MEN’S GATHERINGS AND PROGRAMS

Men's gatherings include Talking circles, sacred fire ceremonies, medicine wheel teachings, drum making, self renewal and contemplation lodges.

Healing Circle
Although the healing circle is a Native tradition we feel everyone can benefit from the power of the circle and that it helps remove negative feelings that have been very difficult to deal with, and helps with restoration of pride and self esteem for everyone. Those who can truly share in the circle help themselves and those involved. We welcome all that come to the circle.

Sharing
To meet and discuss the struggles and achievements and difficulties we are having with our lives and how native spirituality, teachings and sharing can help.

Teachings
We do not gather to impose beliefs or influence people; we gather to learn from each other. It is by understanding Traditional teachings many problems can be resolved.

Our Role
As helpers we can also reach out into the community and provide assistance where we can to others, helping others assists in helping ourselves. For instance focussing on our role in helping the Grandmothers and Women carry their messages for the healing of Mother Earth.

Sqawbayos Healing Circle
The word Skabayos means helper. We talk about our commitment to our communities and teachings.
