Notes
From the Center
....................................................................... |
 |
As
I write this, I am looking out my office window at spring
trying to “spring.” After two glorious days
of rain, and temperatures in the 40’s, it dropped
again into the 20’s last night, and today we are
blessed with a shiny blanket of sparkling white snow,
glistening in the morning sunlight, as far as the eye
can see.

Special
Interview with Lei'ohu Ryder
..................................................................... |
BDC:
Aloha Lei’ ohu. I had the good fortune of taking
the ‘Olohe Malu course with you last September.
It was very powerful for me. Can you speak about your
experience and why you have chosen to return to the Blue
Deer Center with this offering?
I have chosen to return because it is a place where many
may gather in their authenticity around the fire to express
their evolution as life. To share their wisdom and aloha
through rituals that connect all the voices of our ancestors
across time and space.

Fundraising
Corner
....................................................................... |
We
are all looking for a place to call home. Some of us may
have a home with a husband, a wife, a partner, children
or friends. It is a place where we can find solitude,
solace, joy and feel comfortable enough to learn to be
ourselves and grow and live in the world.
The Blue Deer Center can and will be such a Home for you.

Women's
Retreat
Blue
Deer Center, May 25-29, 2008
The Lifeways Women's Retreat offers a time apart from ordinary
life to gather with a circle of women in ritual space. Our
work together is for personal transformation and for remembering
our role as women in relationships, families and sustaining
community. These retreats offer a path to awaken from the
linear model of life that western culture has offered and
to restore us to a natural cycle that is more in alignment
with our feminine nature and the way we are meant to live.
Unlike an initiation that we move through at a certain stage
of life, these retreats may be returned to again and again
to deepen one's connection to the heart and soul of the feminine
and to find the strength and resolve to maintain that connection.Deanna
Jenné is a Marakame (shaman) in the Huichol Indian
tradition of northwestern Sierra Madres of Mexico and she
is a Granicero (weather shaman) in the Nahuatl Indian tradition
of central Mexico.
Deanna is of service to the community through her healing
work, as a fire keeper, and as a ceremonial and ritual facilitator
and leader. She has worked with circles of women for over
twenty years. With her husband Gary, she is currently building
an intentional community near Grand Junction, Colorado.
Sherry
Boatright is a Granicero (weather shaman) in the Nahuatl tradition
of central Mexico and a firekeeper in her community in Georgia.
She serves on the Sacred Fire Community Executive Committee
where she is manager of the Community area. A practicing psychotherapist,
she has worked with women's groups since 1980.
