Be part of the effort to replace the roofs on the two
main buildings at the Center. The roofs that shelter our
two main buildings at the Blue Deer Center have lived
longer than any of us expected. We need to replace the
roofs in the summer of 2009. Forty-five thousand dollars
is our target for replacing the two roofs.

DONORS,
ARE YOU ON THE LIST?
by Peter Brown
Donors are the ones who sustain the Blue Deer Center as
we head into the winter months. The land is a wonderful
place, but when the days grow short, the air grows cold
and the ground is covered with snow; people seem less
inclined to travel to the Center.

Healing
Camp with Eliot Cowan
Blue Deer Center, October 17-21, 2008
After
he had discovered Plant Spirit Medicine and been practicing
it for several years, Eliot Cowan found himself in a waiting
room reading an article about the Huichol Indians. Feeling
as if an electrical charge had passed through his body, Eliot
immediately knew he had to go and find out about these people.
After several years building relationship with Huichol shamans
he was introduced to the late Guadalupe Gonzalez, who became
his teacher. At that point, Eliot embarked upon a rigorous
12-year apprenticeship learning the healing traditions of
the Huichols.
As he brought this healing back to his people, Eliot found
its benefits could best be supported by a "healing camp"
where the stress patterns of daily life are temporarily left
behind. The camp creates a special sacred space which offers
the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, with others and
with the natural world.
Healing camp is five days of traditional Huichol healing sessions
with Eliot Cowan. Participation is limited to 15 people. The
healing work is enhanced by activities that promote peace,
joy, and connection with nature.
