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

SUMMARY:Shamanic Tools Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Shamanic Tools Workshop \nSunday\, April 7th 5pm to 9pm- arrive 10 minutes before start time for check in Supplies and space limited- pre registration required (link below) \nEach participant will be receiving a “tool bag” with resource information and supplies used for smudging\, protection and percussion. \nEmbark on a transformative journey within\, accessing your profound inner wisdom for personal guidance and healing. Engage with your innate intuition and embrace the shamanic perspective\, viewing the world through the compassionate lens of the heart and the insightful gaze of the third eye. \nA great deal of information will be covered and practiced in this transformative workshop. These topics will include: \n● Various techniques for energetic cleansing and hygiene (one example is smudging) to clear out energies that are not serving us or our space. We will practice using our intuitive senses with each other and within the space with items provided in the “tool bag” that each participant will be receiving. \n● There is a quality of sacred space necessary for this work when establishing an authentic connection with spirit. We will be teaching the components of sacred space with invocation of the medicine wheel and benevolent helping spirits. A printed reference for setting sacred with the medicine wheel directions\, elements and cyclical information will be provided in the “tool bag” as well. \n● Energetic boundaries and protection are indispensable both in daily life and when working in the spirit realms- we will be reviewing and practicing the application of these protective rituals. \nThe above mentioned practices are necessary before moving into the deeper realms of our consciousness\, where we will be traveling in the second half of the workshop: \n● Our breath is an invaluable tool which we will be using to release old energies and blocks that may be hindering connection with spirit. The breathing exercise is very powerful and individuals often note connecting with the divine during the experience. \n● The shamanic journey is an ancient visionary technique used to enter the invisible realm of spirit for healing and guidance. It is the most direct and practical tool for engaging your own inner knowing. Through your journeys you can explore the hidden universe of spirit in the wise and loving care of your spirit allies. Everyone has spirit allies. They are the power animals and helping spirits in the spirit world who protect and help to awaken your dormant spiritual abilities. We will learn the various ways to enter a trance state to traverse the shamanic worlds and enter into our shamanic journey where we will retrieve our individual spirit ally who wants to work with us on our spiritual process and inner healing. \nIt is recommended you bring any items that will help you descend into this state of consciousness. Such materials can include an eye covering\, pillow\, blanket\, mat\, and wearing comfortable clothing. A limited amount of cushions\, yoga mats\, and blankets may be available for use. \nIn your shamanic journey space\, you may gain information from your spirit allies or power animal. Bringing a journal can be valuable to record the messages received for further integration and referencing. \nNo prior shamanic or journeying experience necessary. All levels of shamanic practice are welcome! \nRegistration Information:\nhttps://forms.gle/7DAUBWp6tjf1Jxdo6 \nRecommended minimum investment: $80 \nScholarships may be available for those who are driven by this work but are facing a financial barrier. Email owls.rising@gmail.com Include in the email how you will be using the tools and experiences gained from this workshop. \nFor those who are able to contribute\, please consider making an additional donation upon checkout to apply toward a scholarship providing access for someone in need. \nContact us at owls.rising@gmail.com for other ways to assist. \nLet’s come together to support each other on our spiritual paths!
