Working with Air

Workshop 1: 1:00 – 3:00pm Continuing to the southern direction of the wheel, the direction of air and wisdom, we will create a medicine wheel using commonly found feathers in the pattern of the Medicine Wheel. We will also each

create a ribbon bundle embodying the seven directions of the wheel which we will take home and place in the wind where the prayers em- bodied in the ribbon will fly to the seventh level in the sky and beyond. We will also have a “talking feather” circle in which we allow spirit to speak through us to the others in the circle.

Workshop 2: 3:30 – 5:30pm

More advanced teachings about the sacredness of air in Algonquin culture, and how we can cultivate more of the wisdom of air in our speech, and our thoughts.
