DAY 1: MEDICINE WHEEL & EARTH ASTROLOGY
Presented by Wind Daughter
Saturday, July 5, 2008
9:30 am - 4:30 pm
Lyceum Building
Fee: $95.00
The Medicine Wheel is an ancient tool of mysterious origins, with the oldest dating back about 4,000 years. Stories and meanings vary from native tribe to tribe in North America. In this workshop, we will focus on Sun Bear’s vision of the Medicine Wheel. His Medicine Wheel has been created and utilized by thousands of participants worldwide for more than 25 years.
We will construct a wheel and dance the positions into place with chants and drums. You will learn the meaning of the positions within this sacred and magical circle of life. Each position is represented by an animal or insect totem that corresponds to attributes of our being. Each position also represents your astrological birthplace within the wheel. You will learn how to utilize this knowledge in your own life journey as you move through the circle of your own life.
There will be a Sweat Lodge on Saturday night open to all Saturday and Sunday workshop participants to pray within yet another sacred circle.
WIND DAUGHTER: Since beginning her journey with her gift of song many years ago, Wind Daughter has built a program of experiential workshops and retreats to teach others how to renew their relationship with Mother Earth, and to reach within themselves to sustain their spirits. As a trained cermonialist, Wind Daughter works with regional circles and groups, as well as national events, to assist others in the path of healing. Wind Daughter is the founder and director of West Winds, an experientially oriented spiritual organization in Arkansas, as well as the adopted daughter and long-time student of Grandfather BearHeart Marcellus Williams. In late 2006, after receiving guidance through prayer, reflection, and consultation, Wind Daughter decided to give name to her own vision, while continuing to carry The Bear Tribe’s teachings and the Bear Tribe Medicine Chief bundle into a new era, creating The Panther Lodge Medicine Society.
