| Meeting the Power Animals for Children Ages: 4 to 12 Presented by: Elly "HeronSong" Keyel and Suzan "WolfDancer" McDermott-Measheaw Circle of All Paths This workshop is designed to give children, ages 4 to 12, a basic introduction to the Power Animals in their life. It allows them to explore the concept of Power Animals and their purpose in our lives in an age appropriate manner. It gives the children a glimpse into the Shamanic world throught the use of stuffed animals and posters depicting some of the more commonly recognized Power Animals. The children will explore what animals they feel connected with through play with the stuffed animals and talking about the different energies (medicines) that animals carry. Children will also be encouraged to sing their own Power Song and dance their own Sacred Dance. This is a highly interactive workshop and children enjoy it. We will also make simple rattles for the children to take home with them, and teach them how to use them to call their Power Animals. |
