Talking Circle: An Introduction to The Medicine Wheel

## 🌀An Introduction to The Medicine Wheel

### Balance, Direction & Walking in Beauty

Wednesday, January 14, 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Pyle Adult Rec Center, Tuscon Room

Across many Indigenous traditions, the Medicine Wheel is not a rigid system, but a living framework for understanding balance, relationship, and healing. From a Diné-informed perspective, wellness is rooted in Hózhó—walking in beauty, harmony, and right relationship with oneself, others, the land, and Spirit.

This Talking Circle offers an educational and reflective introduction to the Medicine Wheel as a guide for navigating life, growth, and inner change. We will explore how the Wheel reflects cyclical time, how the directions offer teachings for different aspects of being human, and how returning to balance is an ongoing practice rather than a destination.

✨ In this circle, we’ll explore:

• What the Medicine Wheel is—and what it is not
• The role of balance and relationship in healing
• Cyclical time versus linear thinking
• How the directions offer guidance for mind, body, emotion, and spirit
• Using the Medicine Wheel as a practical tool for reflection and grounding

This is the begining part of an ongoing series exploring the Medicine Wheel as a living framework for balance, healing, and spiritual growth. Each gathering offers space for reflection, learning, and embodied understanding, supporting a deeper relationship with self, community, and the rhythms of life.

Those who feel called to continue this exploration more deeply will have the opportunity to do so in a longer, immersive workshop later in the season, where these teachings will be experienced through guided practice, embodiment, and integration.

You’re welcome to join one circle, or to return as the journey unfolds—each gathering stands on its own, while gently opening pathways for deeper connection and understanding.
