Gatherings give us the ability to live in harmony with the natural elements, having an appreciation for the weather patterns, animal behaviors, and cycles of plant life, water supply, and the seasons.  This shows our connection with the elements and Mother Earth.

The Gathering place is a family event & a cultural celebration welcoming everyone to nurture individual and community wholeness.  It is a time where people gather to enjoy sharing conversation & stories. A place where women, men, grandmothers, Elders, children, etc, come together to share their knowledge and spirituality.

In our Indigenous community, we sustain cultural preservation by acknowledging history & responsibility. A place where we promote respect, pride, inclusion, and recognition of diversity. Our elders are honored and revered for their wisdom.  The Gathering starts with them offering prayers of thanksgiving inviting people to do tobacco offering in the sacred fire.
