Healing the Whole—Reflections on the Themes for Oracle 2002

Given the turmoil occurring around the globe, our intention when we come to Oracle in April 2002, is to serve as conduits for healing on behalf of the Whole.

The images of Hoop, Tree and Web have been used for ages by many different peoples around the world. Each of these concepts carries its own deep and sacred meaning translated by respective spiritual and cultural traditions.

On these pages we invite participants to share their stories, journeys, associations and connections to these concepts. In this way, we can enrich our individual and collective awareness and infuse our ceremonial themes with power and significance. The more we can add to these pages before Oracle, the greater will be the intention we bring to Oracle - it is a way for individuals and Circles to make preparation and allow “intention” to begin developing in our hearts, our journeys, our mindful preparations. It is also a way to Send Word and Prayers to the Spirits who will be guiding us in our preparations and when we are gathered as a Village. Likewise some of these themes may influence the offerings that individuals may wish to bring to the Village.

Please send all materials, including photos, to Lanz Lowen at LrLion@aol.com or to Carol Proudfoot-Edgar at carolproudfoot@shamanicvisions.com.

Three themes have occurred repeatedly in our journeys:

The Hoop of Relations needs mending

The Tree of Life needs nourishing

The Web that Holds The Whole needs strengthening
