"The Medicine Wheel is an ancient symbol used by many Aboriginal people
of North and South America. The Medicine Wheel teaches us that all life
moves in a circle and each person's journey to self fullfilment lies within.
There are many different ways that this concept is expressed, all reflecting
the importance of wholeness and balance and the significance of the number
four in Aboriginal life: four seasons, four grandfathers, four directions, four
elements and four aspects of our nature, four life stages. The Medicine
Wheel has no beginning and no ending, just as there is no end to our
journey of the four directions. The human capacity to develop is infinite -
The Medicine Wheel turns forever."
