The Blue Deer Center, located in the Catskill Mountains sits on land recognized by indigenous peoples as a place of healing and conflict resolution. Grounded in the guidance and sponsorship of elders from ancestral traditions, our programs follow from the notion of the world as a divine and living presence. Come experience the natural world from a place of heart and connection, where the beings of nature – the fire, the wind, the river, and the myriad others – speak and sing.

“Come and hear my song. Let my song of love, fluidity,
forgiveness and compassion permeate your heart. Take my
song home with you — in your heart — and sing it to the world.”

— the Saskawhihiwine
