Aigle Bleu

BIO
Aigle Bleu is a creator of therapeutic music and fragrances, and the author of a number of wisdom books and DVDs, all created with one aim in mind: to increase human awareness and well-being and harmony with nature.

Born in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, Aigle Bleu now lives not far from Quebec City.

In 1987, he founded Pédagogies Autochtones to pass on his teachings of the spiritual and therapeutic principles of the Aboriginal nations. Since then, he has taught in several cities in Quebec, as well as in France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Portugal and the United States.

Aigle Bleu is also committed to supporting indigenous populations and promoting their cultures.

In January 2001, he began a ministry as a spiritual counsellor to aboriginal inmates in a maximum security federal institution, working as an elder and spiritual therapist. His work has been crowned with success: today, former inmates considered irredeemable by the system have become active and productive members of society.

In 2002, he was elected representative for the Cercle des Aînés pour la Paix, a regional council that consults with Correctional Services Canada and represents Amerindian elders working in prisons.

Today, he continues his mission as a teacher, passing on a synthesis of the heritage he has received.

TRAINING
Aigle Bleu initially received his academic training in music at university, which he supplemented with readings and courses in music therapy, as well as various other alternative therapeutic techniques.

Since 1978, he has intensively studied and practised the healing arts and exercises taught by the spiritual elders, shamans and therapists of several Amerindian Nations in Canada and the United States.

In 1980, he joined the Sunray Meditation Society, a spiritual society teaching the healing arts and Amerindian spirituality in the Cherokee tradition, which he left in 2007.

Aigle Bleu has studied with Sun Bear, from the Chippewa nation, and with Oh Shinnah, from the Apache nation. He also received teachings from Tlakaellel of the Aztec nation, Slow Turtle and Manitonquat, Sachems of the Wampanoag nation, William Commanda of the Algonquin nation, N'tsukw of the Innu nation, and many other sages, healers and prophets.

In 1991, the Secretary General of the Government of the Indian Nation of North America presented him with his Indian cards and passport free of charge, underlining the Indian Government's recognition of his work.

In 1997, Dhyani Ywahoo, Chief of the Green Mountain Band of Eastern Cherokee (Uniyunwiwa), adopted Blue Eagle into his Nation's Bear Clan.

In 2000, he graduated as a "Spiritual Healer" from the North American Indian Nation Government Training Centre, in collaboration with his teacher in this discipline, Dhyani Ywahoo.

In 2003, Aigle Bleu was recognised as "Aljadohvsgi", which means "he who hears the voice of those who cry in the night" and corresponds to the ordination in the Amerindian priesthood of the Cherokee nation of the Anigadoah clan. The test consists in producing light with one's body in a dark place. Around 120 people, including some twenty Elders, witnessed this ceremony.
