REMEMBER!
There was a time when we knew how to belong.
Our ancestors lived in relationship—with one another, with Mother Earth, with plants and animals, and with the unseen world. They gathered to share food, stories, medicine, wisdom, grief, celebration, birth, death, and the mysteries of life.
Community was woven into the fabric of their lives.
Across generations, colonization, displacement, and oppression disrupted many of these connections. The women who carried medicine, wisdom, intuition, and healing were often silenced or pushed to the margins.
But the wisdom did not disappear.
Some of it still lives within you.
Perhaps you feel it as a longing for deeper connection, a desire to gather, or a knowing that we were never meant to do this alone.
You may carry ancestral gifts—intuition, healing, storytelling, ceremony, creativity, deep listening, or the ability to care for others. These gifts were never meant to exist in isolation. They were meant to be shared and to strengthen the circle.
You are a generational weaver of the future.
Join us in this JOURNEY OF REMEMBRANCE—a return to belonging, a return to the circle, and a return to the power of community.
RETURN TO COMMUNITY in the Womb of Sedona!
We were never meant to walk this path alone.
In this sacred gathering, we return to community—to the deep remembering that we belong to something greater than ourselves. We gather to reconnect with one another, with the Earth, with our roots, and with the wisdom carried through the generations before us.
Together, we’ll create space to be witnessed, supported, nourished, and remembered. We’ll explore what becomes possible when we bring our whole selves into relationship with others and remember that healing is not always an individual journey—it can happen through connection, reciprocity, and belonging.
As we return to community and our ancestral roots, we may also begin to recognize the gifts that have always lived within us: intuition, healing, vision, creativity, and deep inner knowing. These gifts were never meant to be held only for ourselves. They become offerings—ways of caring, creating, guiding, and serving our communities.
This is a return to belonging.
A return to reciprocity.
A return to the wisdom of the circle.
A remembering that we are not alone—and that together, we are more whole.
"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 nine 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.
RECLAIMING WEALTH: Healing, Receiving & Nurturing Abundance with Anissa Beyard (aka Goddess Speaks)
In the energy of the Fire Goat, we return to community—remembering that abundance was never meant to be created, carried, or experienced alone.
Reclaiming Wealth is an experiential healing, mindset, and wealth journey exploring the inner patterns that shape our ability to receive, nurture, and sustain abundance.
Through guided reflection, breath, sound, mindset work, and sacred ritual, we will release outdated money stories, reconnect with our capacity to receive, and explore what it means to nurture wealth from a place of wholeness rather than survival.
Together we move through:
HEAL → REWIRE → RECEIVE → NURTURE
Come ready to soften, release, receive, and remember the power of community.
Wealth is more than what we acquire. It is what we have the capacity to receive, nurture, share, and grow.
Return to community. Receive the fire. Nurture the wealth within.
