Aani, welcome to our site and home of
The White Bear Standing Healing Lodge & Creative Centre
The "White Bear Standing Healing Lodge & Creative Centre" is a vision held by Sherry Crawford for many years. In 1994, Sherry became aware of the fact she had no 'spiritual' beliefs or religion that was right for her and began to quest for information. During the late 90's, she discoverd Meditation, Self-Healing, Wholistic Medicine and many other very interesting 'ways of being'. She studied many religions, spending hours online, reading books and attending info sessions. She started her healing journey by attending drumming circles, sweat lodge, full-moon ceremony, shaking tent ceremony and many other wonderful information sessions and workshops whenever and whereever she could find them. After returning to school and obtaining a degree in Social Work in 2005 she became very aware of her 'missing' piece --, her native roots and spiritual beliefs. She realized there was this "missing piece" for many people she met and set her goal to help others to find their roots or at least give them a place to come to learn and heal!
Sherry is currently fundraising to secure enough funds to 'build' this much needed
'Traditional Healing Facility' that will offer services for anyone and everyone who is ready to take control of their lives and get on the 'Good Red Road' to health and happiness!
The White Bear Standing Healing Lodge & Creative Centre currently facilitates:
(personally developed for your classroom or boardroom)
(in home sessions / sharing circles)
(hands on or off)
(Guided Meditations)
(Create, Draw, Paint - Express/Release!)
These services are offered in my home or your home / business. All materials included! Workshops offered at various locations!!
At the White Bear Standing Healing Lodge & Creative Centre we respectfully welcome ALL races and religions. We offer spiritual insights and share valuable information to help those wanting to live a more simple, respectful & abundant life!
The traditional teachings we offer in our workshops are from the Ojiibwe culture that Sherry has been gifted with over the years through various ceremonies, information sessions and workshops. As 'traditional teachings' vary from community to community, Sherry has asked Creator for guidance and is honored to share the teachings and gifts that have helped her on her journey and therefore this valuable information is shared with respect and humility in our Fun & Educational Workshops!
We share teachings on 'The Talking Stick' .. why and how to use it!
We share teachings on 'The Medicine Wheel - 4 Directions'
