SWCI Programs
13th Moon
The Thirteenth Moon is a multi-year program appropriate for everyone and is an immersion into the profound ideology of ancient Indigenous wisdom. These Teachings will support you to confidently step into your authentic self and bring forth your own unique medicine. This is the initiatory step that will fully prepare you to participate in Ceremony and Sacred Wisdom Circles.
Sacred Wisdom Circles
Sacred Wisdom Circles provide you with a guided, transformational, lived learning experience. These nine-day ceremonial intensives are the in-person complement to the 13th Moon online training. Guided by experienced Elders in a group setting, you will learn in Ceremony to expand upon what you learned in the 13th Moon Teachings.
Vision Quest
Going on a vision quest is profound and often life-changing. If you feel ready to explore a process that can bring you face-to-face with your power, purpose, and deepest truths, we invite you to Vision Quest. After four days and nights alone in the wilderness without food and water you will experience true gratitude for life and all the fits given to us so freely. These nine-day events will prepare you to Vision Quest and support your integration afterward. We encourage you to complete one year of the 13th Moon or the Vision Quest Preparation Guide before you attend Vision Quest.

About Us
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 providing Healing Ceremonies & other events for members of earth-based spiritual communities.
The Earth-based Spiritual 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 earth-based spiritual churches are 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 Sacred Teachings of First Nations Elders from around the world 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 earth-based spirituality community.

TESTIMONIALS
Hayleé White, Medicine Person Trainee
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!
July 2017 Vision Quest Attendee
IÂ 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.
