There's a lot of Hungry People out there... [View all]

Hungry for Spirit, hungry for native wisdom, hungry for tribe...

so, here's an idea...instead of 'marketing' our Circles as a group meditation, caring, and support kind of thing, which is often too woo-woo for the 'normals'...

Here's my new idea:

"Native Wisdom 101"

to begin by offering these as short, weekly lunch hour groups...

learn to sit in a sacred circle
learn the ways of the talking stick
learn about the directions and their continued meaning in our lives
learn about sage and other sacred items


I plan on following up with a couple e-books...like a "spirituality for dummies" kind of theme... how to bless and prepare food, how to integrate prayer into daily practice...etc...

what do you guys think? Could this be the gateway to creating the Tribe I have always wanted? Could this be the gateway to actually creating some $$$$ in my life?

i wonder what astrological significance this idea and launch has? Me and Lucie have been visioning this for a while, but the real nuts and bolts are *just* beginning to fall into place...
