Chalise Brooke Medicine Eagle and Sunny Baba

[NDN_Outlaw]

If there isn't already there should be some kind of online support group for victims of this specific form of abuse.

Brooke Medicine Eagle, discussed in older posts  http://www.medicineeagle.com/

Was reviewed and a warning issued on via the Sonoma County FreePress and

She has changed her name now to Chalise    http://www.medicineeagle.com/meet-brooke.html
She still charges the same... 

Quote:
""New Name!    As I move into a new phase of my life, I have been calling prayerfully for a change in energy. I was answered by grace in Paradise, Montana on autumn equinox with the in-pouring of an uplifted and powerful energy of happiness, peace, joy, excitement, creativity and fullness.  I was invited to begin using, everyday, my spiritual name Chalise - given me long ago by Dawn Star. It means “a chalice overflowing with love and light”, and as such is a vocation, gift of grace and a challenge to truly live. ‘Medicine Eagle’ represents the years of picking up the dawning light and flying it across the sky for the enlightenment of all. This new, more feminine name, represents a time of staying in one place and allowing abundance in all forms to flow through me.  It is pronounced “shah – LEASE” and I would appreciate being called Chalise to support this new energy that I am carrying  (although Brooke will remain my official name)."

ohhh.. the love and light of exploitation and greed?  Puke.

From Brooke's website..

        "Sunny Baba has left to find things and people to make his life work. By his own report, he wants “wilder, greener pastures with spontaneous creation and no responsibility; and younger, freer, less competent women”.
There’s no arguing with that, and I know he must seek his own happiness. And yet it left me incredibly overwhelmed and grieving in so many ways: I lost my beloved; my husband who helped make such a beautiful physical life around me; the land steward of this place; endless possibilities of the golden beauty we could continue to bring forward in union, and more  . . . a dream of partnership and closeness and creation..."

Uh no, it isn't. It's pronounced CHA-li- SE. Or with a second c it's pronouned CHAL-is. First one is a common Hindu surname. Second is just a plain old cup, usually filled with wine.

But there is a funny implication from that silly name, namely that she's full of it...

And what the heck is Dawn Star, besides a silly comic book character I remember from when I was a kid?

Found a video with Sunny Baba in it and Brooke, hanging up the laundry..
http://dancewithdestinydocumentary.com/component/content/article/35-wise-counsel/48-sunny-baba.html

""Sunny, a true man of nature, who walks his talk as an awakened human being living a life of beauty and simplicity. He has designed and built, spiritual communities in California, Arizona and Montana. Sunny Baba: I am a man of nature who has lived his entire adult life in the remote wilderness areas of the western USA and Central America. I have lived life as the ancient, and aboriginal peoples did, incorporating modern, alternative solar-powered technologies, together with the self-sufficiency movement. I have organized, started and built four self-sufficient communities, based on living a simple natural life style in harmony with the natural world, and enjoyment of the simple, natural pleasures of the tribal life. I am an artist in all parts of my life. I have build my own homes, make my own clothes, and love to grow and gather my own food. I paint, stained glass windows, tan and buckskin hides, using them to make traditional native leather clothing designs, complete with traditional beadwork done by natives american cultures. I create 13 kinds of moccasins; build temples; re-build vintage cars and create hand-crafted gypsy wagons. I love going barefoot as often as possible, and I live primarily out of doors.""

I grew up using a washer like that.  It is a ton of wasted water.  Maybe someone should tell him that
modern machines are much more efficient and much less wasteful. Seriously, even cars pollute less than
those old ones he refuses to let go of.

Brooke called me the next day and said they would love to have me come to earth heart and stay for as long as I wanted. I packed some things and went the next day. I think one of the first things that happened when I got there was we sat down and discussed rules and donations to them. They were interested in how much money I could give to them and Brooke said she would accept weekly payments or a one time lump sum of $10,000 to stay for the whole summer and learn from her and get healed from Sunny Baba. She said they would appreciate the payments in cash.

When you watch sunny ba ba's video of hanging out the laundry he says at the end of his video that he's lived on $500 a year by living his life style. I am amazed by the depths that these people will sink to in order to obtain fake status and steal money from innocent people looking for help or healing.

Although of mixed heritage, her tribal enrollment is through the Crow Indian tribe in Montana. She also has native blood from the Lakota, Nez Perce, and Cherokee peoples, as well as ancestors from Europe.

Tonasket? That's the same town used as a mailing address by the fake Anishaabe elders group affiliated with the Pembinas militia group. It'd be an incredible coincidence if she just happened to live there also. I looked up the town online, and it's only 900 people. Chances are they at least know each other or run into each other once in awhile.

She is on Facebook these days as Brooke Medicine Eagle.  According to her website, she lost her family, community, finances, home, and livelihood because of Sunny Baba.  She was thinking of suicide until "Great Spirit" - her words intervened.  She accuses Baba of abuse.

Anyway, she has several young people who support her.  In other words, these lost people who live outside their own culture and want to be Native desperately gravitate to her for learning "Native ways".  A form of being a high class bum feeding off needy people.

However, she doesn't discuss the other folks in the area.  Just all her friends that she can sponge off of in San Francisco. And she does a good job of that by staying in their homes in the winter.

She now ambiguous about being a Native.  Most of the places that host her discuss her being an Earth mage and ceremonialist.  I supposed it is assumed that she is Native.  She is featured as a "Woman of Wisdom" in a series of you-tube talks.

Tonasket is on or near the Colville Reservation. Also Tonasket is a well known Indian family name on the Colville Res. I wonder how she ended up there?

Her story of how she ended up in Tonasket:

      Now for the longer story, with some news many of you may already have heard: Due to the greed and meanness of our partner’s children, we were forced to leave our beautiful Earth Heart retreat home in Montana in May.

(stories about looking for land near Mt. Shasta, Williams Oregon, Oroville Washington etc.)
   
   

Coming off the mountain in a tired and sad place to visit our realtor Patti again, we were shown a place that didn’t meet our wilderness requirements yet she felt inspired to show us. And it has, surprising even us, become our home! It is a couple acre home and orchard in a little hamlet set in a tiny ranching / fruit-growing valley near Tonasket and the radiantly abundant Okanogan Valley. (The fruit many of you eat probably comes from this area.) Our FLOWERSONG home has grapes, apples, apricots, cherries, plums, nectarines, peaches, pears, hazel nuts and berries in overflowing abundance, plus plenty of space for big gardens. Neighbors offer us more walnuts and almonds than we can pick. The nearby lakes are renowned for many varieties of fish. A large herd of bighorn sheep are the “totem” of the town, and wander freely, their hooves clicking on the downtown streets. Deer often join them.
