THE POWER OF THE CIRCLES ~ Dave Chief, Oglala Lakota Photo: Dimitrios Toumbos Sacred Circle at The Global Elders Gathering, Yarrabah, QLD The Circle has healing power. In the Circle, we are all equal. When in the Circle, no one is in front of you. No one is behind you. No one is above you. No one is below you. The Sacred Circle is designed to Create Unity. The Hoop of Life is also a Circle. On this hoop there is a place for every species, every race, every tree and every plant. It is this completeness of Life that must be respected in order to bring about health on this planet. 3
