First night, bed-rolled in the big fireplace of a miner’s shack beside a running creek.  The land was an Ipai kitchen site, turned out.  Daily reminders of heritage and seasonal cycles--  we transitory walk on sacred ground.  Sharing the beauty that surrounds us, in ceremonies here over the years,  we hope to connect community to old and new ways . . . to renew and practice . . . to ground and to take responsibility."
