'Sacred Circle'

An Altar is developed over the course of the four days that offers ancient wisdom to the group.

Participation in the free ceremonial activities offered during the course enlighten the gathering on how to ‘Walk the Stone People’ in honor. A variety of ceremonies come to life, including ‘Smudge’, ‘Shamanic Journey’, ‘Prayer Tie Offerings’, ‘Gathering/Harvesting’ and of course
‘Inyan Pejuta’ (Stone Medicine).

Detailed explanations of how to care for the stones and how to offer them in a respectful manner help the practitioner recognize the importance of this modality for modern society.

  Life as a ‘Stone Walker’ is discussed in terms of the ‘Red Road’, the ‘Good Medicine Way’ and living as the ‘Hollow Bone’. Accepting the Stone Tribe as the historians of Mother Earth, with living wisdom for all humanity, enhances the practitioner’s ability to properly serve their fellow ‘Two Legged’.
