December Class, last of the year…and planning for 2026

Shamanic Rattle and Tool Making, originally scheduled for September, then moved to October to make way for other classes in those months, has been moved once more to the weekend of December 12. I have a few spaces open. One of the most enjoyable classes I teach, and as many who have taken it can attest, you need to have no prior artistic experience to make beautiful rattles and other shamanic tools. This is an in-person class, meeting Friday from 6 to 9 and on Saturday and Sunday, in Ithaca NY. Taught by Bekki (Photo below: Rattle made by student with zero art experience, first time taking the course)

I am planning next year’s classes, and accepting input from interested students. Keep an eye out for updates.

A Message from Rev. Bekki

It is with great sadness that I inform friends and associates, and other interested individuals, that Crow Swimsaway passed from this earth plane on April 7, 2018. Crow enjoyed phenomenal health for most of his 81 years, maintaining the vigor of a much younger person. but contracted an inflammatory lung condition in late 2017, which worsened over the winter. In early March he was hospitalized with the Ohio Veterans Administration, and did not recover.

I will continue the work of the Church. Dragon Waters, our beloved home for over 3 decades, which has hosted many of our church functions, is in the process of becoming home to one of our long-time students and dear friend, and will continue to function as the sanctuary it became under our stewardship. It will also continue to host some of the events we have facilitated over the years, and to be a welcome respite and retreat for friends and students.

Thanks to all who have supported our work for the last 3 decades. I hope you will continue to find spiritual aid and guidance through these offerings.

—- Bekki Shining Bearheart, Minister
