"Imagine darkness so intense and so complete that
it is almost solid, flowing around you like ink,
covering you like a velvet blanket. A blackness
which cuts you off from the everyday world, which
forces you to withdraw deep into yourself, which
makes you see with your heart instead of with your
eyes. You can't see, but your eyes are opened. You
are isolated, but you know you are part of
Wankan Tanka, united with all living beings."

Has anyone ever taken part in a 'YUWIPI' ceremony? If so I'd love to hear about
it. The opportunity for such things does not present itself very often in
Glasgow!!
Also, I'd like to learn some Lakota, would someone please advise me on relevant
reading material/sources.
Wanbli Galeshka be part of us all,
