Greetings all,
I am so pleased to share this very special opportunity! With all that has occurred recently, this “Initiating New Beginnings” expanded workshop (teachings, sweat lodge, sunrise and sacrifice giveaway ceremonies) really feels like what I need and perhaps speaks to you as well.
We will be on very special, beautiful land, Naa-Meh-Neh, in Rice Virginia. It has been the site of spiritual ceremony, dances, and sweats for many years. Rev. Sally Perry (Swami Satchidanand) teachings were taught to her by Beautiful Painted Arrow (Joseph Rael) and the Havasupai tribe at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and are based on the spiritual Medicine Wheel. On Sunday, the spiritual caretakers of the land, Joan Kruzicki and Angela Whittaker, will offer a Sunrise ceremony in the tradition of Beautiful Painted Arrow and Rev. Sally Perry will close with a sacrifice giveaway ceremony.
Please see attached flyer for more details. (If you received this flyer already -please note the date change!)
In Peace,
Miriam
