Cherokee Full Circle

PRAYER - Blessing Way

O Great One, I come before you in a humble manner, 
giving thanks for all living things in Creation.
I offer the clarity of my mind, body, spirit and natural space in prayer to you, O Great One, for the spirit of all Creation.
I offer thanks and what gifts I have to Four Sacred Directions and powers of the universe and I pray:

 To the spirit of fire in the East,
 To the spirit of Earth in the South,
 To the spirit of Water in the West,
 To the Spirit of Wind in the North.

I pray and give thanks to you O Great One.
I pray and give thanks to Mother Earth, Father Sky, Grandfather Sun,
Grandmother Moon, and all of our relations in the Greater Circle of Life.
I thank you for your power, energy, wisdom and sacred gifts, because without you and the guidance of all my relations, I would not be able to live, and love, and grow, and feel and learn.
I ask that I be shown another way if I have ever harmed or hurt other living things.
I pray, offering what gifts I have, that you may guide us, heal us, purify us, and protect us. 
I pray for all of our relations that we may exist together in harmony and balance.

FULL CIRCLE

FALL 2017

Dear Friends of Full Circle:

You are invited to join us on September 15, 16, & 17, 2017 at the Chestnut Tree Inn in Cherokee, North Carolina for our Fall Full Circle weekend gathering.  Registration will begin at 6:30 PM on Friday evening with Full Circle starting at 7 PM in the hotel conference room.  We will close the circle no later than noon on Sunday.  

The focus of this Full Circle is on the teachings of Little Animals in Cherokee culture and traditions.  We will also focus on the role of the Moons and Ceremonies of the Ancient Ones. The positive influences surrounding us can become integrated into our Medicine Wheel and Way of Life.  The teachings will include Nature and Animal Totems that guide us as helpers.  You will be part of group activities in finding your own guides.  As Doc Sequoyah once said, "Let our Little Animals and everything in Nature be our teachers and helpers.  If we listen and learn to accept, we will better understand how we are all brothers and sisters helping one another." 

The legends and stories about Cherokee Moons teaches us how to protect our families. We have Nature and Animals to guide us in accepting relationships and our changing roles today.  Insects, fish, plants, animals, and stones also have lessons and healing for us.  Learn more about your own "Medicine" as you participate in this Fall Full Circle 2017.
