The photo is of a sacred fire done after we completed the Inka Medicine Wheel training.  Below is a description from our teacher of the first session (there are four sessions in one year as part of the Four Winds Society training program).

I find that this work is compatible with any other path one might be pursuing; it has put me on a whole new footing upon our Mother Earth. I continue to grow in this relationship that deeply feeds my soul.

The medicine wheel journey begins with the South session. It is a three-day group training intensive which initiates the process of healing and activation of an individual’s energy field, by working with the gentle healing energies of Mother Earth. We learn the basics of shedding attachment to the past by examining our perceptions. Working at the level of our core energy field, we learn how to release stories and scripts that program us for repeated failure and suffering. During this session, a participant starts his or her personal medicine bundle, called a mesa, which receives the Mesa Blessing rites in ceremony.
