Resources

Medicine Wheel teachings are among the oldest of First Nations people and are based on the seven directions (North, East, South West, Life above the earth, life on the earth, life below the earth). They are vast and limitless and form the basis of most First Nations belief themes. For example, the natural world was created in groups of four to honour East, South, West and North. They are connected in the centre by Mother Earth's heart beat.

The Wheel's sacred teachings assist us along our healing paths, and the relationships among the teachings form the basis of what it is to be human. After all, humans are the weakest of all creation and therefore, as the world’s ‘takers’, we must be cognizant of what we take, how much we take, who we are taking it from and why we are taking it. This includes: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms.
