Only a Shaman could do it! As our November Topic Leader, Priscilla Howick, performed the mystical connection to our ancestors of many cultures before us at our Q'ero Fire Ceremony we were transported. She created a ceremony so traditional it linked each of us to times gone by, when far up in the cold climates of the Andes Mountains in Peru the Q’ero people (descendants of the Incas) would gather for a fire ceremony to release their intentions and prayers for good of our Mother Earth. The Q’ero elders have lovingly offered us stewardship of their ancient ceremonies to help us remember the ways our ancestors practiced in all corners of the world.
Way down from those mountain tops to the sunny, warm coastline of earth's ocean boundary, were 30 women re-creating and participating in the cultural kneeling before a fire pit, blowing their intentions into their fire stick, basking in the flames and smoke that will send those prayers into the Universe for personal & global transformation.
It is still the way. Stop, Attend, Listen, Unite, Care for, and Love our Mother Earth. Thank you Priscilla, and with the help of your sisters in Shamanism - Jean and Janice, the wisdom warriors have expanded their hearts, minds, and spirits.

Of course, our topic was the day's highlight, but our spirits were unified as we enjoyed the ritual and ceremony of Carol Wise Mother Earth Greeting and sang a chant, Hantio, shared by Brooke Medicine Eagle on a recent radio interview.
The chant was one of request and clearing with a promise that we will continue walking our enchanting paths toward Spirit. With each of us being adorned with a Wisdom Pendant upon introduction and welcome, we radiated the depth & intent of our roundtable's purpose as each warrior cleared their path by showing up and sharing their heart space with us.
A day of ritual, ceremony, song, and sharing....perfect!
