Fall Ceremony 2025
A NEW BEGINNING

UPDATE: As of July 24th, we have had to postpone the early September dates for Fall Ceremony this year.

We are seeking new dates and will post them here as soon as they are confirmed.

Reach out to us with any questions

In the last months, we have witnessed a disintegration of life as we have known it, while we also hold the eternal promise of new life growing within and around us!

Creating a world grounded in respect for all of life, begins with each of us deciding to live our lives fully, in balance and in concert with all of life.

As we once again remember and become who we are meant to be in the larger web of life, wholeness will be restored - not only in our own lives and communities, but with Earth herself.

Every year, for 21 Years, Pele and FireHawk have journeyed from California to Minnesota to gather the people in the Way of Sacred Ceremony in harmony with the Land. This year, we warmly invite you once again to explore the ways that we can be and become more fully human together.

Our meeting and sleeping lodge is situated on the shores of Lake Shakopee. There are many beautiful places to enjoy as autumn emerges. A special trail leads to the Cathedral of the Pines and a large Fire Circle nestles beside the lake under the stars.

Ceremony invites us to enter into the Timeless Mystery of Life. In claiming a time to reflect upon our life, we are renewed by the land, her creatures, and by one another. We will weave together time alone, time with others, time with Mother Earth and time with the entire community.

Wondering… Wandering… Discovering… Remembering, so that we can pass on what is ours to give to Life from our own deepest callings. During our ceremony, we will explore anew what it is to be a human from the perspective of The Medicine Wheels.

Who are we as one expression of life?
What is it to be born within beauty?
Who, uniquely, am I?

In the Medicine Way, there is no greater gift we can each give, than to live and express fully the essence of who we are - in concert and harmony with other humans and with all of life.

What is expected of each of us as a participants? *

What outcomes might I expect for myself?

What is expected of each of us as a participants? *

To show up and be present – being who we are is our gift to the circle and to life.

To speak our truth from the heart (as well as the mind) without blame or judgment – our perspective is unique and valuable, just as is that of everyone else. Differences are a gift.

To pay attention to what has heart and meaning for each of us – it will help guide us to the next step upon our life’s path.

To be open to outcome, without being attached – come with a clear intention and then be open to outcomes that may be different than expected.

To keep confidential that which is shared by others, while being free to share my own experiences.

To be aware of and care for our own needs as well as those of the community and to keep finding the places of dynamic balance between the two.

*Thank you to Angeles Arrien who first expressed the first four “expectations”.

What outcomes might I expect for myself?

Greater clarity and skills about how to thrive in challenging times.

An opportunity to slow down and reflect upon my life in a spacious way.

An experience of being connected to the larger rhythms of nature.

Greater awareness of my unique gifts and the opportunity for them to be seen and to share them with the circle.

An experience of belonging in a community while being free to be who I truly am.

Hearing my own voice and the voices of others deeply expressed.

An experience of Earth Wisdom in the context of my own life.
