Women’s Wisdom Circle - Third Year

The Turning of the Medicine Wheel* - A Year of Transformation

We walk the Medicine Wheel many times in our life, each time coming to acquire more of the bounty of the direction, as we become more aligned with our true self. Each direction has it’s challenges (shadows), it’s opportunities, it’s blessings and gifts. We can tell where we are walking on the wheel at any given time by the nature of our experiences. When we add consciousness to the mix, our discovery of the gifts in the situation happens much more readily, our path softened by the infusion of our spirit’s awareness. As we access the Wise Woman within, and learn to focus on our walk from the perspective of her wisdom, the light of self-realization appears with ease, and we are more and more blessed all the time.
