What is a Heart Circle and Pipe Ceremony?

A Heart Circle is a place in which you can share and converse with your fellow participants, sharing whats on your mind, without interruption. You will be heard, witnessed and supported in what you share. No judgement, no critique, just the love and support of your fellow participants.

What is a Pipe Ceremony? A ceremonial pipe is a particular type of smoking pipe, used by a number of cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas in their sacred ceremonies. Traditionally they are used to offer prayers in a religious ceremony, to make a ceremonial commitment, or to seal a covenant or treaty. The pipe ceremony may be a component of a larger ceremony, or held as a sacred ceremony in and of itself

This video offers a great explanation, although the date references July circle, the description is relevant for the event for future dates.

In this event we will sit in sacred circle, sharing whats on our mind and heart, witnessed by each other. Maybe concerns or topics stimulated by the podcast may be suggested but once the circle begins, the process of healing and sharing begins. When we are done sharing we will then smoke the sacred pipe, as it holds our prayers and intentions. This is a beautiful ceremony with heart felt words, sharing and meditative prayer. Often songs are sung to invite the contemplation. We will be mindful that many attending will be their first time in this process and will be mindful of guiding you in the ceremony so you can feel comfortable and safe. After the ceremony we will have a light potluck feast to complete the process. COME TRY IT OUT!
