TwoSpirit Natives - Save the Date

--->May 24-25, 2014 - MEMORIAL WEEKEND - Saturday + Sunday

Indian Canyon Two Spirit Gathering

RSVP HERE: ONLINE FORM
Calling all Aboriginal/Native American gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender people, their partners, friends, families - you are invited to gather in the land of the Coastanoan Ohlone People.This is a weekend gathering for Native American Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people, their partners, family and friends. We will share a potluck dinner and gather with friends - and potentially make this an annual event in Indian Canyon. The gathering will provide a safe, healthy, drug and alcohol free environment. We gather to encourage all people to heal the damage wrought by racism, sexism, ageism, colonialism, ableism, transphobia, and homophobia and the negative impacts these have on health. We gather to make new friends. family, and community connections.

Please bring a potluck dish. Bring any camping items and gear, i.e tent, mats, sleeping bags/blanktes, that you may need. We will provide drinking water, tea, coffee, charcol, and a campfire. We also have a few propane burners and fire rings for cooking. Camping is rustic, with outhouse facilities and running water but no electricity. Evenings can be cool and the days are warm (80's). Bring sunscreen, folding chairs, hats, and whatever else you may need to be comfortable. If you are not able to camp, there are affordable motels located in Hollister (a 20 minute drive from Indian Canyon).

There will be a potluck on Friday and Saturday nights. We will provide breakfast on Saturday morning, lunch on Saturday afternoon, and a light continental breakfast on Sunday. We are asking for a small donation per person to defray gathering costs - no one turned away for lack of funds.

This is sacred land, so we ask that whatever you bring in- you take out ... We encourage our guests to leave our place better than it was when you came. As part of the closing ceremony on Sunday, there will be a modest giveaway. Please bring something to share for the giveaway.

If you have any questions or need more information,
please call or text Kanyon at (408) 673-0626;
all messages will be answered within 48 hours.

Naraya - Dance for all Peoples

--->July 3-6, 2014

Naraya - Dance for all Peoples

The purpose of the present-day Dance is to honor and renew our relationship with the earth, the ancestors, and all beings through creating a common ground for all. Inspired by ancient Great Basin Plateau tribal traditions and originating in their ancestral Round Dance, with a return to the ancient songs, prayers, and offerings, the Dance For All People today incorporates singing and dancing in a circle around a central living tree, intention, and service. Few of us can claim this as our tradition, yet we come as welcomed guests, approaching with humility and respect for the ceremony and the elders.
