NEW DATE – Medicine Wheel Indigenous Teaching with Elder John Sinclair

Join us in a traditional teaching circle led by Indigenous elder John Sinclair, where we will explore the Circle of Life and how it guides us to walk in a good way. Through the gifts of the four directions, we will learn how these teachings support healing and balance in our own journeys. The stones—known as the Ancient Ones—will be honoured as carriers of memory and story, inviting each participant to reflect on the meaning of their own stone. This gathering is an opportunity to connect deeply with the medicine wheel, to find your place within the circle of life, and to strengthen the threads that connect us all.
