Tending the Fire: The Second Homelands PowWow
Oct 3 & 4, 2026
The Homelands PowWow is a gathering held on the ancestral homelands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, in the heart of the Berkshire region of Western New England. Our mission is to honor and reconnect the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican people, many of whom now reside in Wisconsin, with their ancestral lands.
​
We are focused on building relationships with regional Indigenous communities and local neighbors as we lay a strong foundation for a celebration that will not only grow over time, but will last for many generations to come.
​
Through the annual organization of this PowWow, we raise funds to support travel and lodging for tribal members who wish to return to these sacred homelands. Rooted in tradition, community, and cultural resilience, our work helps ensure that the connection between the Mohican people and their lands endures for future generations.
​
Get involved!!
There are many ways to get involved; whether you'd like to sponsor, donate, attend or volunteer, we'd be most grateful for any and all support to make this second year even more memorable than last.
I am on the Homelands PowWow Board of Directors and am the Volunteer Coordinator.
Reach out to me directly if you'd like to get involved this year and volunteer!!

The Sacred Art of Rattle Making
** Date just posted!! **
​
This 2 day offering is an opportunity to create your own shamanic style Medicine Rattle. In shamanic practice, Rattles are used to shatter existing energy patterns so that a new, higher vibration may be established. Often used at the start of a session, practitioners might walk around a room, person or home to break up and clear the space before they begin. Rattles are a great helper to quiet the mind when you just need to come unplugged for a minute. Creating your own “medicine rattle” allows you to set an intention for its use and invites you to add in any *special crystals or stones that may assist you vibrationally.
​
The class begins and ends in ceremonial way, acknowledging and offering gratitude to our newfound Spirit Helpers and all the sacred components that will make up our Rattles. The intention and energy will continue to build during the creation process alongside us, as we connect in spirit with each other’s “good medicine” reflections as well. Day One begins the rattle process. We will lace them together and fill them with a temporary stuffing to hang overnight so the skin can dry. Day Two completes the process as we put our rattles together by adding intentional filling and securing our sticks inside. ​We close the two day process with a Sage and Tobacco offering as we awaken our newly created shamanic helper, the Medicine Rattle!
​
*All supplies included and no experience necessary!
​
*Many of us pick up sticks while walking in nature – feel free to bring your own as well as any special filling you’d like to include in your medicine rattle (such as small crystals, stones, beads)
​
These shamanic helpers will continue to evolve with you over time.
​
This workshop is being offered in collaboration with Deb Ogden of Laughing Water Designs. When this Earthen Spirit works alongside Laughing Water we become the Mudheadz, LOL.

DRUM MAKING WORKSHOP
** Date just posted!! **
​
This all day event is an opportunity to create your own 14" drum. Often called a "buffalo drum", the skin choice is yours based on availability at the time of order (for example Buffalo, Deer, Horse, Cow, Elk) The skins are pre-cut with holes already punched for ease in the creation process. After putting a clear coat finish on the inside of the rim, you may choose to write prayers, designs or inscriptions inside before lacing with additional options to place a few of your favorite crystal points into the sides of the skins! You will make a drum beater as well.
We begin and close the day in sacred way, acknowledging gratitude to our Spirit Helpers and all the sacred components that make up our new drum. We take time to journal our thoughts and intentions as we pull a few oracle cards for reflection. Instructions, Sage and Tobacco are included for a Drum Awakening Ceremony, info on how to care for your drum as well as a handout with metaphysical insight of your personal drum skin choice.
​
Make your drum for free if you host the workshop!

