You may have heard talk about the Blue Deer Center's Home Project, and perhaps caught a peek of one aspect or another of this important initiative. Now, The Home Project is moving to the forefront of Blue Deer's efforts, and we would like you to participate in the big picture of this critical endeavor.
Providing a Genuine Home
The Home Project's vision is to provide Elders- from different traditions world-wide- a genuine home where they are supported in preserving their activities of guidance and understanding, allowing them to share their wisdom with the 21st century world. The support this provides to humanity is immense, especially at such a critical time in human history.
Losing any ancestral culture of tradition on our planet is a deep loss to ourselves-- and the soul of this planet. by fostering this home for the Elders, Blue Deer's intention is to establish a repository of heart where you and I , with guidance from the Elders, can practice, learn, and heal.
The Home Project is at the core of the Blue Deer's mission and provides benefits to you, the center, the elders and the world:
Benefits to You- Creating opportunities for you to receive teachings and healing from the Elders, participate in rituals and ceremony, and experience their individual traditions on this centuries-old land used for group resolution and personal healing.
Benefits to the Elders- providing the Elders a viable way of prospering wile continuing their traditional ways, and platform to make their teachings and healing abilities available to today's world.
Benefits to Future Generations- Ensuring the precious wisdom held by the Elders is not lost to this world, but remains available for our children and future generations.
Benefits to Blue Deer- Forming the basis of future prosperity for Blue Deer by making it a repository of ancestral wisdom so we can open our land to people from around the world.
Welcoming our First Elder
Through your support, the Home Project is able to welcome its first tradition holder. This is the fruit of a project guided by the Divine, and envisioned by Don Eliot Cowan. It is because of your support that we are able to open the doors to the new Elder resident building at Blue Deer Center. This new property includes living space, healing space, and meeting space as well as new office for our expanding staff surrounding the Home Project.
The Home Project needs your care and support to ensure a home is available for tradition holders for many years to come so their teachings-- and what the worlds gleans from those teachings-- are not lost.
It's many individual donations coming together that have enabled us to make our first step.
For more information, please contact Jennifer Schuman at 845-586-3225 or jennschuman@bluedeer.org. Last year, your generous gifts helped to raise $295,562. Our goal for 2014 is $598,800. Although the 2014 goal may sound ambitious, you have already donated 50% of that total, and with your help, you can achieve this goal. Many times in our individual lives, we feel like one person or one gift won't make a differences in the world. But you couldn't be more wrong. Together we are stronger.
