Teachings of the Medicine Wheel: Part 1: Working with Fire with Evan Pritchard, Professor of Native American Studies
Further Teachings of the Medicine Wheel: Working Creatively With the Elements of the Four Directions

Saturday, September 26
Workshop 1: 3:30 – 5:30pm Starting with the eastern direction of the wheel, the direction of fire and the sunrise, we will create a medicine wheel using fire. We will arrange fifty votive candles in the sacred geometry of the Medicine Wheel to symbolize the first fifty Algonquian nations that came before us. Each candle also represents a year of our lives, a night of the lunar cycle, or a month of the year. Some candles represent much more, as we will learn as we light them one by one and receive the teachings.
Workshop 2: 6:00 – 8:00pm More advanced teachings about the sacredness of fire in Algonquin cul- ture and how we can cultivate a more fiery spirit to speak up for truth and to let our spirits shine a bit more brightly.
Cost: Individual: Workshop 1 or 2: $35 (WM) $40 (NM); Both workshops: $60(WM) $70 (NM) Series (5% discount): (includes workshop 1 & 2): $228 (WM) $266 (NM)
