Just sharing some info with everyone, it seems like Soul Source, a suburban nuage group, is now appropriating Ojibwe women's ceremonies, besides the fact they are still sponsoring Lakota sweat lodges, pipe ceremonies and drum circles by Pastor Tim McIntosh for a fee. They also had Rocky King, Oneida, there doing a Oneida Bear Medicine Healing Circle, in which they charge $35.
This seems like a group that needs to be stopped, or exposed in the least.
Below I included their posts. Let me know what you think?
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Soul-Source/164622083553063Tomorrow night, from 7-9PM, we will be holding a New Moon Circle at The Soul Source. We will be doing some drumming, sharing, connecting and crafting of Horse medicine bundles to help carry our wishes and intentions for the next month. We still have room, if you are interested in attending.
https://www.facebook.com/events/648650685195550/Based upon feedback from Soul Source participants and my own need to incorporate sacred rituals into my life, I am calling into power this gathering of women during the time of the New Moon. I intend for this to be a night of Sharing, Connecting, and Honoring our power and purpose as mothers, daughters, lovers, sisters, friends and leaders in this community and world.
I have been dreaming, reading and talking about horses a lot lately, so I thought we could use Horse Medicine and Energy to kick off this gathering of Wild and Wonderful women. Bring a drum, rattle or any other type of music making instrument, your voice, a journal and pen and an open heart and mind. Also, bring the following materials to make a little medicine bundle to help you embody and use the medicine of the horse this month:
• A Red Jasper or Tiger's Eye Crystal for Power & Protection
• A Small Shell to hold your grief
• A Sturdy/Strong Piece of Cloth or Leather For Your Bundle
• A Long Piece of Tie/Rope/String To Tie Your Bundle
• A Sprig of Sage
We will be drumming and chanting, discussing, journaling, creating and sharing so we can release pain, claim our power and visualize ourselves being strong and free.
Cost to participate: Suggested minimum donation of $10-25.00 (based upon ability to pay).
https://www.facebook.com/events/1452087111676411/?source=Dennis King, carrier of the Bear Medicine from the Bear Clan of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, is coming back to The Soul Source to lead another powerful Healing Ceremony.
The Creator sends out spirits to help Dennis help others. Dennis comes from a lineage of healers; his Great Grandfather and Great Uncle were healers. And now, he continues their legacy! Come, hear his story, partake in this group healing and learn more about Native American wisdom and the path of the Shaman.
You will have the opportunity to hear and feel the Bear breathing and growling, sense the strength of the Bear and the medicine that this totem animal has to share expanding as true healing power surrounds you in this amazing group experience.
Dennis will also be sharing his experience with and knowledge of the purpose of conducting Fire and Water Ceremonies and how they can help you move through challenges and obstacles in your life.
Monetary exchange for this powerful service is $35.00. If you bring a friend, save $5.00!
https://www.facebook.com/events/444696762297920/?source=1 Join Tim Dancing Red Hawk in this sacred circle of intention and support. Bring a drum, rattle, shaker or any other percussive instrument, if you have them. If you don't have anything, bring an open heart and willingness to share. Tim will bring the large Pow Wow drum and individuals will have an opportunity to play in the group as we sing songs and drum together. Part of the experience will also include offering prayers, listening to Cherokee Teachings and wisdom, and then Tim will provide healings/blessings to all who need it.
The pipe ceremony for Native American peoples is a sacred ritual for connecting the physical and spiritual worlds. Many believe that the ceremonial pipe is a link between the earth and the sky--the pipe embodies our prayers and intentions and the smoke, blown in each of the directions, becomes our spiritual connection to the creator and our spirit teachers/guides--a direct communication.
Tim is an Ordained Pastor and a nationally recognized Spiritual Leader and a teacher of Cherokee Medicine. To honor Tim and the teachings and healings he gives at these gatherings, bring a gift (tobacco, sage, a shaman stone, etc...) to offer. You are also encouraged to make a free will offering to The Soul Source so we may continue to host these important gatherings, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
