Autumn, the season of going
deep within is here. Conspire
with us now, taking a fresh
breath in and breathing out
gratitude for leaves turning
golden-red on beautiful
Mother Earth.
At People of the Heart we
are deepening in beauty also
through coming together for
gatherings that manifest joy
and meaning. Along those
lines, Jon’s 50th Celebration
was a blast! Boka Marimba

ages danced wildly and

Tan Pinney Provides Care In Bolivia
By Scott Hewitt, Columbian Staff
Writer. Sept 16, 2008
There are some winding roads and
hairpin turns in the hills east of
Hockinson. But that’s nothing compared to El Camino de la Muerte —
“The Road of Death.”
Tan Pinney, who lives in those
Hockinson hills and works as an
emergency physician with Kaiser
Permanente in Portland, found himself bumping down that famously
lethal mountainside lane in Bolivia
and reminding himself that he’d
come to this country to save lives —
not so much to risk his own.
The road is about 10 feet wide, a
sheer wall on one side and a sheer
cliff on the other. “At least 40 people die every year falling off it,”
Pinney said. (Actually, according to
one BBC news report, the number is
between 200 and 300.)
The harrowing bus trip was just the
beginning of his journey into the
heart of Bolivia — and poverty the
likes of which he’d never seen.
He went with a medical team sponsored by Project Helping Hands
(www.project-helping-hands.com)
— 35 Americans who joined with
an equal number of Bolivian interpreters and assistants. They arrived
in Bolivia on Aug. 23.
Their first stop was the village of
Guanay — population no more than
1,200, Pinney said.
“We arrived in town and what we
did was set up medical clinics. We
had lots of donated medical supplies
— antibiotics, fungal creams, IV
bags, glasses — and we would sign
people in and see them. If we found
somebody who was extremely ill,
needing more care than we could
provide in that setting, we had a
contingency fund to send people La
Paz” — the biggest city in Bolivia
and the site of the most sophisticated hospital care.
What kinds of problems and illnesses were most frequent?
“Lots of musculoskeletal injuries,”
Pinney said. “Lots of intestinal
worms that kids had. It’s all over the
country. They don’t have good sanitation and kids are running around
in dust and bare feet all the time. It’s
difficult to control when you don’t
have good infrastructure.”
From there, he said, the group split
into three teams that took primitive
wooden boats down the Midiri
River, a tributary of the Amazon.
Each team stopped at a different
village each day, treating hundreds
of people, sleeping on church or
school floors and packing up to float
on to the next village in the morning.
On Aug. 28, he said, his 35-foot
boat hit some rapids and capsized.
“All the gear floated away. Fortunately we were only waist high in
the water. We had to bail it out, and
as we were doing that, the motor
caught on fire.”
Pinney remembers thinking: “We’re
waist deep in the middle of a Bolivian river, miles from nowhere. I
signed up for an adventure, but I’m
not sure I signed up for this.”
Amazingly enough, the medical
gear was rescued downriver by another medical boat, and somebody
had the mechanical know-how
needed to rebuild the engine. It
worked.
“We spent one night on the beach at
the entrance to Midini National
Park,” he said. “In the morning,
there was a thunderstorm so we
packed up and got back on board.”

Bolivia. (Photo courtesy of Tan Pinney)
From there it was a large town —
population 15,000 — called Rurrenebaque.
“We saw 1,200 patients in one day,”
Pinney said. “They flocked to us.”
He said he saw hospitals where the
price list is posted: $1.25 for each
suture, $5 for a medical test.
“To see the poverty that these people
live with every day was an incredible
experience. What we have here, even
indigent care, is significantly better.”
Pinney, 59, said he’s been fortunate
to have a successful career in emergency medicine and was glad to do
something for others. He paid his
own way to Bolivia but wanted to
thank ambulance provider American
Medical Response and a Battle
Ground nonprofit spiritual group
called People of the Heart for their
donations of supplies and cash.
“What little we could do, it was a
drop in the bucket — but it was a
great way to touch people. It was a
great adventure.”

Ayni: Sharing in the Labor for POTH and its Community
"In South America, ayni is the single
most important concept of the Andean
way. It is translated as reciprocity and
means the interchange of lovingkindness,
knowledge, and the fruits of one's labor
between individuals, between humans
and the environment, and between humans and nature spirits. Reciprocity
implies that one's labor is shared. I will
help you today, and tomorrow you might
help me. The purpose of reciprocity is
the maintenance of life." -The Andean
Codex
When we attend an event, a meditation, a
celebration, or a workshop at POTH we
feel a reciprocity (ayni) with each other,
the land and with spirit. Now we invite
you to share in the reciprocity of labor
among us all. Maintaining a home and
garden can be overwhelming to keep up
with physically as well as financially. In
the spirit of the Andean Spiritual tradition, we would like to propose a communal system of "sharing in the labor for
all." In other words, when we spend a
few hours at POTH (tending the land,
the Laurel Lodge, and/or the sweat
lodge) to maintain that sacred land, we
know that we can ask and receive sup-
port in-kind from the community. Like a
barter system, members of the community would donate time in their area of
expertise or comfort-from weeding or
painting to woodworking or plumbing.
In this way, we share our gifts with each
other and save time and money! All in
the spirit of love and kindness and a desire to build a stronger community.
From Amy Livingstone, POTH community member
I was inspired to suggest this system in
our last board meeting for two reasons.
The first comes out of my pilgrimage to
Peru in 2006 where I spent time studying
the Andean spiritual tradition with an
indigenous community and their Q'ero
shaman. Ayni is central to their way of
life and these teachings continue to inform my life and work. The second reason comes from my experience with a
small group of women friends (4 of us)
who that gather each month to do home
and garden projects. We rotate homes
each month and meet on a Monday
morning from 9am-12pm, rain or shine.
In the warmer months we do gardening
projects--anything from clearing land,
trimming, weeding, planting, or cleaning

