Fall Equinox Retreat

Welcoming all genders, ethnicities and ages ~

 

This will be a great time for releasing energies that no longer serve you and to amplify the power of your manifestations with other like-minded folks. It will also be an amazing time to pray for Mother Earth.

 

You are being invited to attend this magical event hosted by the Blue Sky Community Healing Centre and Niibing Tribal Tours. I am Standing Strong of the Caribou Clan and of the Anishinaabe people, and I am delighted to welcome you to this Sacred Land that I call Niibing (it is summer). The Sacred Land covers 135 acres located next to Ktichigaming (Lake Superior) with watershed running through the property. It is a very beautiful and peaceful space that is secluded enough for complete Spiritual privacy. The retreat will be guided through Spirit.

 

Activities

Wednesday 12 pm – Opening Ceremony with Spirit Bear Song and introductions, making hand drums (you need 4 days to bless drum before the Birthing Ceremony on Sunday morning).
