Raising the Tipi, Raising Our Prayers - Community Work Day & Celebration into the night
There are moments when a community gathers like birds returning to the same branch—drawn by something ancient, something shared. This is one of those moments.
On April 11, we come together on the sacred land of Guardian Mountain to raise our Tipi in a collective act of intention, care, and connection. With many hands and open hearts, we lift the structure—raising not only its poles, but our prayers, our energy, and our shared spirit, like wings meeting the sky.
You are warmly invited to bring your own altar cloth to create a personal space within the Tipi.
Each offering becomes part of a larger field of presence, weaving our individual intentions into a unified circle.
Bring food to share, your willingness to participate, and your full presence. As the Tipi stands, we will continue into the evening with music, community, and ceremony around the fire—celebrating, honoring, and giving thanks together.
For those who are unable to join us in person to support, we welcome your donations to help with financial needs.
This has been a big investment.
We're so grateful for your contributions.
