During this portion of the presentation, an overview will be provided and we will discuss the four directions, representing each of the four seasons as you pass through the sacredhoop and the potential wisdom attained as you travelthrough each stage of life. As we pass through these life cycles, we retain the knowledge and use it in our daily lives.

A question asked of the class… Where in the sacred hoop would

you place the following teachings?

This interactive presentation begins with a smudging ceremony.

Summer

Youth

Physical

Respect

Honesty

Trust

Love

Fall

Adulthood

Mental

There is really no

right or wrong answer however, the

sacred teachings would tell us that

every teaching begins with respect and would

therefore start in the east. Each teaching would progress through the sacred hoop as all of life does.
