Who We Are
Mystic Pilgrimage to Odanak
Connecting to the Voice of the Earth
Friday, July 17 — Sunday, July 19, 2026
Odanak, Quebec
~ Details are still in development ~
"When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king."
-Tao Te Ching
Intention
This three-day pilgrimage and retreat is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and connect with the vibration of Earth in these changing times.
Together, we travel from Ottawa to the Abenaki community of Odanak, where rivers, forests, and ancestral memory still speak to those who pause to hear them.
Through guided teachings, ceremony, and immersion in the Abanaki Pow Wow, we will open ourselves to the voice of the Earth — the elemental, sacred presence that holds and sustains us.
Our journey honours the original stewards of this territory and offers our own pure intentions to serve as custodians and servants of life, love and wisdom -- offering each participant a contemplative space to renew their bond with creation.
