MEDICINE WHEEL AND
INNER SHIELD WORK

An ancient map for healing, resilience and transformation

The Medicine Wheel, found in many cultures around the world, has long been used for health and healing. Based on the four cardinal directions (East, South, West, North), the Medicine Wheel is a sacred circle that symbolizes movement and wholeness. This ancient wisdom gives us a map for our healing. Each direction offers ways to come into wholeness by revealing what is in balance in our lives and what is not in balance.

  • If you are looking for a new perspective (indigenous wisdom) on how to balance the four states of your wellbeing (spiritual, physical, emotional and mental wellness and wellbeing) and want assistance identifying yourself in times of imbalance and learn how to use tools to care for yourself.

    • This offering is available both in person and virtually for individuals or groups

How do we balance our shields?

Inner Shield Work will allow us to take a deeper dive into the function and role of each shield and its qualities: both light and shadow, the “psychology” that is present in each shield, and how to identify and address what we need to repair.

Testimonial

Niccole offers up her teachings of this medicine in a way that made me feel safe, listened to and honored, no matter what my problems seemed to be. The medicine itself is reflective of the natural rhythms of our planet and therefore exploration through it felt organic and natural. Working with Niccole was such a gift. She truly helped me come back to myself.

  • East Shield

    The Shield of Duality. Our Death and Birth. Like the Eagle, we discover how we can widen our wings and vision to enhance new growth. We will contemplate ways to embrace the wisdom oft he elder and how elders can help repair the fragmented connections between generations through renewing their vitality, creativity, and vision.

  • South Shield

    Coyotes are medicine for our times. In this teaching, we turn to “play” in order to find our “funny” in the mundane. As children, we were curious and held a sense of wonder. We experimented with our senses to learn about our world. How can we renew the sense of joy and play as adults? Where do we need to soften? How is laughing and smiling a radical act?

  • West Shield

    The West Shield reflects the “Dark Night of the Soul.” It asks, how do we make meaning from obstacles? In this session, we will follow the Grizzly Bear inward and take a deep dive into the ocean and waters of our vulnerabilities and challenges. We will examine either accepting the status quo or searching the interior for our authentic self. As we weigh our choices, we determine what we need to shed and let go of in order to encourage genuine sustainability for ourselves, our communities, and our planet.

  • North Shield

    White Buffalo teaches us how to stand up for our communities through true service. This shield is where we firmly stand in the place of authentic adulting. We will explore what our gifts are and how we share our gifts with our communities. We will find that when we honor our mission and purpose, we ignite truthful and inspiring service work, birthed from the voice of our soul.
