As a Circle, we have the following vision:

Vision for Year
We envision our circle doing the following activities in 2008:

• We will facilitate the following events:
A public ceremony for gay men during Gay Pride Month
A wild hunt in the fall or winter for circle members
A winter solstice ceremony for circle members
A workshop on Soul Retrieval for the circle’s ongoing training
and for other gay men.

• We increase content on the website so that light shines through it.
• We will hold open circles at the LGBT Center for gay men every other month.
• We will incorporate into our regular circles ways of empowering
and vitalizing the gay community.
• We will begin to gather journeys and techniques into a book and website form.
• We will have a shamanic party that gay men can attend
who are interested in or have questions about shamanism.
• We will gather on the land to be together without an agenda.
• We will incorporate song into our regular gatherings.

Three to Five-Year Vision
By the years 2010-2012, we envision our circle in the following way:

• We share our shamanic gifts with others through different activities, such as workshops, ceremonies and regular healing circles for the community.
• People are re-examining ideas of being gay and two-spirit in a different and more positive way as a result of our work.
• Our circle has 15-20 gay men, generationally, ethnically, and racially diverse
• Many people in the gay community know about our circle and many people come to us for assistance.
• We have a retreat home.
• We have a scholarship fund for shamanic workshops.
