Intro to Manifesting & Channeling your Spirit Guide (Zoom too)
2021-03-06 18:00 - 20:00
Join us as we cover two fun topics; Manifesting and Channeling your Spirit Guides
While manifesting is a common term used nowadays, we will offer a different perspective along with some tools to really hone this craft. We will cover which misconceptions are really blocking you, whether you are trying to manifest money, love, healing, career or anything else.
Afterwards, we will then introduce the concept of channeling, and we will all use a meditation to make contact with our guides. We will start with developing a secure and safe foundation so this will be a great intro for all levels.
So, we are combining two great experiences into one.
No prior experience is necessary. All are welcome as long as you come with an open mind and respectful heart.
Cost is $15-$25; depending on your comfort level… with love and gratitude.

Please show up in work clothes to help build the fire and clean up grounds. Please bring a rake if you have one. As our elders taught us, “work is worship”. Thus, the building of the lodge and making relations with our grounds is part of the ceremony.
To go into the lodge, please bring 1 or two towels and appropriate clothes to wear into lodge. Men should wear shorts and women should have long skirt and shirt covering shoulders. Traditionally, you bring a tobacco offering for the fire, the intercessor and the firekeeper.
There is no charge for this ceremony, but each person should bring something to contribute to our feast afterwards. Here are other things our center would appreciate:

Firewood (aged)
Rocks (suitable for heating in lodge)
Sage, Sweet grass, Flat cedar, Tobacco
Personal Blankets
Paperware (plates, cups, napkins, utensils, paper towels, toilet paper)
Candles (any size unscented)
Solar lights
Cotton Cloth Strips (yards of traditional black, red, yellow, white, blue, green, purple)

We will begin prepping for ceremony around 3:30pm (but see note below). We will also be practicing songs and learning how to make prayer ties.. We have electricity in case you want to bring a crockpot.
Please understand that if this is your first time, part of the teachings of this way of life our respect, patience and generosity. So, there may be several reasons you are asked to offer support and pray outside the lodge. If it is crowded and we have enough supplies, we may pour back to back lodges. We will practice safe social distancing and encourage the wearing of a mask when possible. Please do not come if you have any flu-like symptoms.
With Love & Gratitude. Mitakua Oyasin
