Kelly’s Blog:

TIME is speeding up again. The pandemic gave us a strange and necessary glimpse of who and what was important in our lives. Many of us had extended time to spend with those we love while others were separated. Truly the world will never be the same again for humans. The old structures in our world are disintegrating and the new structure is not yet in place. Social and political extremes are the norm. Technology is exploding and it feels as though we are on the precipice of something huge. There are so many issues seeking resolution and solution is not quite visible. This can create RESISTANCE to aligning with the new energy. We are learning to live in peace with paradox by letting go of our judgements, our wounding, and finding happiness even within what we cannot change…. quite yet.

Hello! This is my first blog. I woke up this morning thinking about change and the difficulty most of us have moving forward on our dreams. We often wait for some imagined perfect timing before acting on a plan. All of our ducks must be in a row before we take action. The universe is watching and waiting to see if we are serious about our desires. The moment we actually take action on our desires the universe takes note and the path becomes clearer with every step forward. The universe begins sending gifts of opportunity that assist us toward manifesting what we desire. The lesson of all of this is do not wait to take a step forward any step at all is better than waiting. Before you know it you will turn around one day and see how far you’ve come.

2022 Greettings from SCL and Crone Retreat!

January 08, 2022

2022 Greetings! Winter has finally come to the holler, 9 degrees early this morning. Snow has a purifying energy that blankets the land and brings peace and stillness. You can really feel it. Allow it to sink in and cover up any of your worries. It’s a new year with new possibilities! Here is a link to see our 2022 calendar.

Crone Gathering Retreat @ Spirit Canoe Lodge, Friday January 14 @ 6PM- Sunday January 16 @ 3PM

As we age the elders of our tradition say that “our beauty steals inward”. The wise blood time can be our most creative birthing time of all! Women 54+ are welcome. Our work is to dream the success of future generations and begin re-establishing the importance and value of the elders within our cultures. The magic we do as grandmothers is deeply needed within our communities. We will plot and plan within our wise cauldrons over the weekend through ceremony and brainstorming. Our weekend opens Friday evening with a one hour zoom introduction from Janneke Tateshina, an elder leader from the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path. You may attend the zoom only portion if you cannot attend in person 25$ donation and I will send you a link.

Meet Janneke Koole:  Janneke is our most senior teacher from our path.  She gets to the heart of the matter with a compassionate yet direct manner that makes it clear your life... is your experience...so how will you stay connected to your will to make something happen even when you meet perceived blocks.  She has shown me time and again my beauty and where I have chosen to give up :)  She is an experienced Sweet Medicine SunDance Teacher, member of the Hereditary Lineage Leaders. Known as the “keeper of lineage knowledge”, Janneke’s eternal love for learning sparks hope in others to find their joy in living, the meaning and purpose in adversity, and creative solutions within all forms of relationships. She invites others to take another look at life with a tender boldness.

Womb of Winter Women’s Retreat Fri, Feb 18, 2022 5:30 PM - Sun, Feb 20, 2022 4:30 PM

Fully enter into the WOMB of WINTER by giving yourself a “special winter time-out”...This gathering is intended to hold sacred space for each other - to pay attention to the serious inner work we are longing to do but often resist. The agenda is open and will come into focus on Friday evening as we design our time together. A Sisterhood Purification Lodge may be part of our weekend to release unnecessary resentments and patterns in order to free up our energy and be open to attracting our present desires. Many women have a personal vision they are seeding in coming together...so perhaps this is an intent we each share. Women that come together with focused intent create magic!

Retreat Costs:  $195 -2 nights lodging with bed  or $165 -2 nights bring your own sleeping gear or $145 without lodging . RSVP to Kelly for more information and to register. This one fills up fast.

Welcome Rachel & Brian Crawford! Our new help exchange couple here at the Lodge have settled in to Winter chores and will be here while I’m at Gold Lodge in Arizona. They’ve made good friends with Loki the lodge cat and I’m so grateful for the help so I can do things like write this newsletter and a zillion other administration tasks needed to keep the place running. Thank You Brian & Rachel!

Our Holiday Fundraiser! We made 600$ for SCL at the end of this year. Many thanks to those of you that donated items this year! There are still items for sale including this lovely talisman already blessed and empowered through ceremony visit the SCL Shoppe.
