature. This led to a profound shift in her experience of prayer, connectedness, and relatedness to the spirit alive in all aspects of nature. This elder woman also led Sherry on a vision quest, after which Sherry received many messages: “Teach people about prayer.”

  • Grandfather Fire transmitted prayer teachings to her through an elder Huichol shaman in 1998. She studied other assigned teachings and worked with what she had been shown for two years before she began teaching in 2000. Since then, Sherry has helped hundreds of people in five countries connect their spirits with the spirits alive in nature and receive direct spiritual guidance.

  • Also, in 1998, Sherry was initiated as a Quiapaquiz (Weather Worker) by an old Nahua shaman in a remote village in Mexico. Through many years of ceremonial work connected with this tradition, Sherry learned much about prayer and our reciprocal relationship with the divine.

  • From 1999 to 2003, Sherry completed a five-year pilgrimage to a sacred mountain in Mexico with whom she had a relationship 500 years before. This sacred being provided the calling experience in 1982. The mountain reminded her of her commitment to helping people return to their sacred relationships when the time was right—which is now.

  • Grandfather Fire instructed Sherry to awaken a sacred mountain connected with the weather in Ontario, Canada. From 2001 through 2012, she led multi-day ceremonies there. In 2013, she was designated Matron of that tradition, and her work continued for another ten years in that capacity. Her work fostered healing from the trauma of colonizers' genocide of those ancestral peoples in the 1500s.

  • Sherry was the founding President of Sacred Fire Foundation, a 501(c)3 US charitable organization that supports ancestral sacred traditions worldwide. She sat on its board from 2005 to 2010.

  • Sherry authored the book, “Prayers of Gratitude, An Ancient Context for Prayer and Healing,” which was published in 2023. See Prayers of Gratitude.

  • Love Is Round, Aligning With Universal Design is the title of Sherry’s forthcoming book and the name of a global movement Sherry is being asked to lead.
