The Circle He Founded

We Are the Medicine

49.4K strong

We Are the Medicine is a Circle Meditation group, an Indigenous-inspired spiritual gathering that welcomes medicine from all directions: love, humility, truth, respect, wisdom, courage, and honesty. Standing Bears was its founding leader. What began as his circle grew into a gathering of nearly fifty thousand people.

The circle still meets. It carries on in support of his healing mission, under the leadership of Jenny Jones.

If his story sits heavily with you

You don't have to carry it alone. That was the whole of what he taught. We Are the Medicine still gathers, and all are welcome.
