STAFF & VOLUNTEERS

SYBIL HARMON - VOLUNTEER AT LARGE

Sybil “Silent White Storm”, former SCL Board Chair, is a certified Qigong, Tai Chi and Meditation Instructor with over 25 years of teaching and training. “I continue to be amazed by the simple yet profound depth of Qigong and Tai Chi as self-healing practices that can bring balance in all areas of life (body, mind and spirit). As we experience the world speeding up, we are being guided to seek tools for reclaiming our energy—to live powerfully in happiness and in harmony.” Sybil’s dedication and service to Spirit Canoe Lodge has been integral to its growth. She often assists on SCL Purification Lodge fire crews and enjoys offering her gardening and culinary skills. Sybil offers her mastery of Qigong and Tai Chi at events. We always appreciate her spiritually grounded presence in the space.
