Key ProductsTalking Stix – All of mystick products that average 6 to 14 inches in
length go by “Stix” and are created from local wood sources. They are slowly hand-crafted to become the finished products pictured on this website.Masks – My dramatic wall hung art is a natural complement to your talking stick. Each mask is an original work of art to be used alone or as a stand for your talking Stix.WishKeeper - These special Stix are designed for keeping your intentions. The end cap is removable and holds written intentions, crystals, or other objects of your choice.Spirit Dice – These unique cubes average 2 to 4 inches and are made from indigenous wood. Each holds a different energy for your own inspired use.Wood used in my work is found “on the ground” and is never cut directly from the tree. Each of the products is truly a unique creation and never an exact duplicate. Colors added to the wood are from stains (paint by request only).Ken Horst, H.H.P., C.Ht.

Talking Circle BasicsA talking circle is a method used by a group to address a topic in an equal and non-confrontational manner. The group members sit in a circle and comment on the topic of discussion following a number of basic rules:
1. Only the person holding the talking stick is invited to speak.
2. An effort is made to listen as you would want to be listened to in your turn. This is known as “intense listening”.3. The talking stick passes around the circle from one to the next.
Ideally everyone forms a close seated circle in such a way as to see the individual face of every group member. Each person is encouraged to speak loudly enough for a person on the opposite side of the circle to comfortably hear the share. As each speaker completes their turn, the stick is passed to their neighbor who may speak or may (in silence) pass the stick on. Another talking circle practice, is to have one’s turn and to hold the stick quietly until another group member is so moved and motions to receive the stick.Comments
from Collectors“My talking stick brings me back to center…an unconscious way of centering. It’s both body friendly and energy friendly. I love the artistry of it – simple and beautiful. Just imagine using it at a corporate meeting. I love the ritual of it and the quiet, natural, gentle way of communicating.”
–Tanya B.“I presented my stick for a blessing last night. Each person presented their own prayer stick – with their intention written and attached – all were creative and then each person passed the stick on to the next. The blessing for each stick by each person was a powerful display of unity. I am truly blessed and so very grateful to finally have that right and perfect stick for me. I will use the second one in another ceremony very soon. Blue is my color” Peace and love in the light,
