A message from Hua: 
Blessings to all. Wow - the Vision Quests last month were amazing and magical. The five questers were steady and strong. They reset their life's journeys on a clear path. Thank you to Naranaja, Erin, Shantel, Doe Star, and our Elder, Jade for the giveaway of all your prayers. And thank you to the land caretaker Nicole for that ridge line. I want to share this vision that came to us on the first day: We had just sent the questers out to plant in their circles. Blue Horse and I were alone in camp and we were looking out over the vista of the whole valley when a full rainbow arched over the entire scene. At the direct center above was an Eagle spiraling and at the direct center below were 2 vultures spiraling. We were stunned at this magnificent sight. Life above, Death below, Rainbow through the middle. Wow! We knew it was a good powerful sign of community and purpose. Would you like to show some love through a donation either in the name of a individual quester or to the group of questers? Send in checks made out to "Circles of Empowerment" with a note, or if using PayPal, add a note in the message to vendor section to indicate which quester you are honoring. Our next group will be Tobey White Heart,Stephanie Blue Horse, Janice Hawk Woman, and Trish Moon Bear. Spirit Dance is coming up quick, from June 3rd-5th. We hope you will consider this opportunity to come together in Sacred space with our families, to unite our energies, our prayers, and our intentions. It is shaping up to be a very powerful and wonderful event. It will be great to dance and pray with the brothers and sisters and especially the children. Sweetness :) * Sweat lodges will resume in June. June 25th is a Mixed family sweat. * I have an interview online with earthmedicine.org. Check it out on YouTube - there are 7 parts. * Come to the Yard Sale on May 28th, contribute and share! In closing, we are actively dreaming a new place for our center, a new home for our classes and improved ways to serve our community. Please keep your ears and eyes and prayers available for our vision of a new property to grow on. Let us know of possibilities we can pursue. I Love you, I Serve you ... Hua

CLEAN and Undeterred: Personal Cleansing Ritual
A message from Hua:
"A person may come to me feeling as though they have been psychically or energetically attacked. They may feel as though something negative has been attached, sucking their energies away. We call this feeling being shot with "dark arrows." I use sacred powerful medicines that have been passed to me through the years, to cut the ties of attachment, the energetic cables and wires which I can see attached to that person. I use special eyes and other clair-senses: guides, listening - my whole bag of tricks - to clean up what is not theirs, that which has gotten in the way, attached to where it does not belong."

Elder's Wisdom Corner:
This month find a time when you can go into nature and revel in the wonder and joy of life. ...Dance in joy with the beauty of nature you experience around you. Remember all the imaginary beings you knew as a child: the fairies, the hidden folk, the spirit beings who radiated glittering light. Dance with them in joy. This can be figuratively or physically. The key is to get the feeling of joy in your body.
~ Sandra Ingerman
