What is the Medicine Wheel?
The Medicine Wheel teachings are among
the oldest teachings of First Nation people. Its age is approximately 2500-3000 years old. It is a major symbol of peaceful
interaction among all living things on Mother Earth and it represents harmony and connections. The word “medicine”
as it is used in the term Medicine Wheel, refers to a healing, spiritual energy, a mirror within which everything is reflected
back. The circle of the Wheel has no beginning or end, always moving, always continuing. It is believed that the circle represents
a harmonious relationship with nature and with all living things that are our relatives and that all things are connected
and equal. The first “Medicine Wheel” was discovered in Wyoming and is referred to as the big Horn Medicine Wheel.

Oneness. All things are interrelated. Everything in
the universe is a part of a single whole. Everything is connected in some way to everything else. It is therefore possible
to heal the separation we may feel within us and step into the rhythm of oneness.
The Medicine Wheel
constitutes who we are as individuals. To be a whole person is to be aware of all four aspects of ourselves: mental, emotional,
physical, and spiritual as we travel the circle of life as a child, young adult, adult and then as an elder. To discover and
