Journey For The One is the
spiritual adventure story of an American couple—Jeanne White
Eagle and John Pehrson, who make a life-altering vision
quest for peace across five continents, often to the most
conflicted places on the planet. Their personal search for
spiritual meaning and purpose begins with Native American
sage Joseph Rael and then expands to Sai Baba in India,
Rabbi David Baruch in Israel, and Zulu prophet Credo Mutwa
in South Africa. What evolves in their journey is Jeanne
White Eagle’s vision: the “For the One” Dance and the “For
the One” World Youth Dance. Both are ceremonial singing
dances that bring people together from all nationalities,
religions, and political views to create an experience of
interconnectedness. The miracle stories of these global
cross-culture interactions are both numerous and
significant. |

Here, too, is a vivid example of the Divine Feminine,
the Goddess Energy that is emerging in the worldwide
peace community. It is a dramatic story that women will
want to read and endorse, and that men will need to
recognize and support. |
 In 1996
Jeanne White Eagle Pehrson was given a vision in
which she was asked to go worldwide doing sacred sound
ceremonies that would move the world toward a lasting
peace. With husband John, the couple’s personal mission
evolved into the “For The One” Dance, where people come
together to practice an ancient vision quest ceremony by
dancing and singing spontaneous songs during a three-day
fast.
The
“For The One” Dance has now spread across five
continents by word of mouth, and Jeanne and John travel
continuously to lead life-changing dances in Israel,
Germany, South Africa, Brazil, and beyond. Today, there
are more requests for the Dance than they can personally
honor, so a large international team of volunteer
Drummers, Firekeepers, Moon Mothers, Sun Fathers, Dog
Soldiers, and even Kitchen Managers are training others
to expand the impact of the linked events. |
Monty met Jeanne and John in December 2000 at one of
their Peace Concerts; and after following the course of
their vision for several years, he urged them to
document their life and travel experiences in a book.
When their travel schedules seemed to make the book an
impossibility, Monty, seeing their need for recognition
and support, offered to write their biography. The
project began in March 2005, and Monty has served as a
Dog Soldier at two “For The One” Dances in the USA. His
research for the biography includes over a million words
of journals kept by John and Jeanne since 1993 and over
sixty extensive interviews conducted worldwide. Monty
says that this long two-subject biography is the hardest
work he has ever loved.
JOURNEY FOR THE ONE was published in September 2008 at
over 550 pages, which includes an 8-page photo insert. |
