The Reenchant Planet Earth Newsletter "Thee Talking Stick"
A Talking Stick is a tool used in Native American traditions and is a form of communication and connection. . A talking stick allows members to present their sacred point of view while other members listen with respect. Indian children are taught to listen from age three forward; they are also taught to respect another's viewpoint. This is not to say that they may not disagree, but rather they are bound by their personal honor to allow everyone their Sacred Point of View. Whoever holds the talking stick has within their hands the sacred power of words.
"As in the ancient circles of elders, each Council member comes to know they bring a piece of the truth to the circle - essential in itself, but only a part of the whole. The passion of our personal vision is shared without attachment, and then our position is released to the larger truth of the circle." [1]
In keeping with the tradition of a talking stick our newsletter “Thee Talking Stick” will contain information, personal stories of triumph, and action taken that supports the empowerment of all people and can be passed on and on through your hands.
Please send us your talking stick magical moments and stories and let us share them with the world as we pass them on.

The Reenchant Planet Earth Community's "Talking Stick"
About 7 years ago a group of our friends and family dedicated to reenchanting the planet earth came together and created the above Stick which measures about 5 ½ feet tall. It is a big stick but we needed a big stick because of all the people involved. Most sticks don’t have to be quite this big. Maybe a foot! This stick carry’s the energy of many people and at the top of it embedded in the stick is a natural heart.
