A former student of renowned Tuscarora medicine men Wallace \u201cMad Bear\u201d Anderson and Ted Williams, Grandfather Mike brings a deep lineage of traditional wisdom. He is also the co-author of Iroquois Supernatural: Talking Animals and Medicine People, a book that shares stories of spirit, nature, and the sacred teachings of his people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this workshop, you will explore cosmic cycles that shape all life\u2014the moon phases, the Solstices and Equinoxes, and the great wheel of the seasons. These natural rhythms are not abstract\u2014they are instructions. They guide planting, resting, ceremony, healing, and renewal. Indigenous cultures have followed them not as a belief system, but as a lived reality. The invitation of this workshop is to learn how to practically align your own daily life with these sacred cycles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How to track the moon and use her phases for healing, intention-setting, and inner work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why the Solstices and Equinoxes matter energetically and physically\u2014within our bodies and in the land around us<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What specific sacred plants can assist us in different times of year and phases of life\u2014from calming nervous systems to amplifying spiritual connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We honor the wisdom that humans are the only life that needs constant reminders on how to stay connected\u2014because we are the only ones who often forget. The animals, the trees, the rivers\u2014they don\u2019t need to be told how to listen. But we can learn again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you are just beginning to reconnect or have walked this path for years, this workshop will leave you with tools, teachings, and a deeper felt sense of the sacred web we are all part of.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_15604b-62 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_15604b-62 .kt-divider{border-top-width:4px;border-top-color:#440062;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-8300_15604b-62\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(40% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)))minmax(0, calc(60% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}.kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id8300_7e973b-f0 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column8300_153cb5-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column8300_153cb5-af\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1.jpg 256w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GM-Hears-Crow-2022-256x256-1-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grandmother Hears Crow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Storytelling;

She is on the faculty alumni at the Transformation Storytelling School. With over 35 years of storytelling experience, she brings Indigenous oral traditions and other cultural stories to life at libraries, schools, community centers, museums, and Indigenous gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grandmother Hears Crow will be sharing some storytelling basics, how to use them with legacy or modern tales and will be telling a few stories as examples. Bring a pad of paper for taking notes and story titles if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">This will be a \u2018deep diving\u2019 look at legacy, fables and transformational tales that are more than entertaining, offering entirely different points of view. We hope this interactive workshop will help participants to become more confident and comfortable using stories for themselves and others on a path to reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_bd742a-e5 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_bd742a-e5

encoded within our bodies, present in the different energetic points of our microcosm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the medicine of cacao and a journey in our inner world, you will awaken the sense of the wholeness and resonance of this macrocosm order within our inner universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, Charlotte and Geraldine will weave their learned experiences in cultural astronomy, Mesoamerican calendars and Maya cosmovision&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">into a journey of heart coherence with the Earth Pulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><strong>Geraldine A. Patrick Encina<\/strong><\/em><\/strong>, PhD, 52,&nbsp;born from Chilean parents with parental&nbsp;Irish Scottish&nbsp;roots and maternal Mapuche roots, formed a family&nbsp;in the sacred landscape of the Otomi Peoples&nbsp;originally called&nbsp;Zanbatha, the Valley of the Moon, in the Highlands of Mexico. <br><br>As an Ethnoecologist and a Cultural Astronomer, member of the Interamerican Society of Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and founder and&nbsp;director of&nbsp;Earthtimekeepers,&nbsp;Geraldine has generated extensive knowledge&nbsp;about the astronomical, ecological, agricultural and spiritual underpinnings of ancient&nbsp;Mesoamerican&nbsp;philosophy&nbsp;on the cosmos and&nbsp;timekeeping systems. She has recovered the original&nbsp;calendars&nbsp;of the Otomi-Toltecs, Olmecs, Maya (Yucatec, K\u2019iche,&nbsp;Kaqchikel) and Mexica-Nahua.<br><br>Her Mesoamerican timekeeping theory and practice is helping indigenous peoples&nbsp;re-signify the holistic approach to life of their elders by way of honoring and&nbsp;connecting deeply with&nbsp;their ancestors\u2019 legacy. As the director of&nbsp;Earthtimekeepers&nbsp;and a member of collectives of local scholars in Mexico and Guatemala, she supports processes of&nbsp;revitalization of&nbsp;long forgotten calendars and almanacs&nbsp;with resources such as the&nbsp;<em>Calendar Converter&nbsp;Damixi<\/em>&nbsp;and illustrated children\u2019s books such as&nbsp;<em>Ja\u2019ab&nbsp;Libro&nbsp;Ilustrado<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charlotte Nieuwenhuis<\/strong> is the founder of Heart to Earth, a regenerative movement devoted to the remembrance of our kinship with Earth Mother. Over the years, she developed a deep relationship to a plant teacher, revered for its fertile and abundant nature by her original stewards: cacao. She has been walking with the Maya wisdom keepers of this plant teacher and learning alongside them. Rooted in ancestral wisdom, regenerative living, and sacred cacao, her work invites people to remember that true prosperity emerges from reciprocity, devotion, and harmony with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through ceremony, Indigenous wisdom, and immersive experiences, she guides others to reconnect with the wisdom of the Divine Mother and cultivate lives of greater vitality, purpose, and abundance. Her mission is to bridge ancient traditions with the emerging world, restoring the sacredness of life and inspiring a culture where both people and Mother Earth can flourish together.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_60cf26-48 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_60cf26-48 .kt-divider{border-top-width:4px;border-top-color:#440062;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-8300_60cf26-48\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_c312da-e0 .kt-block-spacer{height:30px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_c312da-e0 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-8300_c312da-e0\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns8300_635337-e8{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns8300_635337-e8 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns8300_635337-e8\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button{color:#000060;background:#fad504;font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-xl, 3rem);font-weight:bold;border-top-color:#fad504;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#fad504;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#fad504;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#fad504;border-left-style:solid;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button:focus{color:#fad504;background:#440062;border-top-color:#440062;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#440062;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#440062;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#440062;border-left-style:solid;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button{border-top-color:#fad504;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#fad504;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#fad504;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#fad504;border-left-style:solid;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button:focus{border-top-color:#440062;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#440062;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#440062;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#440062;border-left-style:solid;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button{border-top-color:#fad504;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#fad504;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#fad504;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#fad504;border-left-style:solid;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn8300_520737-57.kb-button:focus{border-top-color:#440062;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#440062;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#440062;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#440062;border-left-style:solid;}}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn8300_520737-57 kt-btn-size-xlarge kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/ev\/reg\/yqpce7d\/lp\/31268f56-f63e-4f04-b801-74c68349827a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">REGISTER FOR ALL WORKSHOPS<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_6c387b-fa .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-8300_6c387b-fa .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-8300_6c387b-fa\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-Elders and Youth Gathering Workshops Monday, July 27th, 2026 Sunray&#8217;s 42nd Annual Native American Elders and Youth Gathering featuring Workshops online and onsite.
