Cowan, author of Plant Spirit Medicine; indigenous art from the Huichols
of Sierra Madres in Mexico will be for sale; tours of the land and facilities,

there will be plenty of time to mingle, meet new friends and reconnect with
old. We will end our day at 5 pm around the fire with a few words.

insure their continuance for our children and future generations. The world's
Ancient Wisdom traditions are being threatened, and a key focus of our work is
in supporting relationships with them and between them. Through events and
media, the Foundation seeks to bring a greater awareness and understanding to
our modern culture of the irreplaceable benefit that Ancient Wisdom provides
the people of the world. Key initiatives include: Ancient Wisdom Rising to be
held at Blue Deer Center August 2015, grant making programs, wisdom fellowship
ward and the Sacred Fire Press.

Spirit Medicine Association representative & healers will also be available