artist and POTH
Board Member
gutters to much larger projects like redoing a walkway. Last month, we
cleared a path, mixed the cement and
laid in flagstone with river rock! It is so
beautiful. In the winter, projects come
indoors and we paint, tile, or clean. It is
amazing what the four of us can accomplish in three hours all the while sharing
what is happening in our lives and having fun, too. Not only have we strengthened our bond of community but we
save time and money on these projects
while freeing up time for our other passions in life. It enriches my life so profoundly and feel that all of us in the
POTH community could benefit from
this type of support.

share in this community support, please

or 360.666.4942.

Dearest Friends and Family,
The African Water Festival was an
awesome success! The outpouring
of support, generosity and joy was
truly beautiful to behold. I am such
a lucky man to be part of this
incredible loving community. My
heart is full with memories of the
dancing, laughter, music and love.
Particularly moving for me was
when the community walked with
me to deliver the last gallon of water. I was overcome with emotion;
the sense of connection and support
was a wave that passed through my
core. To turn 50 in such a manner
was one of the greatest events of my
life. Thank all of you; I am such a
rich man to have you in my life.
While there are simply too many
people to thank you in this letter
individually, please know that your
standing in support for this project
F e s t i va l
means the world to me. Your action
gives me greater hope for the world.
Due to all of the supporters and donors for the water carry, the donors
for the auction, the participants in
the raffle and the auction we raised
over $3,000!!! You Rock!
I am currently creating the Ugandan
Flute Company. This company will
create Native American Style flutes
made out of bamboo. 100% of the
proceeds from this company will go
directly to Engeye. I am looking for
someone that is interested in making
the flutes. I will sell them and donate time to teach people to use
them.
Jon Gieber is thankful for the
many friends that supported his
endeavor to aide Engeye children during his 50th birthday
celebration.
Love, Jon
There is calmness to life lived in
gratitude and quiet joy.

POTH Movie Reviews By E’lan Geiger Buendia
"What Dreams May Come" - Worth a second take (on DVD)
I watched this film, in my early-20’s, in the theater. I found the story-line interesting with beautiful scenery, though it was just another movie to me. I’m now in my mid-30's with a 'few' more life experiences under my
belt and am a Consciousness Explorer with an interest in the Spirit Realm. So, when I recently learned that a cofounder of the Spiritual Cinema Circle was a producer of "What Dreams May Come", I thought there was probably
something more to the film.
My husband, Danilo, and I bought the DVD and are happy we did! The film is deeply interesting, at times
very sad, and amazingly beautiful. We enjoyed the concepts and quotes. With Danilo as a Special Effects artist we
are always interested in watching the ‘behind the scenes’ - we learned that the imagery in the film was completed by
a means not formerly attempted and really not attempted since (even maybe impossible to replicate), could it be then
that this film was meant to be? Was it meant to be made to get out into the Hollywood masses and into people's
Consciousness...
"Ghost Town" - A fun Hollywood film of the Afterlife (in theaters 9/08)
We recently watched this movie at the theater. I was pleased that there was a good attendance, as it allowed
a mass audience a look at the spirit realm. The film delves into how the Afterlife affects the living and how the living affect each other and why spirits ‘hang around’.
Though it is a very light-hearted film and does not purposefully step into Consciousness. However, what I
noticed was how ‘believing’ created a new, wonderful life and viewpoint for the characters. It’s a sweet film that,
dare I say, misted up my husband’s eyes.
"Henry Poole is Here" – A look at how miracles present themselves (on DVD 11/08)
I’d been curious about this film because of the actors and story-line. Then I read an article by the director,
he’d suddenly lost his wife and was raising his 2yr old daughter, he eventually remembered reading this script and
felt it was just the film he needed to make.
The film looks at a young man’s reaction to news of his terminal illness, coupled with a miracle ‘image’ of
Jesus on the sidewall of his house by his snoopy neighbor. Does he believe in this miracle? Does he eventually feel
the image will save him? How does it impact him and the neighbors he begins to interact with?
The film is not a strict religious film, but more of an opportunity to see that miracles can happen in diverse
ways for different people and for vast reasons.
On a side note, the day we went to see this movie, we crossed paths with Deepak Chopra while shopping at
Whole Foods. That encounter made us eager that this movie was going to make us ‘think’ and ‘feel’, we were not
disappointed…
Jayna’s Labor of Love
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for December 14th to join Jayna in
celebration of the upcoming release of her first book, Snatched From the
Fire. The following is an overview from the back cover of her latest labor
of love.
E’lan Geiger Buendia and Danilo Buendia
Jayna Gieber, Warm Nest Woman, weaves a stirring account
of triumph over suffering to achieve healing of body, mind, and spirit. In a
lifetime, one might brush with death once, but Jayna makes her way not
only through drug-addiction and alcoholism but also breast cancer. She
realizes that to truly free herself from the past she must also heal the pain
of her religiously oppressive upbringing and shunning by the Jehovah’s
Witness religion. Jayna takes on us on a journey of the heart, revealing her
deep love for her daughters, her husband, her ancestors, and Great Spirit.
This passionate book offers hope to the hopeless, courage to the frightened, strength to the disempowered, and freedom to the spiritual seeker!
