Dear Friends of Full Circle:
You are invited to join us in the Great Smoky Mountains for the Fall Full Circle gathering in Cherokee, NC on Sept. 26th, 27th & 28th, 2008. We'll be in a new location behind the Cherokee United Methodist Church. It is located in Cherokee on US 19/23 about a mile past the casino on the left, or on the right if you are coming over Soco Mountain from Maggie Valley. The social hall building is located behind the church. Registration will begin at 6:15 PM on Friday with Full Circle starting at 7:00 PM. We will close the circle around noon on Sunday, Sept. 26th.
The Fall Full Circle will focus on old Cherokee teachings of Green Corn Ceremony and Wolf Medicine. The traditional teachings of Wolf Medicine decrees and three of the 13-Clan Mothers teachings will be in group settings. Three inner circles will come together with activities, songs, drumming and dance in connection with Green Corn Ceremony. Our focus will be on bringing this old wisdom to light for the gifts of harmony and balance in our lives.
