Join us for a hands-on Talking Stick Workshop led by Rance Gillespie, where you’ll learn the art and significance of creating your own personal talking stick. This 3-hour immersive experience will allow you to craft a sacred tool that holds the power of communication, respect, and personal expression.
Why Make Your Own Talking Stick?
A talking stick is a powerful ceremonial tool used by various Indigenous cultures to ensure respectful and meaningful communication. The person holding the talking stick has the right to speak, while others listen intently, promoting unity, mindfulness, and mutual respect in group settings.
Creating your own talking stick allows you to:
Express your voice in a sacred and empowered way.
Foster better communication in personal, family, and community gatherings.
Enhance listening skills and cultivate mindfulness.
Connect with tradition and infuse your talking stick with personal symbols and intentions.
Workshop Highlights:
Personal Crafting: Design and create your own talking stick using natural materials provided. You’ll have the opportunity to personalize it with symbols, feathers, beads, and other meaningful decorations.
Cultural Teachings: Learn about the history and spiritual significance of talking sticks in various traditions and how they can be used for effective communication and conflict resolution.
Intention Setting: As you craft, Rance will guide you in infusing your talking stick with personal intentions, making it a unique tool for your spiritual practice, communication, or even group discussions.
Take Home Your Creation: At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a beautifully crafted talking stick that can be used in your personal practice or group settings to promote harmony, respect, and open communication.
This workshop is open to all skill levels and provides a unique opportunity to connect with the sacred art of communication while creating a meaningful, symbolic tool for everyday life.
