Sequoyah Trueblood To Teach A Special Class At Southwestern College

Santa Fe, United States - March 13, 2013 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Southwestern College (http://www.swc.edu) is honored to announce that Sequoyah Trueblood will be leading a three day workshop at the college this quarter. The Cherokee/Chocktaw elder, healer, ceremonialist and teacher maintains ties to the school as a member of the Board of Advisors, but it is always a special thrill for the institution when he comes to work directly with students. Therefore the school is proud to be hosting the class, titled THE GREAT CEREMONY OF LIFE, this April 26th through 28th.

“There is always excitement surrounding a class offering from Mr. Trueblood,” says College President, Jim Nolan. “To learn traditional ways of healing from an internationally acclaimed figure is an opportunity few students have elsewhere.”

During the 3-day course students will immerse themselves in traditional North American traditions of purification and healing. Sweat lodge and pipe ceremonies are among the indigenous rituals in which attendees will take part. By the end of the weekend the participants will have come together as a community to pray for themselves, their families, Mother Earth and all of life.

THE GREAT CEREMONY OF LIFE will be held from Friday April 26th through Sunday April 28th at and near the Southwestern College campus. Available both to students and professionals looking to further their education, the class will count as either two quarter units or 20 Continuing Education Credits.

Sequoyah Trueblood is a member of the Oklahoma Choctaw nation, who works with medicine ways internationally. He has worked extensively with Native American youth programs, vision quests and substance abuse programs, and has been involved with the Sundance rites. Sequoyah shares his teaching of global unity and compassion wherever he goes.

Now in its 33rd year, Southwestern College’s mission is “Transforming Consciousness though Education”. It is a Graduate-level Institution that focuses on Counseling and Art Therapy. Southwestern is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and the American Art Therapy Association (AATA).
