KEYNOTE SPEAKER - James Beard In the way of our forefathers..........How do they remember all that? James Beard will introduce the experience of learning from oral teachings. You will hear about legends, songs, nature, medicine, circles, spirit and ceremony. Native teachings show the way to learn from within and provide lessons given through balance. For many years James Beard has followed a path in life given by elders of the Ojibwe Nation of Indians in Canada and the mid-western United States. The knowledge that is passed on to him is given through oral teachings from elders of the Ojibwe people. The elders that teach in this manner are the traditional people. Jim expresses a unique experience of learning; the gift of learning from the heart.
10:15am to 11:30am - James Beard, Presenter Medicine Wheel – A Traditional Record of Life TeachingsThe medicine wheel is a lifetime teacher’s aid. Correctly used, it helps commit to memory the oral teachings of people with a constant reference guide that is located everywhere. The medicine wheel is an excellent tool for building behavioral concepts. Teachings to do with medicine wheel are demonstrated and discussed. The work shop includes a slide presentation to show the history, make up, purpose and teachings within the medicine wheel. Learn how to make a medicine wheel and have a working outline of how it works. The program is based on Native American Teachings, “Eagle Man” by Ed McGaa and “Black Elk Speaks” by Nicholas Black Elk as told through John G. Neihardt.
1:00pm to 2:45pm - James Beard, Presenter Animal Talk – Understanding nature and what it can tell youThe animal kingdom has much to teach at many levels. Animals do things for a reason in the wild and they offer many messages. Their language can tell you the condition of our land, the dangers that are present or be a sign to the heart for new direction. The program is a demonstration of interpreting animal behavior on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Animal talk encourages the use of self identification with animals to build personal values and self esteem. The work shop includes a slide presentation of various animals and the teachings understood of each animal. The program is based on Native American Indian Teachings, “Animal Speaks” by Ted Andrews and “Tracker” by Tom Brown Jr.
