We have closed all our meetings in person. We have reached out remotely but have not done so with great effort. At this time, things are slowly moving along as what is expected with our current COVID - 19 situation. We hope that today you are all doing well and taking great care of yourselves. Keep strong and diligent in caring for yourself and your family. If you have a prayer request, please reach out to Weeya as she continues moon ceremonies at her home. We ask all sisters, who practice moon ceremonies, to reach out to those in need and offer prayers for them during this time. Be well. Prayer Request Here
Since the beginning of time, we have been taught The Medicine Way to walk. Some teachings varied from tribe to tribe amongst people. As far as I can find and have been taught by my elders, this is the closest version of how to walk The Medicine Way. Ponder the teachings and make them your own. Apply them to your life and you will begin to see a great awakening of your spirit and a peace into your life. Even if its just one thing, apply it to your life. – A-gi-ya

We had our first online Women's Talking Circle last night, April 23. We had a room full of vibrant, strong women who uplifted each other and showed great support for others. The main theme that seemed to resonate among all the women there was that we need each other. We need to uplift those around us. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. It was a great meeting and we look forward to having continued monthly meetings during this difficult time. Be well sisters. |
