Eagle Dance Express your Authentic Voice
Family Ceremonial
Weekend
Help
our children keep their Magic!!!
In
today's fast paced lives, families have little quality time together! In the pursuit of Spiritual Awakening,
parents find themselves forced to leave their children at home - This is not
the way of life for our indigenous cultures.
The family/Clan/Community is only complete when our children are
present! We will experience the
4 directions of the Medicine Wheel! Together.
There
will be songs, stories, and creativity for all ages! Together, with love and laughter and lots
and lots of fun!! Share your spiritual
journey - your Children will love it.
Includes: the (too often overlooked) Rites Of
Passage Ceremonies for our adolescents. This “Preparation and Celebration” inspires a stronger sense of
self-worth, personal responsibility, and commitment to live impeccably. A safe
space to come of age!
Women’s
Gatherings 1986-2006
Snake Dance
confronts our collective fear, and subsequent repression, of the feminine. “Pervert the symbol…control
the people.
We are
taught to fear serpents. And serpents are a primordial symbol for our power of
transformation!” DTL
1987
Through the Wisdom Teachings of Indigenous Elders,
Storytelling, and Ceremony, we re-awaken our innate Feminine Energies.

Men’s Gatherings 1988-2006
Journey of
Remembrance
Men of
all ages gather to explore and experience our Rites of Passage.
In indigenous cultures,
our life-changes are as crucial to honor as the yearly seasons.
The Men’s ceremonial
lodge is a most significant part of the tribe. Since our identity as men, in an
ever-changing society, is hard to establish, the Lodge of Men is our safe space
for contemplation, healing and homecoming. An Annual
Ceremonial Gathering
Dragon Flight
Ceremonial
Healing Work for men of all ages.
Today,
many of us live very lonely lives, without friendship or genuine support. It's
time to come together to create magic, laughter, and bonds built upon trust.
The Art of Joy
The
elusive and ethereal quality called Joy, what is it?
How do
we find it? And more importantly… How do we keep it!
We
will reawaken our JOY with Shamanic trance, Group drumming, Power
Chants, Stone People’s Lodge, and a generous portion of fun!
Fathers and
Sons
Exploring our “generational wounds”; the family,
social, and collective mythology that shapes, and all too often, limits us
all.
A weekend of Healing, Celebration and Ceremony.
Mothers and Sons
Restoring
Peace With The Feminine.
Our Elders teach us,
'Everything is born of the Feminine'... In ALL Beings.
It is time to Remember our own inner Feminine...The
power of Introspection, Intuition and Dreaming.
Men and the Cauldron of Creativity.
In our
western civilization, creativity is looked upon as a luxury only few can afford
– “never enough time or energy to make it happen.”
Creativity
is the birthright of every human being… a dance between the Powers of West (the
ability to hold) and East (the ability to birth). Utilizing Shamanic
Techniques, we will discover these Powers within.
Eagle Dance
“With
my woven skirt of many colors, my old fringed boots and my Blanket wrapped 'round my shoulders, I
was silently preparing my morning prayer. Gathering my plumes and a pinch of
sacred herbs, I made my way to the sacred Elder Tree, and resting my body
against Her. I spoke, "I am a child of the Great Spirit
and I am here for All my Relations….that the people might live in Harmony and
Balance, and that together we may restore “right relationship” with All our
Relations.
The one day Eagle Dance
is the traditional predecessor of the full Sun Dance…. If you are, or will
be, a SunDance - this ceremony clarifies your intent.
This is a great
opportunity too deepen your understanding and your commitment to major ceremony
- active prayer.
Beginning
in the Stone People’s Lodge before dawn, then Dancing throughout the day,
cleansing in the Pledge Lodge at Sunset, and completing with our Sacred Feast….
