Welcome to the 4th Annual 1998
Gathering of Circles

 Welcome to the 1998 Gathering of Circles. This annual event is sponsored and supported by various individuals and circles of people in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and other states who wish to get together and share ideas, ceremonies, spirituality, talents, and friendship. We gather on Thursday night for the opening pipe ceremony and introductions. Friday morning we have a circle for all in which we provide an itinerary of the various activities for the weekend. These events include, but are not limited to, workshops on massage, yoga, rakie, shamanic drumming, drum-making, self-hypnosis, meditation, Myers Briggs test, Rock-a-Bye, mask making, face painting, world class pancake breakfast, children's activities, sweat lodges, 12-step meeting, "Sweet Medicine Dance", Give-A-Way, and feast. Bobby Ashworth and Dan Leonard will begin by leading us in a "get acquainted" activity. Friday afternoon and Saturday morning there will be scheduled workshops. Separate Men's and Women's sweat lodges will be held Friday night, and a co-ed sweat will be available on Saturday night after the Dance. Sunday morning we will all gather again for the give-a-way ceremony and feast. We should be ready to leave the area by 2:00 p.m.
