Notes from the Healing Wheel The white sculpture of Mother Teresa perched on the medicine wheel all week long at every Seven Day Intensive until 1996. After the Gibbous Seven Day five years ago, Buz handed the bust of Mother Teresa to Jayma Delaney and asked her to envision and co-create a Healing Wheel for the community. One thought in the early days
was that each person on the Healing Wheel could represent one of the eight
lunar phases. That idea was quickly discarded because soon there were
twelve and then sixteen people serving on the wheel. Every day of the year these
people pray and send healing to all the various wheels of the community
and to those community members, families or friends who ask for specific
healing or prayer. During each Seven Day, the Healing Wheel offers Morning
Light Calls daily and channels healing for participants as needed. The
wheel also offers and care takes an altar, a quiet space to pray and meditate
for those attending. This year a new book comprised of many prayers will
be available in that area for those who wish to find a new prayer or thought.
Kathryn Wishlow and Claudia Reilly have lovingly created this book for
the community. Of course, the statue of Mother Teresa graces the altar, not because of any religious persuasion, but because her statue was the focal point for the beginning of the Healing Wheel. Yet perhaps an Albanian woman who paid homage to the Roman Catholic Pope while working in the largest Hindu country on Mother Earth does represent the wonderful, eclectic spiritual nature of this community. The newest persons to walk
the Healing Wheel celebrate their first anniversary during this next Seven
Day in October. They are Pat Beers of Ohio, Rita Shultz and Sally Smith
of Virginia, Mavin Ambrose and Janet Brown of New York. We welcome you
and thank you for your loving, grace filled service this year. This is my last report to the On Time Community Newsletter as I have resigned as Facilitator for the Healing Wheel so that others may serve. I have enjoyed serving on the Healing Wheel, have grown and been inspired as you shared your growth and miracles throughout the years. I know the next person or persons to lovingly serve will continue to co-create an ever growing Healing Wheel as the wheel turns once again. With love and great clear light, |
