Walking the Sacred Hoop: 1 Year Journey of Transformation
SIGN UP NOW!!!!!!! First class March 27th, 2022
Description
The Sacred Hoop of the Native American & other wisdom traditions illuminates dancing and traveling the medicine wheel through many lifetimes. It is a metaphor for our journey through life. One can travel the MW for a lifetime and keep moving and changing, learning, & transforming. It is a spiral of growth moving up and up and around and around. The Red Road, S/N, represents living life with purpose, in a spiritual way. The Blue Road, E/W, is the spirit world where our grandmothers and grandfathers go after death. The sacred hoop teaches us about the Universe, transformation, peace, death-rebirth, cycles of life, and harmony with all of creation. One learns to honor of each step on the journey. There is no beginning or end, it is a spiral dance. All of life can be lived as sacred. Each stone and place on the sacred hoop has special lessons to teach. It is a communal and individual path about creating greater harmony and healing with All. Wisdom and knowledge can be gained on the physical, mental, emotional, environmental, and spiritual level.
Combining shamanic journeying with the Medicine Wheel can be very powerful. It enables us to tap into the universal life force, bring power back to ourselves, and take accountability to create the life we want. The Medicine Wheel has been used throughout history to assist in manifestation and healing. Everything seen and unseen has its place on the Wheel. What happens on one part of the Medicine Wheel impacts the entire Medicine Wheel. The teachings cover the animal, plant, color, bird, & mineral kingdoms. We focus on starting in the East and work our way, in order, to the South, West, North, Above, Below, and Center. Working with the seven directions is a great way to deepen our connection to the cycles of our life and universe.
Prayerfully consider if this is a journey in which you wish to embark-with other likeminded-hearted beings, both human and more than human. We will build interconnectedness and form a tribe to be of service to All That IS. The Sacred Hoop is calling us to transform and live the highest potentiality of ourselves. It is a choice to enter into the path of destiny and calling for which we incarnated. AHO!
