About the Community
Healing of the entire person, community, and
planet is one of our major goals. We have constructed a labyrinth
for healing and spiritual growth and it is open at all times for any
who wish to use it. There is also a medicine wheel for those who
wish to work on the emotional and spiritual self. This is located
next to the Willoughby River and near the sweat lodge. Cleansing of
the toxins of modern society, again both inner and outer, is
necessary to help us reach that inner place where growth and healing
begin. The medicine wheel is also open to anyone who wishes to use
it as part of their spiritual growth practices. There are several
clan members who have been trained in various spiritual and/or
energy healing techniques, who will assist any who come for healing.
Our community begins all of our functions with prayer, both personal
and group. The scent of sage and tobacco is usually wafting
throughout our grounds whenever a ceremony,"pow wow", or drum
practice is being conducted. We are becoming increasingly a people
of prayer with respect for each person's own way of relating to the
Creator.
Our caring for our Community grows as we
grow as individuals. We offer all our collective gifts to any who
desire assistance. The community at large is always invited to our
events and there is never a fee for a spiritual ceremony or "pow
wow". Donations are gratefully received at the "pow wow" but no one
will be denied access if they are not able to donate. Our chief,
Spirit Water, has fed hundreds of people many, many times. In the
tradition of older times, he cares for his clan and guests, keeping
them well fed ! The wonderful times and memories shared around the
chief's "table" will always remain with our clan
family.We invite you to visit
with us and experience the community we are building
together. |
