The Sacred Medicine Wheel and Nature Connection: An Apprenticeship
The Sacred Medicine Wheel maps the original Creational story and is a framework and foundation for All life. Working consciously within this map as a framework restores balance and harmony, within both your own live and all layers of existence right back to the Cosmic Womb, the origins of the One Heart. And the best place to see all this interaction is within nature ~ the Wild World.
Each of the Directions, or Gates, represents either an element : Fire, Water, Earth, Air, or a polarity: Above - Divine Masculine and Below - Divine Feminine - until finally we reach the Centre - our Heart space, where the voice of our Soul can be heard … the Waves ebb and flow from our core to our edges and back again. Each Gate corresponds to a season, a time of day, a stage of life and so much more.
Learning to tune into the Elemental wisdom underpinning the fabric of your everyday life. Immersing yourself in the movement of each element deepens your connection to the Earths Dreaming.
By learning to work with the Sacred Medicine Wheel you find a foundational structure to intuitively restore balance and harmony in your life. One that can align you with calling in a new Vision for yourself.
About my Work
Supporting the Foundationing of the Sacred Medicine Wheel
This work will help you to trace the energetics of each Gateway and contain them.
It is no surprise that Grandmother Spider is Guardian and Co-creator of my Sacred Medicine Wheel body of work. For both she and her web represent the Medicine Wheel. She shows you the map of life from many, many different perspectives. And how to cut away, release and unravel and reweave.
Grandmother Spider is a weaver of Worlds and words. She influences all my work through the vibrations of our co-creative weave, harnessing the waves that reach us through the Cosmos.
With deeper knowing of the elements and the polarities from working with the flow of their relationships, restores balance and harmony. We see how they correspond with our spiritual, emotional, physical and psychological needs, bringing new, empowering perspectives and an inner map decoding the Universes language.
The catalytic crucibles I hold use the Sacred Medicine Wheel as a foundational guide for a sacred journey of remembering and tuning into the inner compass of your own innate wisdom.
This work will help you to trace them and contain them, while exploring the multi-dimensional, multi-directional aspects of your beingness in the rich humous of your life that’s ripe for cultivation.
In these places thrive hidden treasures, the roots and wings. that create an opening up to the inner knowing, by connecting to the innate ~ all the way to the ancestral star wisdom from the cellular …. and back again.
The best place to see all this interaction is within nature ~ the Wild World ... I often say that my main spiritual channel is the World.
Apprenticeship to the Dreaming Earth
Combining channeled powerful guided shamanic journey's, experiential and meditative nature connection exercises that deepen your inner understanding of each Gateway and their initiatory correspondences. I facilitate and mentor your journey to align you with calling in a new Vision for yourself and deepening your connection to the Dreaming Earth. The Gateway Initiations and the Cauldron Intensive are stand alone modules or can be used as prerequisites for the Apprenticeship:
Earth Circle and Central Pillar: Gateway Initiations
This meditation series provide initiations and transmissions into each direction of the Sacred Medicine Wheel. They are the first layer of entering into this work, providing much space for personal reflection and could easily be used as a framework for a self-led retreat.
This series of 8 Shamanic Meditations is made up of 4 elemental initiations, 3 transmissions and 1 integration journey and serve as a great introduction to my Shamanic and Earth Dreaming work.
Cauldron Intensive
An Alchemical Cauldron for a deep intimate dive through the Seven Gateways of the Sacred Medicine Wheel - a journey of remembering and tuning into the inner compass of your own innate wisdom.
This course Introduces nature connection, other experiential exercises and meditations to deeply connect with the four elements and the polarities.
In this creative and personal investigation, explore how the Elemental Kingdoms weave into and inform your life in the everyday. Further developing your natural abilities to tune into the dreaming that the Earth Wisdom holds for you.
These powerful sessions align you with an intention to call in a new Vision for yourself. As your guide, I facilitate and mentor you in your own healing journey through the crucible of the Sacred Medicine Wheel.
The first self-study package will be available soon.
Cauldron Intensive Pilgrimage
This Pilgrimage is an Intimate and Intensive journey. A Quest and Initiation. A Catalytic Crucible for a Sacred Journey of Remembering and tuning in ever more deeply to the inner compass of your own innate wisdom.
This course, originally running over 7 months, explores the fractilisation of each direction where it spirals down into the interconnectedness, intersectionality and interplay of each element and polarity to discern its pure essence. This is an advanced course and it will be available for a combined self-study and mentorship later this year ( 2025).
