About the Wheel
Reflect deeply. Live fully.
The Medicine Wheel is a framework for understanding life as a whole, recognizing that well-being comes from bringing different aspects of ourselves into balance.
The key concept we are exploring together are Gatekeepers: an old pattern that once helped you feel safe, loved or in control, and may now be standing at the threshold of what's next. The wheel won't tell you what yours is. It only asks questions.

A note on the Medicine Wheel
Medicine Wheel traditions vary significantly among Indigenous nations and communities, including in their colors, directions, teachings and meaning. There is no single universal version.
This app uses a contemporary reflective framework inspired by the broad idea of four directions and holistic balance. It does not present itself as an authoritative representation of any specific Indigenous tradition, and we encourage learning about these teachings directly from the communities who hold them.
Gratitude
With gratitude for my teacher, Kedar Brown, who runs the Rites of Passage Council. This is where I learned, trained, and deepened my knowledge of the Medicine Wheel, and deepened my relationship with the elements.
Thank you to his teachings, to his teachers, and to his teachers' teachers.
