If you know deep inside that there is something that has been forgotten. . . If you feel you may have gifts that can serve the world, but you aren't quite sure what they are. . . If you are healing the wounds passed down by the women in your lineage. . . If you understand that your ancestors had wisdom and medicine that have been lost or hidden. . . If you care deeply about the state of the world. . . If you desire to be part of its healing - and dream a new and wonderful world into being!
….Then we INVITE YOU to JOIN US for this MAGICAL Gathering of Medicine Women, where you get to REMEMBER YOUR OWN BRILLIANCE and RETURN to the GIFTS OF YOUR ANCESTORS!
REMEMBER!
RETURN TO YOUR ANCESTRAL GIFTS in the Womb of Sedona!
There are gifts inside you—quiet, powerful, ancient. In this sacred gathering, you will remember and reclaim the unique ancestral gifts that were always yours—intuition, healing, vision, and deep inner knowing. You’ll remember the wisdom that lives in your bones: the healer’s touch, the intuitive knowing, the voice of the Earth speaking through your heart. These are not new tools, but old ones—passed through your lineage, waiting for you to return. Together, we’ll awaken your unique ancestral gifts and learn how to use them in everyday life for healing, clarity, strength, and service. As you reconnect to your roots, your path becomes clearer, your confidence grows, and your soul remembers why it came. This is a return to wholeness, where your ancestral gifts become tools for healing yourself, your family, and the world.
"Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. "Be still," they say. "Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands."
~ Linda Hogan

PIPE CEREMONY with Deborah Redshirt
During the eight years of my journey in the Sacred Sundance, I became a Pipe Holder. Not only am I a Sacred Pipe Holder, but also a Bundle Holder/Keeper for the Buffalo Women's Society in the Blackfeet Way of Life.
I will work as a vessel for those in the circle. I will start with certain protocol and pray in my language as an introduction, then repeat in English. I will then pass the pipe to the person to my left, and they will pray with the pipe and pass to the next person until the pipe makes a full circle and makes it back to me.
I will then take all the prayers from everyone and offer to Great Spirit and close up the circle.
