Why an agreement?
As we enter into sacred teachings, we recognize that right relationship begins with honoring the boundaries our teacher has prepared for us, in good way.

As I bring you this unique medicine path of instruction, you must understand that those outside the wheel group may not be ready for the lessons in the ways I present them. Each of you has been accepted to receive teaching for a unique reason. The wheel will only as strong as its internal relationship with the members, so we all must agree to respect and keep sacred not just the lessons we learn here, but the conversations, observations and experiences we share.
So, here are some boundaries for our membership. They are stated as agreements between you, me and the other participants. I ask that you read aloud in sacred way what is here, and to take into your heart this trusted bond between us all:
As you go through your daily life, remember that even though people you encounter (including friends, family, colleagues and aquainteances) will not know about your lessons here, you are still an ambassador for shamanic living and right relationship. Every day, in every way, strive to emit the living light within you so that all may see, through you, that Creator's love is real and ubiquitous.
It's good to come back here periodically and re-state this agreement. You'll feel it more deeply as time goes by.
Remember: the world needs us all. We are all relations, and we say it, and it's so. Aho!
So, here are some boundaries for our membership. They are stated as agreements between you, me and the other participants. I ask that you read aloud in sacred way what is here, and to take into your heart this trusted bond between us all:
- I agree to honor and respect all my relations within this wheel.
- I will keep all teachings and experiences as sacred in my heart.
- I will never post or share information, photos, media, written materials, conversations, etc.
- I will never intrude upon another member's privacy or time.
- I will never reveal the membership to anyone outside the wheel.
- I will honor and respect all property and facilities visited by leaving them better than I found them, and following a "leave no trace" practice.
- I will never bring other medicine teachings into Tracy's wheel without her specific request
- I will reach out and communicate if I am unsure about something, I will ask first. I will not assume.
- I speak only with kindness at all times concerning my teacher, my classmates and the world.
- I will honor the sacred teachings by practicing and following assigned exercises. I agree to trust that the lessons given are what I need, in the order I need them, and to give them my full attention and practice until a new lesson is presented.
- I will not compete or compare my growth with others...my healing pace is my own.
