SPECIAL EVENTS, CLASSES AND PROGRAMSThe Flowering Tree Lodge Debbie Mast is co-leader of the Flowering Tree Lodge in Michigan and the founder of the Women’s Hoop, a ceremonial group for women, now in its sixteenth year. Her work is inspired by her vision of women and men working together to re-create the world. The Flowering Tree Lodge is a teaching lodge of The Sweet Medicine Sun Dance tradition. This tradition was founded in 1250 B.C. by medicine women and men from tribes across the Americas. Calling themselves Twisted Hairs, they braided together knowledge that works from every direction on the Wheel of Life. Over time they developed tremendous amounts of knowledge about energy, ceremonial alchemy, healing techniques, communication with nature and controlled dreaming. The Twisted Hairs opened their teachings to non-natives in the 1970’s. The local Sweet Medicine community gathers to learn and share together, as they reach for their highest potential. This group meets at our building several times throughout the year. Extensive information, including fees and charges, introductory meetings and associated study groups is available at www.floweringtreelodge.net. People interested in learning more about the Sweet Medicine tradition are invited to come to monthly open houses held March-September. These include a sweat lodge ceremony. Pre-registration is required. Contact Debbie Mast (248) 414-5376, for details.
