Our One Family Day Retreat
on June 7th at Piccolo Pastures was truly blessed and beautiful.
All ages gathered from 2 on up and we sang, drummed, prayed, played ...
Some highlights include Beverly's puppet show, planting our own maple trees to take home, going in silence to Grandmother Willow Tree where we found many treasures waiting. We shared the treasures as well as more singing, playing & praying. While Karene led the kids away from Grandmother Willow on a skunk hunt, the adults deepened their Oneness with this powerful tree; Jerry playing gorgeous Native American Flute ... Laurie leading a meditation... the wind & the Grandmother adding their own voices & energies ~ truly a sacred celebration! In our closing circle back in the Ecumenical Garden, we wove a web of love and then had ice cream and fresh from the field strawberries. Yum, yum, yum! This coming together to open hearts and be the open hearts we are, revitalized the vision for the Feathers Of Faith Camp coming in Ag. and inspired the date for our next Day Retreat at:

In the circle, we all hold an equal space. We give and receive openly and abundantly; it's not easy to hide in a circle. Your face, your hands, your voice are all called into oneness with the circle. We echo the seasons, and all cycles of time, light, growth with the circle that is connected and never ends. In the Spirit of the circle, we are gathering together with families and children of all ages ... that means, you, the young at heart, to play and pray.

Black Elk Oglala Sioux Holy Man

1863-1950

"You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours...
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves."
