Teachings of the Medicine Wheel for today’s world with Leo Rutherford
Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM EST
Online, Zoom
Description
In my early adult life, I floundered as if trying to go somewhere without a map of any kind. In mid-life, When I came across the Medicine wheel and spent time learning its meanings, I, at last, had maps to guide me in the directions I really wished to go.
The Medicine Wheel is a series of interlocking maps of life and shows us the forces that operate on us from all directions. The wheels are circles of power and knowledge, ways of understanding life and its circular and cyclical nature. They teach of our connection to all things and show our way to Centre, to balance, our way home.
‘Medicine’ means vital force, it is anything which brings personal power, power over our self, the ability to respond to and to consciously co-create our life. The Medicine Wheel is not a belief system, it is a guide to steer a good heart-full path through life’s many challenges and vicissitudes.
I have found these teachings to be totally relevant to today. They have helped and guided me to stay in balance, to keep reasonably well centred in spite of the many pressures of today's craziness.
Note: The webinar starts at 3pm NYC / 8pm UK. A recording will be available for all ticket holders for 30 days.
