We are Fundraising for our Sacred Lodge at the Shingletown Sanctuary!
May Everyone be a part of the Lodge!
The Shingletown Sanctuary is raising funds for a 24' Traditional Tipi! We have the perfect place near the creek and in the North East.
We want EVERYONE who would like to have their part in it to Donate! When you come up
(if you'd like) we will paint your hands and you can leave your hand print on the Tipi.
Thanks sister Aja for the wonderful idea :)
Having a ceremonial lodge for sacred events, gatherings and workshops, reunions and more throughout the year will truly be a blessing!!! And sitting in a circle with the fire in the center .... Amazing! When the Tipi is ready we will have a 'Lifting Up Ceremony' and raise the Tipi!!
We have chosen to work with Nomadic Tipi Makers out of Bend Oregon. I have enjoyed working with them and am impressed by the positive energy, videos, website and the woman I spoke with was lovely. They have provided the videos and links below. The listened to what we were looking for and took time to ask what was preferred! So they know what we require and have provided a quote, which will have $420 added for the tan dye so we can paint it.We will also be creating the fire pit and floor which is not included in the quote. The goal is to raise $10,000 and make it right, honoring the ancestors.
Please enjoy the videos from Nomadic Tipi Makers!
If you have any questions please feel free to call the Sanctuary at 530 448 1199 or

What an Amazing Beltane we had!! The land exploded with flowers and our 'Beltane Tree' lit up with roses as it does every Beltane! So Beautiful!!! We had butterflies everywhere we went ... on the ferry at the caver's entrance and exit, looking out the window of the car and at the sanctuary! What a wonder filled sign!
I have created a link because we have so many photos and I wanted to share them without sending a massive email! It was sooooooo amazing and magical!!!
The caverns were amazing and to sing in them and lead meditation was truly sacred and blessed!!!
On the Beltane we traversed the sanctuary's land collecting flowers. Two of the girls made amazing head - hat pieces for us! We danced the Maypole with our intentions and celebrated Spring!!!
May this season bring bright blessings as beautiful as the Mayday flowers!
Be Blessed & Blessed Be,
