Finding One's True Identity and Place In Creation When you sit in a vision circle or a sweat lodge or a meditation,
two questions keep presenting themselves. These questions often come
through wild creatures and sometimes through ancestral spirits. Sometimes
they are dramatic while at other times quiet, subtle. The vision circle
and the sweat lodge melt away the cultural layers until the questions
throb with every beat of our hearts. |

“Talking Stick and Give a Way” – Pamela Scheler Bring a gift wrapped in a paper bag for the “give-a-way.” This should be something of significance (meaningful) to you, which you now want to relinquish your attachment to, and pass on to a new keeper. The size or monetary value of this item is irrelevant but the more significant to you the better. It may be symbolic of something of yourself, which you have or wish to turn loose of so that your “hands” are freed up for your present pursuits. Listen to your heart in deciding what to “give-a-way” at this time. |

“Feast” - Bring “pot luck” dish and share the fellowship. Please stay as long as you can to help take down the sweat lodges and police the campsites. |
