Morels are making an appearance on the land at Spirit Canoe Lodge! Join us at the work weekend and spend some time hunting for these amazing mushrooms.
April 22-24 & May 7-8 Work Weekends for Eagle Dance: Lend a hand for a few hours or stay the whole weekend to assist in preparing the land and ceremonial space for our first Eagle Dance! There will be stonework done on the altar, native plants to be put in, and drainage work. We will also have time to help dancers with their preparations and regalia for the ceremony. Contact Kelly to register for Eagle Dance or lend a hand over the work weekends. Much gratitude to our community for helping to make this happen. May 20-22 Eagle Dance! An Eagle Dance is a one day ceremony. Our personal and collective prayers are danced to the center tree. The “tree of life” acts as an antenna to spirit as we pray for guidance from the Universe in the coming year. Drummer singers maintain the heartbeat on a pow-wow drum from sunrise to sunset and maintain the energy for us as we dance back and forth to the center tree. We will be fasting, and drinking water is optional and recommended. The dance is a meditative experience. Dancing keeps us in our bodies and out of our head so we can receive “with care and with clarity” messages from spirit. The people of Grandmother Earth need our prayers. We have chosen to be alive in this special time and humanity is calling us to participate as we bridge the old world into the new one currently emerging. Eagle Dance is an irreplaceable experience and well worth your careful preparation. We highly recommended to attend a Craft Day at SCL to make some of your items. The first time participant will need several items and dance regalia. Contact Kelly for the Eagle Dance preparation list.
Vision Quest Weekend April 29-May 1 We have room for one more participant! One of the first ceremonies on our path is “Night on the Mountain of Fear”. This intensive ceremony is open to all seekers as a way to gain maturity, self discipline, and return to your naturalness…..The higher self wants to make choices and decisions that bring about our potential, increased levels of consciousness, perception, and objectivity...risking the unknown for a better happier life...ceremony creates a shift in our perceptions that lead to new productive patterns enabling us to manifest the change and beauty we long for. Contact Kelly for more information or to register.
May 7-8 Arbor preparations continue. Kelly is also offering craft time to help first time dancers prepare by making their whistles and plumes, a shield of intent, a Hokkshideh-protection bundle, and to learn about the dance regalia needed to dance! Bring a lunch potluck to share. Let Kelly know if you would like to attend or need the Eagle Dance preparation list.
May 20-22 Eagle Dance!
SCL’s Open House & Native Gardens Gala! June 5th 10-4pm Come visit our native plant and forest medicinal sanctuary.

Join us at this fundraising gala for garden tours, enjoy a serene sit spot in nature, and meander through our sacred forest.
