Joshua Tree Stargazing Tours with Addicted2Wonder
Stargazing Tours of the dark skies above Joshua Tree and Star Pattern Treasure Hunting. Tonight you could be searching for a cosmic shark named Beizam, Grandmother Spider, a snake with a large butt, the council of elders, the boomerang, the question mark, the coat hanger, the hummingbird, the black tortoise, the butterfly, the Andromeda Galaxy and the thorny devil lizards eggs to name a few. All of these treasures and more with Ancient Native Wisdom Storytelling & Military Grade Night Vision Googles so you can see the sky the way it looked hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
Some people look at the stars and see only distant dots of light, suns scattered about the night sky. Others see patterns of warriors, animals and sea creatures that they see and tell stories that impact their everyday lives, like the 7 teachings of grandfather and the 7 knowing’s of the Grandmothers. The Lakota look at certain star patterns and say “There is the heart of everything That is, and now I am home” The stars were called “the holy breath of the great mystery,” the woniya of Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka
Become a “Wonder Junkie” Tonight: Learn the stars and philosophies of our elders by taking a fun and wildly different look at the night sky, one filled with laughter, suspense, wonderment, spiritual connection, story telling and the occasional “WTF is that?” moments!
Since human kind has walked the earth, we have looked to the stars and asked, who am I, why am I, where am I? Tonight, Connect and Experience the Stars the way our Indigenous elders “people of knowledge and wisdom” called Shamans/Naugles and Native Ancestors did…But with Modern Day Technology. Our GEN3 Military Night Vision Binoculars light up the sky like it was 1000 years ago. The Mi’kmaq people of the Northeastern Woodlands call it “etuaptmumk” or two eyed seeing. Embracing both the spiritual connection to the stars as well as the scientific way we look at the Universe today. We can all highly benefit from this “two eyed seeing”. Both worlds can be explored and have so much to tell us!

Magical. Do not miss the opportunity to do this.
Tripadvisor review: Rosemary S
Easily one of the best things we’ve ever done as a family. Tony felt like an old friend. His knowledge of the stars and the night sky was incredible and his abilities as a storyteller were magical. He lifted the stars off the page and brought them to life in the most wonderful way. We came to Joshua Tree to experience dark skies, and we will leave feeling connected to the universe in a way we never have before.
Thanks once again to Tony - a genuinely once in a lifetime experience.
We are not going to be all scientific and stare into a telescope hearing a bunch of facts, figures, math and scientific speak that is truly amazing info and a woderful experience BUT it is not all there is to learn from the sky. Remember "two eyed seeing" tonight is about the old ways and night vision to personally enhance your "Yūgen" a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe

What are those "Lights in the Sky" Your Stargazing Tour here in tonight is about just that!
“The lights in the sky are stars,” stars are suns... but wait... let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Since the beginning of humanity we have been looking up at the sky and making up stories about what those lights are. The lights in the sky are whatever we humans say they are! And some of those stories are not only fascinating they are very, very important to humanity.
As we lose our ability to see the "lights in the sky" we lose so much of our connection to nature and by hearing those stories we reconnect to the magic that has been all but lost. Even before the lights are completely extinguished by technology let us remember the lights in the sky, are not an accident and they have many stories to tell.
Since the beginning of time people have come up with a wide variety of explanations, images and stories to make sense of the lights in the sky and every single one of them is completely made up by the people that looked at them first and said "I'm in charge" but some of those stories taught us math, navigation, time, spirituality, weather, seasons and on and on.... The stars have taught us so much but they are not done!
We look to the stars above to understand our place in the world, trying to understand the stars in the sky above is the foundation of the most incredible stories told around the campfire you have never heard. Nearly every culture on earth has different stories for the stars above and what they mean to the tribe.
In today’s fast paced world, staring into the night sky is the perfect form of escapism to find peace, solace and connenction to the divine in the chaos of life on earth. Stargazing is one of the simplest things we can do to connect with nature and our own spirituality. In fact we challenge you to spend 30 minutes under the stars each night for the next 30 nights and find out for yourself how much your life will change as a result.
Your Stargazing in Joshua Tree tour tonight is about those lights in the sky. The focus is on ancient Native Americans and various Indigenous peoples from all over planet earth (Aboriginal, Inuit, Maori Warriors of New Zealand, the Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures, Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese and countless others) and the ways they identified and used the lights in the sky or as the Aboriginals saw "the darkness in the sky". It is not about looking through a telescope at a dot of light in the sky (although that is pretty cool too), but to connect the way our ancestors did for thousands of years with the naked eye and some really cool military toys as well!!
The Mi'kmaq people in the northeast call it "ETUAPTMUMK" or two eyed seeing. Which means: Connecting, experiencing and learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western knowledge and ways of knowing ... and learning to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all.
"The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.”
- Richard Feynman
Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian woman in space, said, “When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from one particular piece of land, but from the solar system.”

“The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
― Dalai Lama

Here is a brief list of things your naked eye is aware of when you look at the sky with your open mind.
1. The sky above us moves across the night sky from east to west. Why? What is the mystery of east and west? The north and south have nothing comparable. Stars are born in the east and die in the west. Is there more than a metaphoric connection to biological birth and death?
2. The mystery of the north is that there is one star that does not seem to move. Moreover, there are stars close to it that can be seen even in a single night to revolve around it. Why? What is so special about that star?
3. When the sun rises, all the stars vanish, with a few exceptions. What happens to them?
4. The stars do not seem to move in relation to each other. They make distinct patterns that do not change from night to night. Why is that?
5. Several mysteries are connected with the moon. Its schedule of appearance in the night sky does not seem regular, and it does not move at the same pace as the stars. Even so, like them, it rises in the east and goes across the sky to the west. Further, the moon changes shape through time. It can also sometimes be seen in the daytime, when the stars have been obliterated by the sun’s light.
6. The sun and the moon each move across the face of the celestial sphere on their own unique schedules and those schedules do not appear to be related to each other. The same is true for ¤ve stars, each of which operates on its own timetable. These scofaw wanderers were called just that by the Greeks—planetoi. All seven of these mavericks, though, move from east to west, just like the stars themselves. Why are these seven on different schedules? Are the small lights more than stars?
7. The sun rises and sets in a different location on the horizon every day. Why?
8. All seven of the wandering lights stay in a particular stretch of the celestial sphere, as if they are forbidden to go too far north or south. Is that a path they must move along?
9. There are 12 distinctive clusters of stars on that path followed by the wanderers, and the location of each wanderer can be described by its proximity to one of the clusters on any night. Do those cluster patterns have special meanings?
10. The stars are not all the same color. Why is that?
11. In addition to the cluster patterns, there is one huge streak of light, composed of countless stars squeezed together. What is that streak?
12. There is also one star cluster that is too tightly bunched together to be called a pattern. It is like a little ball of stars, and it is unique. What is it?
13. Sometimes the sun and moon turn dark red or even black out. Fortunately, they always recover from whatever that condition is, and the world is no worse for the event. What causes that?
14. Stars sometimes fall from the sky. They can be seen making bright streaks through the air, and sometimes they can be seen or heard to fall nearby. What are they?
15. Infrequently, a star with a tail will appear in the sky and over days or weeks will be seen at night, finally vanishing, never to be seen again by the observers.
What are these all about?
