January Women’s Wheel
Monday, 12 January 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge and on-line
And/Or please RSVP for Tuesday afternoon Clan Mothers
Tuesday, 13 January 2026, 12:00pm-2:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge only
As our Elders on this planet, the Standing People show us how to balance our natures as a spiritual being in a physical body by connecting to Mother Earth through their roots and Father Sky through their branches.
When we stretch our arms upward, the body creates two circles. The upper circle encircles Father Sky while the lower circle encircles Mother Earth. These are the Medicine Wheels of life with the Sky Wheel bringing messages from the Spirit World and the Earth Wheel the teachers of those messages. Meeting at the heart, they form a figure eight, helping us to understand that both worlds are one.
I am looking forward to being in Ceremony with all of you. Together, we will feed our spirits to walk the Beauty Path.
All women over the age of 10 welcome. Suggested energy exchange: £15

The dreams are limited only by your imagination and can include things in the physical, the emotional, the mental, the spiritual.

Healing Circle
Wednesdays 7, 14, 21 and 28 January 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – TML and on-line

Open Creative Afternoons
Usually every Tuesday Afternoon 1:00pm – 5:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge
In community, people used to craft together. These Open Creative times are an opportunity for us to come together in community and create! When we create, we come into alignment with Spirit, our creations come straight from our Orenda and become tangible Spirit in our lives. Dolphin wants us to know that when we are fully absorbed in creation, play, or the wonder and beauty of Nature, we are receiving a healing. This Medicine is offered with Grace – we are worthy of receiving it just by being alive.
We will work in a sociable way but also in Ceremony with Sacred intent.
This little medicine bag is one of my creative projects. What’s yours? Come early, come late, or just come have a tea with us and watch the rest of us work but just show up!

Tuesday, 3 February 2026, 12:00pm-2:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge only
In this 2nd Moon Cycle of the Seneca Wheel of Truth, we learn to Honor the Truth – both our personal truth as well as that of others. When we honour the Sacred Point of View of All Our Relations, we learn to be a neutral presence in the lives of others. When we honour and respect others, harmony follows.
After months of turning inward, of rest & retreat, of tending to our inner landscape, life begins to stir again. As Bear ends its hibernation, so we too emerge anew in the world. Imbolc is a time of transition and change. We are the ones we have been waiting for. Let us Walk the Beauty Path together in community where we become Way Showers.
Please do bring along your Sacred Braid for this month – your word, Animal Totem and Sacred Path card. If you weren’t with us at the Setting Our Energies Ceremony, please pull a card or drum/rattle to discern your energy and Totem for the month. Please also bring rattles and drums, a lap cloth and cushion for floor sitting.

And/Or please RSVP for Tuesday afternoon Clan Mothers
Tuesday, 3 March 2026, 12:00pm-2:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge only
In the 3rd Moon Cycle on the Seneca Wheel of Truth, we learn how to Accept the Truth. In today’s world, Accepting the Truth is not always easy because it is not always easy to know what the truth is. And in a such a world of uncertainty and change, it is easy to fall into the Field of Fear – a rabbit hole of illusion, pessimism and nervousness. Being caught in this web of lies, deception and half-truths keeps us out of balance and unable to fully connect with Spirit.
But this is exactly when we Accept the Truth that we do not know all — but Spirit does know all! Owl sits in the East on the Medicine Wheel, the place of illumination. For some, Owl is known as the Night Eagle, able to light up our blind side, to help us see with (Night) Eagle Eyes, not the Ego Eyes of our personalities. Now is the time for us to go into the Silence and call on Owl to help us discern the truth, to help us see what others cannot. Now, at this great Time of Awakening, is the time for us to wipe the dust from our eyes and free ourselves from the Illusion of Matter – we are expansive, limitless energy beings! Now is the time to dream the big Medicine dreams to heal ourselves, our loved ones and our world.
Suggested energy exchange: £15
Please do bring along your Sacred Braid for this month – your word, Animal Totem and Sacred Path card. If you weren’t with us at the Setting Our Energies Ceremony, please pull a card or drum/rattle to discern your energy and Totem for the month.

Getting to Know Your Helping Spirits
Sunday, 8 March 2026, 1:00pm-5:00pm – Tayanita Medicine Lodge only
If we want to have strong Medicine – that is, strong personal power – our relationship with our Helping Spirits is an important part of this shamanic path – one of the most important. They protect us, guide us, help and support us. They see things with ‘Eagle Eyes’ – from the view of Creator. What kind of relationship do you have with your Guides and Totems?
In this workshop, we will explore those relationships further. I will guide you through journeying on questions to get to know your Helping Spirits, touching on different aspects of these relationships.
This will be a very easy day with lots of dreaming so bring your cushions, blankets, an eye covering, a water bottle and whatever else you need to be comfortable in the lodge. Also bring a notebook and pen.
RSVPs required.
Suggested energy exchange: £35-£50

The Medicine Wheel
Thursday, 19 March 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – TML and on-line
Circle to Work with Our Growing Edge
Thursdays – starts 19 March 2026, 7:00pm-9:00pm – TML or on-line
The Native American Medicine Wheel and the Celtic Wheel of the Year are both a way of life and a mirror for helping us learn and grow. By working with the energies of the chief solar events and their mid-points, we are connected with all life, shown how to have balance, how to connect with the seasons and the environment and much more. These non-linear ways of being help us see through the illusion of time and space, connecting us with the beauty and harmony of the spirit world.
This circle meets 8 Thursday evenings throughout the year – see dates below – and encompasses the energies of the 4 quarters and the 4 cross-quarters. As we work with our growing edges and explore together in community, we will work with the energies of the directions, the seasons, the Totems, the aspects of Self and much more
Starting in March, in the East, we begin with our engagement with life and work through the annual cycle of the year and our lives – putting you at the centre of the circle of your life. We will use teachings and flow in connection with spirit, to work with our edges and celebrate our successes together. If you want to spread your spiritual wings or master challenges in your life this circle is for you.
All are welcome – men and women from all traditions.
Energy exchange: £160-£200 for the year. Deposits due 15 March 2026 (1/2 the yearly total).
This is a closed circle – registration for 2026 is now open.
