Sacred Wisdom Circle Institute Medicine Person Certification, Spiritual Teachings & Ceremonies

The purpose & intention of Sacred Wisdom Circle Institute or SWCI, and our various Teaching programs is to allow Medicine People and Spiritual Leaders to pass on their learned Elder-knowledge to a new generation. We are creating a community of Leaders, Healers, Storytellers and those who are committed to the Sacred Red Road, as well as proving Healing Ceremonies & other events for members of the NAC communities.

The Native American Churches were founded on collective, earth-based values and wisdom, and is both non-denominational and global in purpose. Indigenous ceremonies create an experiential environment, supportive of remembering our Spiritual focus and wholeness, and provide a transformational experience which allows us to heal addictions and dysfunctional behaviors. The NAC is dedicated to providing these ceremonies to all who seek them.

The Elders of SWCI grew up immersed in many different cultural traditions and spiritual practices. The Elders who formed SWCI saw the importance of all of these teachings and practices and in line with the Hopi prophecy and other teachings have chosen to take what is best from all of these teachings. Our program is a combination of the Lakota Sioux, Seminole and other Indigenous American Native Religious Traditions, as well as earth-based healing practices and empowering spiritual traditions which together form a powerful, non-dogmatic, and well-rounded, holistic program.

Providing such diverse teachings assures we have something that resonates with everyone and assures that those who complete our program have a full tool belt of resources to all on when serving the community as Healers, Shamans, Spiritual Leaders and/or Medicine People, both within and outside of the NAC community.

My experience with SWCI has been nothing less than amazing and life-changing. I recently just got back from our Winter circle in Tennessee where we worked with several plant medicines…I’ve never had so much clarity and cleansing like I do since the ceremony took place – Master Recharge. The Medicine People who intricately organized this Circle knew exactly what they were doing! Yes, it was exhausting, and yes there were times when I asked “how the hell am I going to make it thru this?!” However, it was so worth it in the end. This crash course of Medicine Ceremony Teachings in this format is intense…I am so happy that I got to experience all of these ceremonies in this good way. I would definitely be apart of another teaching like this. More ceremonies in this format will change and heal so many of our brothers & sisters that are suffering!

I like that the event is a wonderful combination of traditional Native American wisdom and non-traditional mind-body-spirit approach. It pushes me outside the box and allows me to see how healing and growth can be done through many different perspectives. The event was very well-organized and we were given great tools (the 13th moon program) to prepare for the sacred circle and quest, which is extremely helpful. The facilitators and teachers are excellent. I am very grateful learning from such a group of awakened masters with pure hearts.
