We have held a spring\, summer and fall ceremony a lready and now it is time for winter!\n\nI will have a tipi setup with a s tove inside for heat and cooking. This space will be used for our circles but can also be used as an emergency shelter or for those who don't have winter camping gear. Strong tribal protocols will be in place to ensure t he safety and comfort of all involved.\n\nParticipants will be responsible for their own shelter\, bedding\, food\, dishes\, clothing\, snow shoes\, axe\, saw\, matches\, first aid and anything else they will need for wint er camping. Be prepared for temperatures that can go down to -40C with wi nd chills lower than -50C. It is also possible to have warm weather and m elting snow! The forestry road will be closed for the winter\, so I will s hovel out a spot near the highway for parking and guide people to Silent D ancer on foot! I have a pelican sled\, but if people have their own sleds \, that would be wonderful!\n\nThis event is limited to 4 men and 4 women. We will provide detailed directions when we finalize the list of partici pants. There is no cost to this event\, although we do ask that you pay i t forward! If you have ceremonial drums\, etc\, please feel free to bring them along as well. \n\nPeople are welcome to come a day early to setup and settle in before the ceremony starts early in the morning and stay an extra day to pack up and hike out.\n\nNote: This ceremony WILL include te achings on how I emancipated Silent Dancer and myself through peaceful\, n on-violent ways!
