Voices of Wisdom Southeast
In partnership with the Sacred Fire Greensboro, NC, community, we are pleased to announce a very special Voices of Wisdom featuring two well-respected women Elders, Pahan Pte San Win (Lakota, Cree & Metis) and Kahontakwas, Diane Longboat (Mohawk).
For thousands of years, humans have gathered together around the fire for light, warmth and connection. Voices of Wisdom, an offering of the international Sacred Fire Foundation, provides an opportunity to gather together around a sacred fire, to sit with and learn from Indigenous elders and wisdom keepers. In partnership with the Sacred Fire Greensboro community, we are pleased to announce a very special Voices of Wisdom featuring two well-respected women elders, Pahan Pte San Win (Lakota, Cree & Metis) and Kahontakwas, Diane Longboat (Mohawk).
These elders will speak to time-tested wisdom that has been passed down and refined through the generations, and which they have each embodied through their own work and experience in the world. While this Voices of Wisdom will focus on how we can help and be helped through the troubled times we live in, your sincere questions and expressed concerns will guide the conversation.
Our venue is Deer Thicket Sanctuary, located on 60 acres of mixed forest and field in the central North Carolina Piedmont foothills. We will gather around the fire in our Fire Pavilion, which the local Sacred Fire community participated in constructing. From the beginning, the Land here has presented itself as a place for community to gather, to share, to connect with the natural world and each other.
The program with Pahan and Diane will take place Saturday October 5, late morning to early evening. Then, on Sunday evening, October 6, attendees will be invited to come around the fire once again, in order to share what resonated for them, and explore how to move with, the teachings offered by the elders. This session will be facilitated by Shine and Christine Staub, initiated Firekeepers serving the Greensboro Sacred Fire community.
