For everyone who is planning to participate in Walking the Medicine Wheel 2011, when your package arrives, read through the folder on the Constitutional Pattern. This will prepare you for beginning the process.
Your constitutional pattern includes information on the element archetype present in your physical form. This is 50% of your pattern, inherited through your DNA from your ancestors. This element comes with its own inherent characteristics, qualities, tendencies, and issues.
The other 50% of your constitutional pattern comes in with you before birth, and reflects the soul's intention for this lifetime. It is called your cosmic pattern, and is generated from accumulated traumas, unresolved issues, preferences, and habits acquired through many lifetimes of incarnation.
Together, these two parts of the constitutional pattern form an energetic foundation for how you will experience the reality in this incarnation, which issues will be presented, and where the potential for healing lies. The Grace and Sovereignty section will describe the attitude and characteristics of one who has resolved the pattern you are working with.
The schedule for online Talking Circles is as follows:
Sunday, January 9--Opening Ceremony Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, January 30--South Direction Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, February 20--West Direction Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, March 13--North Direction Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, April 10--Closing Ceremony Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
We will begin each ceremony with a song or drumming, so if you have a drum or rattle, please have them available for the ceremony. For the opening ceremony, you may want to have your cedar bark smudge stick (included in package), matches, and a fire-proof ash tray or small bucket to contain the smudge.
We will hold the ceremonies exactly as if we are all together in one room, as the elders have taught the Talking Circle. You should all receive an e-mail from webex inviting you to the first one, with information on how to log on. I recommend you log on at least 15 minutes early before the ceremony starts the first time since there is a little software to download.
We look forward to our special time together!
Kachina and BThunder
