Our Healing Circles...
are held on or close to the Full Moon.
Are you a Shamanic Practitioner or Healer seeking to gain more hands on experiential learning?
We hold our Full Moon "Sing" (ceremony) in a sacred space to provide just such an opportunity. As a group we gather to form a small Community, a temporary Medicine Society in order to facilitate healing services for someone (the recipient/client) in need of help. Our Sing is similar to a Yuwipi Ceremony except that the lights stay on low and no one gets wrapped in a blanket or tied up. Our ThunderWolf Spirit Pack is howling, sending out the call to attract and gather people who are knowledgeable yet willing to expand their learning in this setting, those whom we can trust to support us when we are feeling vulnerable and who can admit when they are feeling unsure. The first journey of the evening shows each attending Practitioner/Helper how we as a group will chart the course of healing for the receptive Client. Each of us have particular talents, drives or experience which we value or at other times, will defer to. We can translate this as "sensing together". Soul Retrievals and or spirit canoe journeys, curse unraveling and pattern reweaving, extractions, spirit release and compassionate depossession are examples of what is likely to be a part of the healing process. What every individual knows about, cares about or is calm about determines our unique importance and contribution. Each Full Moon, we might extend the invitation to two Shamanic assistants or Practitioners who choose to assist Sonara with a Sing.
Shamanic Healing offers immediate help to anyone suffering from the effects of abuse, trauma, depression or injury to name a few examples. Are you ready to transform the spiritual root cause of an illness so that other forms of treatment work more effectively? We will gladly reunite you with your own Helping Spirits, Power Animals and or Soul Parts. They in turn offer wisdom, clarity, guidance and healing as well as a sense of comfort and companionship. We may also assist in the removal of unwanted guests or intrusions.
Would you like to be the Recipient or Client? You will be asked to make 444 prayer ties for the alter perimeter, give a financial contribution to the Lodge Host in cash and offer gifts or giveaways to 1-2 assistants. You'll sit in the center of the circle. Be willing and open to receive your healing. Even if you are nervous, we will do our best to make you comfortable. Know that we will keep you safe. Two friends or family members may attend as supportive sacred witnesses. They will be asked to sit just outside of the circle of prayer ties. If they do not know how to journey they may sit quietly, observing and holding prayers of intention for healing. Other participants - friends or family who know how to journey may be asked to assist with protection as Dog Soldiers. Our Healing circles are Sacred Ceremonies and we ask each and every one who participates to refrain from doing drugs and alcohol the day before and on the day they plan to attend. Plant Spirits become valued allies when brought into ceremony and approached in a respectful manner. (If someone smokes a joint just before the ceremony, they will be asked to leave.) Based on personal experience, I ask participants to be present and clear headed during this Circle as well as punctual because the door will be locked just before we start. Each person attending must also be willing to commit to staying for the complete ceremony as we cannot allow the ceremony to be interrupted. This keeps everyone safe.
Wolves are always ready to challenge our ego's if they even begin to spin out of control. Our Full Moon "Sing" at ThunderWolf Medicine Lodge is based on the wisdom and sentience of the entire ThunderWolf Spirit Pack with an added boost from the healing medicine gifts of Bear, Buffalo (Billy) and Nature. As a Leader and workshop facilitator, I strive to sense others strong points and encourage each individual to contribute to the group. I desire to create an authentic community where people's true feelings, talents, dreams and motivations are acknowledged and supported. I work in partnership with Nature using the concept of a soil-less garden.
For example; the business is the soil, the components, workshops, etc, are all integral parts of the overall garden design. Each participant, practitioner and Spirit Helper can be seen symbolically as a plant or flower in the garden. Our teachings feed us as we grow together in harmonious beauty. Each element adds balance, stability and beauty to the overall garden. If we don't have the opportunity to help someone with a group healing, we may change the focus and call a circle to do a trance posture, experiment with multiple drumming or journey to crystals, rocks or plant spirits. In that case, the desires and needs of the group will determine the focus.
* A little research about Shamanic Healing might help to round out your views and broaden your understanding before or after your ceremony.
I highly recommend reading any books by Michael Harner or Sandra Ingerman.

Full Moon "Sing"Victoria, BC.Does someone you know need healing assistance? Are you in need yourself?
If you have a question, "What is a Soul Retrieval?" then you may want to read our page on this site... (Click on the Soul Retrieval heading in the menu at the top of this page.) Our Intention - The Circle is open to one Recipient who is in need of a special healing session - RSVP only. My Helping Spirits have stated that there should be a negotiable exchange of energy, a payment between the recipient and the Lodge Host. This means that a contribution of cash, a tobacco offering of 444 prayer ties as well as a small gift or $ donation for each of the helpers is appropriate. (one or two assistants) Participants - Since the work being done is also for our benefit as shamanic practitioner's (we advance our skills), it is important that shamanic assistants already have a working relationship with their Guides and Power Animals. Two family members or friends who have little or no journey experience are welcome to sit on the outer edge of the circle and hold the space with intention as sacred witnesses who truly support the Client's process. We ask each person attending to please be punctual. A door person will be standing by the entrance. Please arrive at least a few minutes early to allow for social time and settling in. After everyone arrives, the door will be locked. The Healing Circle will begin, sacred space set and the directions called. Our first journey determines the diagnosis and methods of treatment. A spirit canoe is a possibility, along with soul retrieval and extraction or depossession work. Information that is received and journey experiences are shared for the Client's benefit. If we don't have a "patient" to work our magic on... then we may call a circle to journey to plant spirits, trees or crystals for exploration or journey in trance postures for more learning and fun. We'll finish and close the circle. The approximate length is within a four hour time frame. Each (family member or guest) supporting participant's $20 donation helps build ThunderWolf Medicine Lodge & Sanctuary. These healing ceremonies are available once a month on a Sunday evening. on or as close to the Full Moon as possible... our Next Circle is available. |