Within the fractalisation of each wave we discover that the macroscosm is representative of the microcosm - as is the dance of inner and outer, above and below, dark and light, masculine and feminine …
There is an interconnected unconditional reliance within these relationships. No element or polarity is static or in isolation. Each contains the essence of all the others while maintaining its unique purity.
Sacred Earth Essence : Medicine Wheel Series
Honouring the Elemental Kingdoms Dream for us
This is the Elemental Kingdoms contribution and interpretation of the Sacred Medicine Wheel. And it is pure Magic, this is where the fun really starts as the Warrior self comes into being.
Expect some exciting developments as this series of Sacred Earth Essences are the final layer of this work completing the Apprenticeship to the Dreaming Earth.
As your Hunter self you have learnt to track the elements and polarities in your life. Now stepping into your Warrior self you start to experience their embodiments within the Elemental Kingdoms who hold the Dream of the Earth for us. This is where the apprenticeship will end and your journey truly starts.
Though Sacred Earth Essences come as a self-study package with elixir, this series will only be available as part of the Apprenticeship.
This work contains medicine and teachings which have been the main tributaries, arteries - the pulse of my life. I call this medicine work Earth Dreaming.
The deeper layers have only become more exposed and known through time, presence and commune with the Wild World. This is what I will help you explore through the meditative and experiential Nature connection exercises.
In this Sacred Medicine Wheel foundationed Apprenticeship to the Dreaming Earth, you will find Balance and Harmony through deeply connecting with Earths Elemental Nature and polarities. Then you learn to source your life from your Centre - like Grandmother Spider feeling into the vibrations of her web weave - alert to the waves coming through the Cosmos.
I look forward to sharing this crucible and walking this path with you.

More about this Work
Nature Connection …
There was a time when shamanic wisdom, intimate connection to nature, survival and bushcraft skills weren’t separate disciplines - combined they were a way of life. A way that many indigenous people work hard to preserve and have recognised in modern times. One that has been significantly lost in Britain and much of Europe - attempts of revival lean heavily on the written word and other cultures, and not the traditional passing down of knowledge though the spoken word and way of living.
The more accurate term would be Nature Re-Connection - why is this important ?
In my work I encourage people to connect with their own inner wisdom - this is Empowerment. I encourage my clients and mentees to turn away from the external noise and go within to listen.
… and Cauldron Intensives
With the Cauldron Intensive we work deeply with the 4 elements and the 2 polarities, not only to create harmony and balance in our lives - but to recognise that nature is in everything ... even if we don’t leave the house. These simple components of the Natural world are present in everything. And when we start to recognise and observe them in our everyday, lean into them - something shifts and then the magic occurs.
Tuning into this magic extends to then having more direct experiences with the natural world … as our inner world quietens down, everything quietens down, becomes more spacious and we can really listen.
I believe that a better future is created by building bridges reconnecting us back to Earth. This is my work and I am not alone. When I look around I see so many doing this in so many ways it fills my heart - and yet these are not ways necessarily labeled as spiritual - though I can see they are !
When we heal our connection to the Earth, we heal within. We learn that everything is interconnected, everything relies on everything else for existence. No-one is an island, nothing is separate.
As we build these bridges between us and Earth our connection deepens. As we sense and feel subtleties that we may never have noticed or sensed before, we start to pay attention. These are gifts that we learn to take with us when we leave our physical experience with nature. In Shamanic soul retrieval, soul sparks are often retrieved from intensely happy, joyous times of deep connection - so when you go home remember to take all of you back! It makes this work easier!
These feelings are connections to the subtleties of quantum mechanics, aka energy medicine, working though the elemental fields - this is where the magic of sublimity is. This magic once you open to it, touch it, reach it, experience it, you will know that it will be with you forever, deeply. And with awareness, has the potential to heal all to do with separation - profoundly.
Then you start to recognise this inner experience is one that you can connect with anytime, anywhere and not only when you are in awe of the vast, magnificence of the natural Earth - this is a doorway. It will always be with you even when you go back to the city.
And this is my work. I help you build bridges between the reality that you experience to the magical healing fields I know exist, wherever you are.
To make something relatable, tangible, it is given a sound - yet it is the silence that carries the mystery - it is Beyond words: An alchemical distillation process rooted in the magic of the everyday mundane.
This is my work. I may provide access to the bridges and doorways. But It is your journey.
With much love,
from my Heart to yours,
Tania Aurora White Crow
