Party Tonight, Friday April 14th 7pm-2am

One last reminder for the party Friday, tomorrow night!!! Look forward to seeing you! It's going to be a great time. Much Love, LJ P.S. - the following info on EKWH will be provided at the party, but i thought you might like to know a little about this place I love so much before you come to the benefit party for it. Maybe it will inspire you to come, to the party to support EKWH or, to EKWH itself. There is a sweat lodge schedule below.

EHK-WHEH-HEH-WEH CENTER FOR LEARNING
2323 PRINTUP RD. Sanborn, NY 14132
TUSCARORA NATION

Ehk-Wheh-Heh-Weh translates as "All the People." The learning center, EKWH for short, was founded in the late 1980's by the Printup family with Tahwehdahqui as the individual responsible for leading the way. Ever since embarking upon a 20 day fast atop a hill in Central New York he has been dedicated to a spiritual path of responsibility and unconditional love. His mission is to bring peace and harmony to the world one mind at a time. He has been teaching others this path via sweat lodges, gatherings and classes for almost 20 years.
Currently the center is going through an unprecedented phase of growth and transformation with many of his students taking on leadership roles. Several of us have been investing our time, talent and energy into the center for many years. This evening's fundraiser is targeted toward generating resources to renovate and build new facilities. We broke ground for construction of a bathroom last summer and need a substantial financial commitment for targeted completion by this summer.
I could easily write a book on my personal experiences on the land over the past 9 years, but for the purposes of this informational piece I will keep it brief. I had the honor of participating in my first sweat lodge a month after graduating from college in January of 1997. I have since been attending sweat lodges, an ancient ceremony of purification for mind, body and spirit. I rarely miss one on a monthly basis. I will be pouring my first in a series of lodges April 30th. I have also been taking a class from Tahwehdahqui since March 2001 and have been enjoying an increasing degree of peace, harmony and prosperity in my life ever since. We invite you to come visit us anytime, pitch in with your unique talent and experience for yourself first hand the magic and medicine of this land and community. – Sean Kennedy

There are lodges at the gatherings, as well as a Native Social Dance on Saturday night of the June gathering. All EKWH events are drug and alcohol free. In my experience they are also uplifting, rejuvenating, fulfilling, healing, and lots of fun! Gatherings are also run on a donation basis- Come camp out, and bring food to donate to the kitchen. There is a work day April 22, 2006 from noon - ?. We'd love your help! Your welcome to come out and have fun working with us! Thanks for coming and supporting my home away from home - EKWH!

elwmood community shared space

Let's come together and support each other. I'm being inspired to get this thing going. There is a beautiful big space available on Breckenridge near the corner of Elmwood. There's a room where we could teach classes - yoga, meditation, nutrition / raw foods, personal growth, emotional healing workshops, etc... , and there is a healing room where we could do - massage therapy, reiki, energy work, acupuncture, counseling, life coaching, tarot readings, etc... There are so many possibilities... We could have one night a week for an art exibit with live music or poetry or both. What is that thing you've been wanting to do all this time but didn't have a space to do it in? What is that gift you have that you haven't been sharing? It's time to share your gifts. Let's come together and support each other. Let's create a Community Space / resource center / networking group. We could put together a monthly newsletter and advertise together. There's all kinds of possibilities. You could teach music lessons, singing, crocheting, knitting... you could offer darma talks, do inspirational speaking, teach abundance classes....

If you are inspired by this email and are interested in possibly becoming part of a cooperative effort to create a community space CALL ME, Laura Jean, at 716 465-7408. Or email but if you call me that's one step closer to making this happen. If we get 6 committed people together, we each only have to pay $50 a month! Depending on what you do, you can make that back in an hour or two, and you'd have one day a week to do your thing!

When I get a small group together that is interested there will be a meeting to make this happen. This is your chance to SHINE.

For as long as I'm in Buffalo, I want to do all I can do here ("be all I can be" ). This is a big step. Let's do it together. Let's support each other and make Buffalo a brighter while we do it!

Much Love and Light,
Laura Jean
