Community Water Medicine Wheel led by Hyda Maria was created June 22- 24, 2017 near the entrance of the Santa Fe Botanical Garden

“…the geometric design of the Water Medicine Wheel, the crystals, and the water that is offered is key to connecting with other Water Medicine Wheels on the planet.  The Water Medicine Wheel is energized and activated thru ceremonial blessing and its connection to mother earth, father sun, and grand mother moon. To add to this offering quartz crystals, hand size stones, flowers, other medicines that are from the earth (corn meal is fine, tobacco, etc). We will do this as an artful and renewing ceremony. Traditionally Water medicine wheels link and nourish waterways to each other. This one is for the communities of Northern New Mexico and to all beings in our region who love water. If you can bring with you small hand drums and rattles to use at this event.” – Hyda Maria