DRUM CIRCLES!
​Considered by many to be the heartbeat of Mother Earth, the pulsing rhythm of the drum in its simplest form is a natural stress reliever as it shakes off the energetic 'stuff' that we've picked up along the way. It doesn't take long before we exhale and begin to notice the amazing change in our energy field. The rhythmic beat of the drum naturally quiets the left brain enabling the right brain to roam in a more creative space. When we open up to these vibrational sounds, we open the door for deep insight, healing and relaxation to occur. As we blend and build our unique rhythms into the circle, we let go even more, tapping into intentions, sharing wisdom reflections and surrendering into the healing rhythms of the drum.
​
Intention is everything!
​
Our Drum Circles are held within the sacred space of a Labyrinth overlaid with a Medicine Wheel offering powerful sacred geometry above, below and within to help manifest our intentions.
​
When added to the lunar cycles of the Moon, shift really happens... ​
​
No experience necessary!​​

Light refreshments will be offered at the end to ensure you are grounded before heading home!

Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals & the Shamanic Journey
Special two day expanded shamanic offering!!
​
This weekend offering introduces the seeker to a higher reflection of their soul by way of the shamanic journey; a drug free altered state of awareness that anyone can learn and is a powerful tool for healing, self-awareness and spiritual guidance in our daily lives.
​
Day one offers 3 journey experiences that begin to paint an extraordinary landscape, not only unique to you but one that has been traveled and shared collectively by shamanic healers around the world for thousands of years. Are you ready to meet your power animal and spirit guide?
Day two offers teachings that support these experiential practices from the many shamanic helpers ready to assist us on our journey. Included are reflections from the Winged Ones (Bird Wisdom), Stone People (Rock divination), Plant People (Sacred smudge), Standing Ones (Tree Wisdom), Drums & Rattles (Power of Vibration) and the Medicine Wheel (Power of Direction).
All that is needed is your imagination as we cross this bridge to non-ordinary reality where extraordinary insights, healing and guidance can be found. Shamanic journeying is a powerful practice to add to your spiritual toolbox!
People may ask "why journey?", I say why not?! If you can easily connect with the higher guidance of these shamanic helpers who are ready to assist us in co-creating a more sacred, grounded and intentional spiritual path in life, why wouldn't we?
​
The weekend closes with an overview of our newly refreshed Spiritual Toolbox as we integrate all of the above to create Sacred Space via a Gratitude Ceremony.
​
No experience necessary!
​
Whether you are seeking to deepen your current spiritual practice(s) or searching for a reflection of your life purpose, this introductory weekend will introduce you to the basic "what, when, where, who's and how's" of Shamanism, Power Animals, Journeying and more! Created and derived from my own shamanic apprenticeship and experience, this weekend offering is unique unto me and only offered once a year.
​
​Come on out and join us and perhaps even wake up your sacred vision!
​
​Gather a few like minded friends and make it a day to remember!​ ​

(Comments from a previous seeker - "Grace has a warm, mama bear presence that eases any anticipatory nerves about diving deep into the shamanic world. She shares many of her experiences and wisdom through storytelling and engaging her students. In our two day Shamanic Helpers class, I felt captivated by the profound, yet simple way we can invite spirit into our lives and healing work as we explored the ways that the animals, birds, plants, trees, the elements, the stars, sound tools, the medicine wheel and even ROCKS can enhance our spiritual toolbox. As an energy practitioner, these teachings are so sacred in infusing how and what I share with myself and others to align into our highest selves on this earth")

First Degree Reiki Certification
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an ancient Japanese form of energy healing that promotes stress reduction, relaxation and healing.
​
Rei = divine Ki = life force energy
​
This two day class will help remind you of your own divine nature and offer the reflection of a higher vibrational way of being. By opening these energetic pathways within our mind/body system, we also connect deeper in consciousness as we expand and invite universal life force energy to flow through us.
Healing is about restoring balance and happens in many ways. Reiki is a powerful addition to our spiritual toolbox and can be instrumental not only for assisting others with their healing, but to your own personal journey as well. Within this 8 hour class we will learn about the history of Reiki and the basics of the energy body/chakras as well as how to do a self healing and if one is led to work on others, the hand positions for that session as well.
​
​No experience necessary!
​
If you have been drawn to experience reiki and wish to be attuned to this energy, this class is for you!​
​
You will receive a First Degree Practitioner Certificate upon completion.​​
