Hummingbird Chronicles Podcast Episode 3: Marriage 101

George and Georgia Bertelstein talk about the elements of their marriage.

George: “Sacred Marriage is a two-headed eagle, but we only have the one pair of wings. We maneuver together though we might have completely independent thoughts, we don’t need to agree all we need is to agree that we are both moving towards peace, love and vulnerability because we’ve chosen than and that’s what’s fun.”

Georgia: “You don’t have to agree. The eagle with 2 heads has 2 different perspectives. You have 2 points of view, but we are going in the same direction together, we can respect each others vantage points without needing to be focused on the same details. We can drive our wings together with respect to our prayer together. We have a responsibility to ourselves and to our project together. It’s not 50/50, it’s 100/100.”

Hummingbird Chronicles Episode #1

There is a prophecy, known by many, seen and felt by many, that when the Medicine of the North (The Eagle) meets the Medicine of the South (The Condor) it will produce the New Medicine, the Medicine of the Hummingbird.

This is the Medicine of unlimited happiness, health and healing.

The Hummingbird Chronicles is a witnessing of this profound healing which is taking place everywhere, in every time, for everyone.
