NEW
LOGO
As
Eyaa-Keen Centre continues to evolve, so
has their image. This year they've been
proud to reveal a brand new logo to better
reflect the Traditional teachings that bring
meaning to their programs.
The
logo is based on the name Eyaa-Keen - which
means being natural, being self/authentic,
being grounded/at one with the earth.
Starting
in the middle of the logo, the colour pink
represents the individual, and the centre
of one's being, which is directly connected
with the Creator. From there, our existence
begins, made up of our uniqueness, powers,
gifts, and purpose in life.
The
centre is surrounded by a seven point gold
star - the same number of points to parallel
the Seven Sacred Laws of life, which are
at the very core of living: Love, Respect,
Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility and Truth.
From
each of these seven star points come the
spirits of the Clan, each with their own
governing laws: Eagle, Bear, Turtle, Deer,
Wolf, Loon and Crane.
The
four rings of colour carry their
own significance with respect to
the five elements of the creation
of life forms on earth, and the
power of the surrounding universe:
- Red
for the people of Turtle Island;
as a way of living by being on
the 'red road'.
- Yellow
for the sun as the Creator's fire;
the ceremonial fire is for people
to rekindle their fire within
the centre of their being.
- Blue
for the sky and the universe.
- Green
for water and Mother Earth, all
her children, and the medicines.
- White
represents the place where clarity
can be found.
The
four bars symbolize the four original
nations and the four main passages
and doors from within self that
move out into the physical world.
Four also represents the four directions:
-
Yellow is in the East where knowledge
comes from, and teachings of life.
-
Blue
is in the South where growth takes
place from the teachings.
-
Red
is in the West where lives understanding
from application of the teachings.
-
White
is in the North where clarity
takes place and wisdom follows.
