Ceremony for Personal Transformation: The Medicine Wheel A participatory workshop led by Sylvia Rios Join elder and wisdom keeper Sylvia Rios for an immersive 90-minute ceremony exploring one of the most enduring symbols in Indigenous tradition: the Medicine Wheel. A circle with no beginning and no end, the Medicine Wheel is a sacred map - of the seasons, the elements, the spirit animals, and the cycles of our own lives. Participants will gather in a circle as Sylvia teaches the community to co-create a living Medicine Wheel Earth Altar using medicinal plants, stones, and earth elements, oriented to the four cardinal directions and their associated colors, seasons, and spirit animals: the Hummingbird, Eagle/Condor, Great Serpent, and Mother Jaguar. Through platicas (guided talk), journaling prompts, and a closing meditation, participants are invited to examine where they stand in their own life's cycle - in growth, creativity, relationships, and spirit - and to ask: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? This is a ceremony for anyone seeking grounding, reflection, and connection - to themselves, to each other, and to the Earth. Tickets $20 General | $15 Students & I-House Members Not recommended for children under 10 Please bring: A yoga mat or cushion for sitting in circle
