LONG DANCE 2018 was a deeply moving Ceremony!
We are so happy to have shared this year's Long Dance ceremony with the brothers and sisters who attended! Those that were unable to attend were missed and held in the hearts of all.
This was our last ceremony on this beautiful piece of land that held us for these last few years. Much gratitude to the land and everyone who contributed to making the space such a powerful place to pray.
We're looking for Land!
Please let us know if you have land or a lead for land that we could enrich with our annual Long Dance Ceremony and Vision Quest. Please do keep this prayer forward at your personal alters.
