Thunder Lodge is the Brothers Lodge in the Circles of Empowerment
As always, we wish to acknowledge the strong and generous leadership that has carried this Lodge from one year to the next as well as the participation from our community Brothers who offer a great deal of service, both seen and unseen.
This constant commitment and evolution towards refinement and cultivating our practice has led us to the current leadership held by our beloved Grandfather and Clan Father. Additionally, our local leadership has been cultivated and these elders are passing on their teachings in a good way to these men.
This Lodge has historically, primarily been in a balancing energetic and ceremonial service to the annual women’s Long Dance ceremony in the fall, although the men regularly connect throughout the year in various other ceremony as well as through their volunteerism.
During the annual Long Dance, all Brothers, regardless of experience, are invited to the purification ceremony, the Inipi sweat lodge and all community events throughout Village Building as well as Take Down on Sunday morning after Long Dance. Our monthly planning meetings are open to all Lodges and are intended to cover the questions and preparations of the Lodge itself.
If Thunder Lodge appeals to you, please contact Greg “Hawk” Palmer at info@circlesofempowerment.org and we can fill you in on opportunities, resources and connections.
