Let’s Make A Dream Catcher…

Share In A Day of Learning The History And
Application While You Make Your Own Dream Catcher

Marlita (Rainbow Buffalo) will lead us in this workshop of making your own contemporary dream catcher while hearing the story of how the dreamcatcher came about.

You will use your vision, energy and creativity to make your own dream catcher and decorate it the way you desire, while learning the history, legend and application of this sacred medicine.

Due to the time of year, all materials will be available.

However, if you have special beads, feathers, animal hide or hair with which you wish to decorate your dream catcher, bring them.

If you choose to gather willow or grapevine from Nature, gather it in a Sacred Way. Address and give thanks to each direction - The Creator, Mother Earth, the East, the South, the West and the North. Give a tobacco and Cornmeal offering to the plant, and now you can cut your branch..

There will be an optional Pipe Ceremony for workshop participants before the workshop.

It is tradition to gift the Pipe Carrier with tobacco, sweetgrass, cornmeal, beads or some token of thanks and respect wrapped in red cloth. (money is unacceptable)

The Ceremony begins promptly at noon.

The workshop begins at 1 p.m.
