EarthStar Spiritual Center is a sacred space of healing, awakening & compassionate service. Rooted in interfaith wisdom & guided by a deep love for spiritual growth, our journey has unfolded through teaching, ministry, meditation, shamanic practice & community connection. What began as a small offering of Tai Chi has grown into a living path, devoted to wholeness of mind, body & spirit.
EarthStar Tai Chi first took root in 1995 when Dale began sharing the gentle wisdom of Tai Chi in local businesses & colleges. By 1999, Jeanne had stepped out of retirement from Guilford County Schools where she had served as a middle school French teacher, & Dale had left his work as a Detective with the Greensboro Police Department to follow the deeper calling of teaching full time. Together they opened a metaphysical retail store & Tai Chi studio in Greensboro, NC—a sacred beginning that would grow into EarthStar.
Three years later in 2002, EarthStar Spiritual Center was born as an Interfaith Church & non-profit spiritual organization; & Dale & Jeanne were ordained as Interfaith Ministers. Weekly meditation services became a gathering place for seekers where many paths of wisdom were honored through the presence of eight sacred altars: Mother Earth, Energy Healing, Taoism, Goddess/Divine Feminine, Native American, Christianity, Buddhism & Celtic traditions.
Tai Chi, Women’s Self-Defense, Goddess Fairs & Teas, Energy Healing, Drumming Circles & other holistic gatherings & workshops created a rich tapestry of spiritual education, offering the fellowship many ways to learn, heal & grow.
The healing ministries blossomed through classes that welcomed the graduation of 20 Reiki Masters & 12 Huna Masters. From this sacred work, the Triad Reiki Association evolved into Holistic Practitioners of NC, a statewide alliance that offered a free web listing for holistic practitioners & helped weave a wider circle of healing across the region.
The Minister Ordination ministry also flourished, ordaining 19 Interfaith Ministers who now serve in their own callings of counseling, healing & wedding ceremonies—carrying EarthStar’s light forward in their own unique way.
In 2005, Dale & Jeanne moved the administrative heart of EarthStar Spiritual Center into their home in Greensboro, NC. From there they continued to travel throughout the local area, sharing workshops in metaphysical & spiritual philosophy while Dale continued teaching Tai Chi throughout the Piedmont Triad. Though the setting changed, the mission remained the same--to serve, to teach & to awaken.
From 2006 through 2014, EarthStar was an approved provider with NCBTMB for Continuing Education for massage therapists. More than 30 courses were offered for CE credit through Dale, Jeanne & other EarthStar Certified & NCBTMB Approved Instructors, resulting in over 2,700 hours of continuing education—a testament to EarthStar’s enduring dedication to wisdom, service & professional growth.
In the years that followed, Dale & Jeanne continued their work from home through EarthStar, expanding its mission locally, nationally & worldwide. The Shamanic Mystery School began in August 2008 & continued to unfold into more expansive Mystery Schools. Private & group lessons in Business, Energy Healing, Meditation, Personal Development, Shamanism, & Tai Chi/Qi Gong have remained a living part of the journey. During this season, Dale also completed his first novel, Diamond in the Rough-Reiki Under Fire, in 2012/2013.

Today EarthStar continues to shine from the heart of our home. Over the years, we have written 7 books, including 5 devoted to Shamanism, spanning from Earth Shamanism to Cosmic Shamanism. Book studies, guided meditations & spiritual gatherings continue to nourish our community. We have ordained 114 Interfaith Ministers for service throughout the USA. Our path has also expanded through a multimedia approach with weekly YouTube videos, ongoing classes & new writing projects.
In the spring of 2026, we began the EarthStar Music Ministry, creating multi-genre songs as another way to share inspiration & healing. We have also submitted a plan for a Humanitarian Project/Med Bed Center in the Guilford County area. Through it all, we remain devoted to the work we love, grateful for our growing spiritual family & deeply connected with our Shaman Ohana. As we move through these changing times, we continue to hold a vision of collective awakening, ascension & Aloha/Love.
We have created a wonderful life, filled with adventure, excitement & love ... We are still in love in 2026 ... We love what we do & do what we love ... Until we meet again ...
Much Aloha, & Meet You in the Heart,
Dale & Jeanne
