What You Receive

When you enroll in Walking the Sacred Wheel, you will receive an introductory lesson, an extensive glossary of terms and the first 4 lessons that correspond to the moon month of the season in which you sign up. Each lesson is to be completed on a weekly basis. You read the lesson, do the devotional practices daily, construct your ceremonial object(s) for the month, and complete the study guides which accompany each lesson. The purpose of the study guides is not to test one's memory, for the text is not to be memorized, but to ground the energies of the work. A reorder form is at the end of the first lesson in each set of lessons. That reorder form should be returned, along with the lesson fee, to the Institute so that you will receive your next set of lessons on time. It is important to maintain a continuous cycle of study in order that the progressive energy of the work is not interrupted. You also have the option of having your lessons sent to you automatically each month. Fill in the authorization space on the enrollment application if you prefer this option.

Optional Quarterly Intensives

At the conclusion of the quarterly seasonal cycles, an optional weekend intensive of personal sharing, ceremony and in-depth learning is offered at ceremonial lands on beautiful Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound of Washington State. Weekend intensives can also be arranged to take place in the area in which you live. The weekends provide an opportunity for you to sit in Council and ceremonial space, an opportunity to experience and facilitate the seasonal rituals, and time for deeper relationship with the power of the elements of the cardinal directions. In the Spring Intensive (the direction of the East) for example, you will experience a purification sweat and be taught the fundamentals of purification facilitation. You will work with the false-self masks, love flutes, and other East elements that give you direct experience with the powers of that direction.

Optional Certification

Sacred Circles Institute offers teaching certification if you wish to continue training into a second year of guide work. To receive credits it is necessary for you to send your completed Study Guides to the Institute at the end of each quarter. You will also be assigned a counselor and given times when the counselor may be contacted by phone for help with any questions or concerns you may encounter. Another purpose the counselor serves is that of a focal center whereby energy from the Institute is cycled to and from the student as s/he completes the study and growth process. You may also send letters to your counselor in care of the Institute. Certification requires attendance at a minimum of 4 weekend intensives during the 2 year completion time. For additional information regarding teaching certification, check the certification space on the enrollment application.
