Eagle Dance preparations can often feel mysterious and overwhelming, so Kelly will be answering questions to help you along in your process. It is recommended that one start preparations 2-4 weeks in advance of the ceremony.We are gathering on zoom to support Eagle Dancers in making or crafting their ceremonial items for Eagle Dance.

Here is what we will cover: 

1. What is regalia and how do you create your own ceremonial costume.

2. How to make your own shamanic shield. First time Eagle Dancers will learn their circle of birth sitting place animals to create their first shield.

3. What is a forked pole and how to make one.

4. Guidelines for making turkey whistles and plumes honoring the give away of the birds. Order kits through the links.

5. Hokkshideh bundles align you with the worlds and powers of Grandmother Earth and protect your own essence when wearing. Another in person meeting will be determined according to your availability during our zoom meeting. Allow a $20 for materials for this item.

I’ll send more info when you RSVP to  Kelly@SpiritCanoeLodge.org
