Traditional Medicine People throughout the world converse with and harness the powers of Nature-the Elemental Forces- for healing, divination and wisdom seeking. In this week long intensive, through Sacred Purifications, time spent in Nature, Sacred Hoop of Life (Medicine Wheel) teachings and journeywork, we commune with each of these Spirit Powers – our eldest relations on the planet - to receive healing, obtain guidance and to incorporate the teachings they offer to transform the course of our lives.
