Path of the Buffalo Medicine Wheel Teachings
A Medicine Wheel is a sacred form- some are physically on the land while others are drawn to explain a unique teaching. The Path of the Buffalo Medicine Wheel comes from the Blackfoot Piercing Sundance Society from the lineage of Morris Crow Last Tail Feathers. Pablo apprenticed under Morris Crow for 13 years before he was transferred full rights to teach this Wheel. Theses teachings are an invitation to understand and tend to your four parts (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual) and practice deep generational healing that reconnects ancestral roots, traditional family/community roles and responsibilities. The wheel offers a holistic foundation for change, enabling one to recognize what’s missing and bridges the cultural, language and/or identity gaps in our upbringing.
Options:
Introduction (90 min)
Basic teachings (half day)
Immersive Teachings (full day)
Advanced Teachings (2 days)
Some topics include:
The Buffalo Way – Facing the Storm
When things get rough most of us turn our back and run the other way. The buffalo faces the storm head-on and moves through it. He teaches us to be brave when we want to hide from our mistakes, to take ownership, not to procrastinate and to never give up.
Practising Forgiveness: The Key to Unconditional Love
Forgiveness is the bolt cutter to free yourself from the chains that hold you down called pain, anger and resentment. What is true forgivness and what are the steps to practice it for lasting freedom?
Activate Achievement: Self-care for Success
Can you look into your eyes in the mirror and say I love you? Your solid foundation in life is dependent on the way you trust yourself in your relationships and work practice. Tending to yourself in a real way allows you to show up authentically, honestly and confidently - the secret?....we need help from those who come before us.
Awareness: No Separation
In a high-speed wifi world, we are strangely disconnected. Our awareness is being hi-jacked by a tsunami of inputs fighting for our attention. Many of us feel lost and it’s no surprise. Awareness begins with where and who you come from and knowing how you arrived to where you are now. We are connected, learn how to tune in again.

Sweatlodge
An opportunity to experience a traditional Blackfoot sweatlodge ceremony. A sweat lodge is a traditional ceremony used for purification and spiritual renewal. Made from willow branches and covered with hides or blankets, our Grandfathers (rocks) are heated in the sacred fire and brought into the lodge where the sweat maker runs the ceremony and pours the water over them to create steam. Participants pray, sing, and reflect, seeking to cleanse the body and mind, connect with the spiritual world, and strengthen community bonds. The ceremony is deeply significant, emphasizing humility, respect, and harmony with nature.
Healing Circles
A ceremonial healing circle is an Indigenous practice where participants gather in a sacred circle to share, support, and heal together. It is Elder-led and emphasizes respect, active listening, and community connection, creating a safe space for emotional and spiritual healing.
