Buffalo Spirit Lodge  Prescott, Arizona

 Join animal communication founding pioneer, Penelope Smith, and her animal family for this full moon healing circle celebration.

6:30 PM Gather at Buffalo Spirit Lodge (Penelope's home) before sunset for a brief introductory talk by Penelope before we enter the circle; 7:00 PM The circle begins outdoors in our Spirit Power Circle. We call our guiding spirits and animal powers from all the directions, drumming, rattling, dancing, and chanting together to set the tone, heightening our energy for the arrival of the Elder Spirits. We bask in their palpable presence, hear their songs, music, and stories through Penelope, within and all around us, and feel the transformational healing power as the full moon rises.Group chanting/singing, drumming and sharing of experiences close the circle; 8:30 PM (approximately) Socializing and potluck sharing. 

In this age of evolution from dualistic to unified consciousness, we are summoned to nurture the Earth and heal our deepest sense of separation borne through lifetimes of travel in this physical realm. Our wise ancestor spirits, the Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers, united with the Cetacean Council (dolphins & whales) and Planetary Guides conduct us deeper into our true source of divine power within. Since Penelope was initiated into the circle of the Ancient Grandmothers, she has worked with these powerful, compassionate, loving, and delightful elder spirits for guidance and healing. The Ancient Grandfathers help hold the circle of energy and conduct the wisdom and healing power of the Ancient Grandmothers. These authentic shamanic root circles have deeply touched many souls and places wherever they have been held around the world.     

Enjoy the peaceful, magical Ponderosa National Forest setting, surrounded by the Ancient Ones in tree, rock, and sky. You are welcome to bring sacred objects to add to and gather the circle’s healing power, plus a drum, rattle, or other musical instrument. Chairs are provided, but please bring a folding chair, if you have one, to ensure we have enough seating in the circle. (Optional) Bring a blanket or pillow for individualized comfort, and a potluck snack or drink to share. Those with physical limitations that do not permit movement around the circle for the beginning and ending of the ceremony are welcome to sit in the circle during the dance portions. There will be a few shamanic drums available to buy after the celebration
