CEDAR FLUTE
Finding Our Own Music


I have all that I lost
and I go carrying my childhood
like a favorite flower
that perfumes my hand.

Gabriela Mistral, Chilean poet

The Native American cedar flute is a simple, ancient insrument used by native cultures for prayer, meditation, relaxation, and simple entertainment. If we are open, we discover the flute allows us to hear our own music, often for the first time -- and we begin to experience deeply buried feelings and knowings -- our own spiritual music -- our own true selves.

The cedar flute symbolizes our goal of discovering and developing our own unique gifts. It is truly a life-changing experience, as we learn and come to intimately know who we really are.

All music, from the heart, is beautiful music.

Apache Song

You have started out on the good earth;
You have started out with good moccasins;
With moccasin strings of the rainbow,
you have started out;
With moccasin strings of the sun's rays,
you have started out;
In the midst of plenty you have started out.


Do you have a dream?
Maybe it's time to pay attention to it.
