Spring is Sprung !

Spring is Sprung!

The gardens are ready to grow beautiful new life.. Monica and I are getting ready as well.

We are making plans to have a Native Fabric area, community gathering place, at Monica’s home in Amherst, NH.



It will consist of an area for a tipi, a teaching lodge and a healing lodge. A garden is in the works and it will be planted as a three sister’s garden consisting of corn, beans and squash.

Our hope is to provide several activities for our friends and neighbors.

• Story Telling by the fire.
• Talking circles.
• Native crafting of drums, shakers, dream catchers, tools, shelters, etc. 
• Visiting Elders of various Native American Tribes
• Gardening Native American Style.
• Sharing about: Medicine Wheel, Prophesies, Ceremony, Animal Helpers, Survival Technique, Personal Well being, Community.

These offerings are freely given and anyone is welcome.
