Come join us as we enter this sacred space near the Fall Equinox
for our “Remember, Release, and
Realize” Sacred Ceremony.
September 21st, at 9am
Our Medicine Wheel, based on the Mayan tradition, was created over Memorial Day Weekend 2010, under the sacred direction of WindEagle and RainbowHawk of Ehama Institute and 50 members of our commUnity. The weekend culminated with Interfaith blessings from eight different spiritual disciplines in honor of the eight directions.
Native Americans say the Wheel is the earth’s navel and connects us to Mother Earth. It is a portal of prayer that we walk through being mindful of our Divine connection.
It is important when you first walk into the Medicine Wheel to enter from the East (signified by the yellow flag) between the two gateway rocks, and as you do, to say a prayer “For All Our Relations.” Remember your ancestors before walking in, and walk clockwise in a respectful fashion.
There are crystals planted in the earth around the Wheel that were mined with the intention of Peace, starting with Black Elk’s “Inner First Peace” and an intention for World Peace.
This is our sacred prayer intention to mend the Sacred Hoop of All Creation.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin... All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer...
To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.
To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.
To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.
To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.
To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.
To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages. I thank you.
To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.
You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.
Thank you for this Life.
