Autumn Olive Work Day
Autumn Olive or Russian Olive trees are beautiful, fragrant trees with delicious and nutritious berries. They are also a highly invasive species. They crowd out native plants making the land unusable for other plants, animals and humans.
Defend our beautiful ceremonial native trees and plants (and to give beauty to the land that nourishes us so wonderfully) by joining the Russian Olive Removal Party on the Michigan Ceremonial Land.

Community Purification Lodge
Newcomers must arrive by 5:00pm for orientation.
James Hillman, the Jungian analyst said, “I don’t think anything changes until ideas change. Hillman also said that to develop Strength of Mind – our receptivity to the knock of spirit and all that it is inviting us to see, to awaken and to know – becomes “the welfare of the soul.’’ Hillman concluded that Knowledge “is the way the soul comes to understand itself.” By this reasoning, Strength of Mind acts as a clarity mirror that allows for thoughtful receptivity, contemplation and discernment in relationship to all new knowledge becoming available to us in our ever-changing life experience. To develop Strength of Mind, which is the open mental capacity to contend with the deeper challenges of life experience effectively, our relationship to Knowledge must become flexible, attuned, receptive, clear. What blocks this? What are the ideas that we harbor or practice repeatedly that block our receptivity to new knowledge and strength of mind? How might we identify these ideas, thoughts, opinions or beliefs that block us from new knowledge and strength of mind? In this purification lodge we will pray to identify and release ourselves from ideas, opinions, thought or beliefs that block us from greater Strength of Mind.
It is important to be on time, especially if you are a newcomer. Know that you will be welcomed into the community and cared for once you arrive.

Dear Friends,
Are you feeling a little overwhelmed these days? Is your nervous system like on overdrive all the time? Is your to-do-list not getting any shorter no matter how hard you're going at it and moments of joy seem harder to hold on to?
We are living challenging times for sure, but the beauty of ceremony is here to reminds us we are not powerless! We are offering a purification lodge ceremony for us to help us claim JOY as non-negotiable in our lives. Wanna join us?
This ceremony is designed to help us flow in happiness no-matter-what. We'll ask the Sacred Powers to help us engage questions like, When it comes to our unhappiness, are we part of the problem we are complaining about?... Are there ways to enjoy the sweetness of life more that we are not seeing? If we know we have so many things to be grateful for, why don't we feel happier?
This event is open to everyone and people who have never been in purification lodges are our guests of honor 🥰! Please share this invitation with friends and family you think would benefit from the experience.
Because I have to fly there to lead this event, I'd need to collect RSVPs sooner than it would be necessary if someone local were organizing this. Your advanced planning is greatly appreciated!
If you have any questions please contact at the link below.
Hoping to see you soon, one way or the other,
Maria Night Eyes

INTENT : EAST LODGE
How do we fully assume authority for our self-growth with hope and joy as human beings? We gain strong self-worth and self-love by the virtue of our works – especially by and through how we dedicate ourselves to a meaningful expression of self-growth. To accomplish meaningful growth, we must learn how to be focused on the highest and most desirable outcome that produces maturity within ourselves for the benefit of others in any circumstance. To achieve and enjoy this kind of skilled self-worth, we must become trustworthy to ourselves. This purification lodge will provide an opportunity for participants to do ceremony that empowers self-trust.
Food is welcome for sharing in social gathering after the lodge.
We look forward to being in ceremony with you!

Community Purification Lodge - CANCELLED
CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER.
Dear Medicine Family,
The Great Lakes Shamanic Community purification lodge scheduled for February 7th has been cancelled in anticipation of another bitterly cold Saturday. Someone suggested we provide an at-home prayer ceremony, maybe even one we could send to the wider community, and asked if I would create one. In my experience, when events in the world and our personal lives are too much to bear, it’s good to go to Spirit and lay down our burdens. So here it is.
Smudge. Call to Spirit in any way you choose- perhaps facing the 4 directions in turn, or on your knees facing any direction you choose. Ask your relations who love you to come and be with you. The very act of calling them reminds us we are never alone, no matter how hard things may seem.
Pour your heart out- your fears, your frustrations, your grief, your rage….Censor nothing. Spirit can take it. And don’t make words do all the work. Some things can only be cried about; others move best with sound alone. Lay it down until you feel something shift. You’ll know when you’re done.
Now take a breath. Remember who you are and the beauty you carry. Send blessings out into the world, into all the dark and sore places; radiate connection, hope and love with all the “you are not alone” energy you can muster. Let the breath of Spirit carry it for you. Know that people all over the world are doing the same thing, in their own way, sending blessings to you. This eternal lifeforce energy always surrounds us- we just need to open to it.
Take three final breaths.
With the first, exhale Peace.
With the second, exhale Hope.
With the third, exhale Love.
Thank all your relations and close your ceremony.
I haven’t said anything here that you didn’t already know. But sometimes if helps to remind each other that Spirit is here for us.
Sending love your way, Debbie
