The Purpose of the Red Road Gathering:

"We recognize that we are all powerful spiritual beings each on our own physical journeys.  We choose to come together to share our professional, vocational and personal life experiences in a safe and supportive environment.  Through this sharing, we are actively participating in the teachings of Mitakuye Oyasin (All my Relations)."

-Gene Thin Elk


The Red Road Approach is holistic in concept and uses prayer as the basis of all healing. 

There needs to exist a relationship of mutual respect for the afflicted, the medicine (therapy) and the healer (facilitator) for healing to take place.  All these essences are present in the Medicine Wheel, which is innate to Native Americans.  The traditions and values of the Native American people ensures balance by living these cultural traditions through the Red Road.  We utilize our ceremonies and belief systems to become whole once again, in balance, walking the sacred Red Road.
