Dear Ones,

    We will have an Open SiSiWiss Medicine Circle and Pachelth ( Give away) Ceremony on the second Saturday of August, Saturday the 9th! Open circle translates as open to all, women, men, youth, children, everybody. All are welcome even if you have not ever  attended a SiSiWiss medicine circle and or pachelth ceremony. The second Saturday Medicine Circle has had the intention to have a healing ceremony with the medicine circle. We will have a lighting and brushing ceremony after the pachelth if people want to stay to support that.

 The medicine circle and pachelth will include feasting, songs and prayers . Please know you will be guided through each part of the circle/ ceremonies/pachelth. The Pachelth is being hosted by SiSwinKlae to show gratitude to those who helped so much through a recent move and my needs through surgery. It would be such an honor for all of those who helped in all ways to attend this ceremony!  All persons welcomed, it would be such an honor for all to attend to help in witnessing the honoring! Everyone brings good medicine to the ceremonies. It is part of the tradition to have tela($) to share with witnesses to the ceremony, the donations to the hall, and a coin toss. Tela (money) can be any amount from your heart. If you don't know what all of this means, no worries, we will bring out those teachings at the ceremony.
