and energetic rebalancing from one of our trained subtle energy healers. Donation basis.

At 6:30 pm in our main reception area she will offer a free presentation on cutting edge, new, natural and non-surgical innovations in skin care utilizing your own platelet rich plasma. I’ve personally invited Brenda to talk about this because I am so impressed with this new technology and very much appreciate what she is doing for both men and women.

*Our Grandmother Lodge needs to be rebuilt. We are targeting May 19th for this event but cannot confirm this date until we have established that the new willows we need are ready for harvesting. Please check our face book page for the exact date. This is a community building and joyful event during which we harvest new willows in a sacred manner and then return to “plant” and bend the willows into our new lodge. All interested community members are invited. See attached flyer.

Everyone is also invited to bring their arts and crafts items to barter or sell. Please bring a drum if you have one and food to share. No charge. See attachment for details.
