The Medicine Wheel Garden
The American Indian medicine wheel was an ancient way of creating sacred
space, and calling forth the healing energies of nature.  These are some of
the things found within some traditional medicine wheels.  There are many
medicine wheels this is just one example.  There is much to be learned
from the patience and peace of a medicine wheel.
