Talking Stick Foundation
"fostering a culture of living connectivity through the sacred art of circle work"

about
Talking Stick Foundation, is a not for profit enterprise, established by a circle of women deeply listening to the initiatic invitation to ‘understand the consciousness of medicine’.
Over 30 years of practice has revealed the effect and healing of the emergence of living medicine, through the sacred art of circlework and the lived understanding of the consciousness of life as nature.
Living medicine is the cutting edge doorway to emergent beingness for caring for children, the individuation of dynamic adolescence and the development of an adult human to participate in life through spiritual lore.
