Indigenous Peoples have used the Medicine Wheel as a life guide since time immemorial.

The wheel is often used as a tool for learning, contemplating, and understanding one’s personal journey towards holistic wellbeing and balancing the Physical, Mental, Social, Spiritual self. Lorelei will lead you examining each quadrant, where the strengths are and where some goal setting could be implemented.
