As a road map for the human journey and a mirror of the universe, the Medicine Wheel holds the wisdom of both linear and non-linear time. Each time we sit in meditation with the Wheel we bring our awareness to the center of the circle — the still-point around which everything else revolves. The more we sit with the stones, place them, listen to them; the easier it becomes to move into an expanded state of awareness. It is said that our Guides and Allies are always willing to speak with us if we’d just slow down and listen. Using the Medicine Wheel as a meditative tool provides a way to slow down and listen.

Learning about the Medicine Wheel is a process of remembering. Allow your intuition to guide you as you journey around the wheel; for this is a pathway to trusting your own inner wisdom. Sharing the process creates ever-expanding circles of healing. The more circles we create, the easier it is for all of us to live in balance and harmony.


Coming into Alignment with the Lunar Cycle

When we consciously align ourselves with the lunar cycle, we actively participate in a powerful metaphor that helps us move into an awareness and appreciation of our interconnectedness with all parts of this amazing universe. This type of thinking is healing thinking, for the day-to-day realities that we create for ourselves depend upon our moment to moment thoughts, dreams and imaginings. When we begin to think in healing ways, our lives begin to heal and become more joyous.

Circlekeepers, A Lunar Cycle Journey, was created to teach the basic symbology of the Medicine Wheel in a focused, directed and experiential way. By setting an intention, creating a sacred space, doing personal daily rituals and meditations, and meeting weekly through one lunar cycle, you will take a guided journey around the wheel, experiencing the attributes of a Cardinal Direction (East, South, West and North) each week. This focused process integrates left and right brain activity and imprints the subconscious with the concepts of initiation, transition, transformation and synthesis as a guide for making positive, life-affirming change.

We will sit circle together for four weekly sessions. A fifth meeting will culminate our work together in a full moon Medicine Wheel ceremony signifying completion of the Lunar Cycle. Your journey to the Four Directions will allow your transition and healing to take place. By "telling your story", participating in "clearing" or letting go of what is no longer useful to you, you arrive at the place to call back that part of you that is your soul essence. This journey is sometimes called "soul searching" or "soul retrieval". Chanting, drumming, shamanic journeying, “Talk Story,” energetic healing and sacred counsel are some of the processes used on this healing journey.

Here are the Tools and Provisions you will need for your journey.
