Our Gratitude Fundraiser

We have a GREAT opportunity for the Reach Yoga Community to rally, come together and to give back. By doing what we do best... YOGA! :)

A Super Special Body Braid Yoga Class to raise funds to rebuild the Sacred Fire Lodge at Soul of the Mother.

Soul of the Mother is a place for wisdom learning. A place for healing and remembering who you are and where you came from. A place to be in harmony with nature and connect with the Sacred.

I have a depth of gratitude to the wisdom keepers at Soul of the Mother that goes beyond my usual gratitude. It is a gratitude that has permeated every cell in my body. When I think of all that I have learned while visiting this land I am overwhelmed with gratitude. It is a place that has benefited my personal growth and my teaching beyond what I could even explain with words.

I have a goal of raising $1000.00 as our first gift of Gratitude to rebuilding the Lodge.

Suggested Donation of $35.00 for this event.
Pay more if you feel moved, less if you need.
~No one gets turned away~

We will have 25 spots available for body braid participants as well as some spaces for anyone who wants to join in without the body braid.

Point of Yummy Interest: 100% of the sale of Giddy YoYo chocolate bars sold at the event go directly to Soul of the Mother.
We love you Bridgitte and Team. We Thank you Bridgitte and Team for the generous contribution to our fundraiser.

About Soul of the Mother:
Everyone is welcome to participate in ceremonies and ongoing programs. The beautiful honouring of Elders has been part of my most enjoyable experiences while at the Lodge. There are so many amazing stories told around the fire. So many beautiful prayers of love, gratitude and healing. Oh, and plenty of laughter! :)

The Women and Men of the Council are hard working and deeply committed to continuing to provide this Sacred Place to gather and it is about this place I reach out to all of you now.

The lodge housing and Sacred Fire will not last an other winter. A new lodge must be rebuilt and the funds raised to do so. Many of you have enjoyed the stories shared from my time there learning the deeper connections to the natural world. If you have attended any of my classes, events or retreats you have benefited from my time at this Lodge.

Please participate Dear Ones in any way you can. The Fire is always waiting to warm us, to illuminate us, to light our way home and to connected us to our Ancestors who walked before us.

In Humble Gratitude for your participation,
Cathy
Director of Wellness at Reach Yoga

I have so much Gratitude for these two women and all who I have met around this fire for sharing their stories with me and teaching me so much.
The Sacred Fire burned continuously for a cycle of 7 years, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Countless blessings were received by those who came to pray at fire.

If you would like to make a donation directly to Soul of the Mother you can do that here :)
