“When I found Blue Deer Center, I was afraid to connect to other people, and old hurts rose up.

But something surprising happened: I connected to the land. Instantly. I found myself visiting the Sacred River, Saskawhihiwine, first thing in the morning. I reveled in her soothing being, and the respect her presence demands.

I felt uplifted by the dance of the butterflies and the song of birds. And gradually, I connected to the people.

I connected with Fire. The warmth and generosity of Fire has become an ongoing presence and support in my journey. It is teaching me to connect with Heart, and when the connection is established, there is peace and joyfulness. Almost effortlessly.”
