Thank you for your acceptance. We have people here of every religious background and none. This sangha is not so much about religion as it is about the spiritual life. I consider myself a shaman in the general sense in that I walk my own path and follow my internal guide, my spiritual guru. There is beauty in all religions/traditions, and I use and teach whatever I find most useful from any tradition. Your blessing sounds like it might be from a native American tradition... is that so? I have Iroquois ancestors, though I'm mostly general European mutt. ) I learned something of the Navajo way from Tony Hillerman's books... I find the concept/practice of walking in hozro (beauty, harmony, balance) beautiful and meaningful in my life. Whatever your background, you are welcome in this sangha. Walk in beauty.
