SUMMARY:Seven Sacred Talking Circles: Indigenous Wisdom from Within
DESCRIPTION:In honor of one of the primary principles of a Talking Circle\, to be able to look into each persons’ eyes\, we are holding space for 20 people at the most. You are welcome to sign up for as many\, or as few\, as you are called to and your schedule allows. It’s okay to over or under register and come back to the form and add or subtract a registration. If a Circle is filled you will be put on a wait list and be notified of that status\, and you will be notified when a space opens. You should also expect an email a week or so ahead of time to confirm your registration. This will help ensure people on the wait list can get a spot that may have become available.\n\nRegister here: https://forms.gle/WK2jpJjKGkWNVAKf9\n\nSun\, Jan 28 – Truth\nSun\, Feb 11 – Humility\nSun\, Feb 25 – Respect\nSun\, Mar 10 – Love\nSun\, Mar 24 – Courage\nSun\, Apr 7 – Honesty\nSun\, Apr 21 – Wisdom\n\nThe Seven topics are Seven Sacred Indigenous topics. How the Circle moves and what comes forth individually and collectively will be a result of who shows up on any given date. Each Circle will hold its own magic and connection to what is already embedded in you. Come and explore life through an Indigenous lens. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you find out about life and how you are called to walk in it!\n\nOnce the Seven Circles are complete\, we intend to host a collective integration on Zoom where all participants can come on to share how things are moving\, or have moved\, since they participated in one or more of the gatherings. It promises to be a beautiful experience!\n\nWuniish – A gift and blessing to all from Medicine Story
