Wolf Medicine
An Initiation
August 20-22, 2004
Herb “White Horse” Stevenson
 Indigenous cultures refer to medicine as the essence of the person, place
or thing. In our terms it is the
essence of being a spiritual, physical, mental and emotional being. Wolf
medicine is about the essence of
wolf spirit. Wolves are very ritualistic—in as many ways as humans.
They live by carefully defined rules.
There are specific territories that are sacred. Their social behavior
is based upon a hierarchical structure.
Each has its place and function within it.
The wolf teaches you to know who you are and to develop strength, confidence,
and surety so that you do
not have to demonstrate and prove yourself to all. Wolves have a complex
communication system, using
body language. If you have difficulty conveying your moods and ideas
to others, wolf will teach you how to
empower your verbal communications with appropriate body language.
Every member of the pack knows its position in relationship to everyone
else within that pack. The
ritualistic behaviors that establish the wolf ranks are part of its magic.
Wolf packs are not entirely
autocratic. Neither are they democratic. There are times when both occur,
and it is this flexibility which
adds to the success of wolf government. Wolf can teach the lesson of
proper governorship—a balance
between authority and democracy. Wolf can teach you how to use ritual
to establish order and harmony
within your own life. Wolf helps us to understand that true freedom requires
discipline.
Wolf Medicine Workshop
 The Wolf Medicine workshop is an initiation—a birthing process
to more fully be who you are within the
world. The focus is to discover the innate healing presence within yourself
that have not been allowed to be
seen or heard, let alone to mature as part of who you are. We will nurture
those parts so as to begin to
create a more centered and balanced life. Our intent is to create the
sacred space that will enable you to
fully birth who you are, shedding the parts that no longer serve the
fullness of your presence. Each person
will be given the opportunity to be initiated into the wolf medicine.

"One White Horse Standing is unique from
the many teachers I have
encountered on this healing path. He gives his full heart in his work.
This is
most apparent in his efforts to meet the individual where they are
at and fully
support them as they move along the road, both through struggles and
triumphs."
