MEDICINE WHEEL AND FULL MOON MASKIKI CIRCLES

 This is a 2-part session on Tuesday, July 23 and Monday, August 19 (full moon)

 Part one in July will be with Mosom James Jenka, where he will explain the Medicine Wheel as he understands it. There are many adaptations of the medicine wheel, but we will use James’. He will explain how the Medicine Wheel can be applied to our lives to obtain balance. We will look at the gifts of the four directions, the four races, the four parts of us – body, mind, spirit and emotions – and finally – the four medicines of western Canada.

This first event will be held on Tuesday, July 23rd from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.

Then, in August, we will look deeper into these medicines in our circle with James Jenka and Mountain Offering Woman. We will discuss the uses of medicines of western Canada, including sage, cedar, sweetgrass and diamond willow fungus, as well as the first plant Creator gave to the People – tobacco. We will learn how to respect and find these medicines, pick them, dry them, care for them, and use them.

This second event will be held on Monday, August 19th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.

There will be no cost for this program, pre-registration is encouraged.

Bannock and herbal tea will be served. 

Participants are asked to bring their own lawn chairs as we will be doing these teachings outdoors.
