The Power of Ceremony
“The power of our ceremonies is perpetuated by discipline and our integrity. Ceremonies come to us, from the spirit, with instructions to maintain that doctoring, curing and healing power. It's up to us as humans to follow those instructions to be able to receive the blessings as they have intended. I try my best to follow the guidance of the spirit and our elders to keep that power and purity so our children and their children, for seven generations and more, can also receive the blessings through our ceremonies to live life in a good way.”

October 19, 2004
Michael Twofeathers is of mixed-blood ancestry, with the main traditional teachings and influences from his Lakota heritage. In 1994, Michael began sharing some of these teachings in Europe at the recommendation of his mentor, Martin High Bear (a Lakota medicine man from Cheyenne River, SD). He and his wife Wohpe have been invited to share teachings at spiritual and cultural gatherings in Europe and other countries, as well as here on Turtle Island.
In 2004 they established Wichozanni Village as a non-profit organization in California. Wichozanni Village is dedicated to the Sacred Circle as a place to find harmony through prayer, through education and through the practice of Living in Health of the Mind, Body & Spirit.
