Our shores on Gabriola (or anywhere) are not a parking lot! Please say NO to the proposed anchorages! Pacific Pilotage Authority (PPA) is proposing to introduce 5 new anchorage sites for huge freighters off the northeast shore of Gabriola Island. Please sign the petition to stop this proposal and please consider sharing this with others and social media to help make our circle grow... to stand strong to say no... with much gratitude....weaver x (((o))) More about this issue here >>
Hi weaver, Just a quick note to say thank you for all the wonderful words, support, drumming, music, laughter, wisdom and joy. You are a remarkable talent and I sit totally enthralled when you are making music. I also want you to know how safe I feel in the ayllu (community) because of your energy. I feel protected and at peace when you do any of the rites. I have learned a great deal from all of you and am walking an honest path with myself now - something I have not done for a number of years. I have rediscovered the mystery and the joy of living. I am beginning to be creative and some pretty cool stuff is starting to drop off the end of my brushes. It's amazing how the process works. Walk in beauty." - Rick W.

Or, if you would like me to bring a circle or shamanic training/workshop to your area, please feel free to contact me to discuss logistics and numbers required to make that happen.
