Respecting the native teachings we perform a centuries old ceremony called a " Sharing Circle".


You will experience a traditional "Native Sharing Circle" that warrants the utmost of respect as passed down through the centuries. The feeling of community and family, we consider those in the circle as family. Brothers and sisters with unconditional love and respect.

The "SACRED SEVENS TEACHINGS"will be on topic. There are seven sets of seven teachings. Each circle will focus on one of the 49 teachings. It will be a good idea to track which teachings interest you and make an effort to attend.
The Seven Directions
The Seven Grandfathers
The Seven Sacred Fires and the latest regarding the lighting of the Eighth fire in 2012
The Seven Songs and teachings of the Nawal Eagle Clan
The Seven Colours of the Rainbow and the Teachings of the Rainbow Warrior
The Sacred Seven Chakras and colours identical to the rainbow!!Open up each one to become the Rainbow Warrior
The Sacred Seven Emotions

Other ceremonies with specific teachings such as "Sweat Lodges' and " Vision Quests". Medicine teachings specific to these ceremonies will be discussed and their traditional uses.

The ceremony begins with a smudging using the sage medicine applied with an eagle feather. This will cleanse the spirit of not only you but any sacred objects including drums you wish to bring.

We will begin with a ten to fifteen minute introduction.

Drums are welcomed as subsequent to the introduction we sing the native welcoming song. This song that was used by the First Nations People to welcome the first explorers to the Atlantic coast in the 1600's. This not only welcomes the people on this plane into the circle but also all of the ancestors that join us from the other plane.

One of the 49 teachings will then be presented in detail. The "The Seven Songs and teachings of the Nawal Eagle Clan" will conclude the teachings.

Subsequent to the Nawal Eagle Clan songs our "Sacred Sevens Stone" found only in Brazil will be passed around the circle with an offer to share anything you wish. Words are strictly voluntary and should you so choose to not speak it will be gracefully respected.

We close the circle with a prayer.

During the course of the circle we will offer the traditional native feasting of fresh strawberries.

Sometimes circle will take on a life of it's own, we just let it flow.
