DEEP WISDOM Embrace the Knowing of Nature The world is made up of interconnectedness that binds us to nature. Our well-being depends on discovering, with reverence, the vastness and depth of our spiritual connection to all forms of life: plants, animals, trees, rocks, dirt, fungi, mountains, streams, clouds, sky, wind, rain, insects, and birds. This is an experience ingrained in who we are, but over time we have forgotten the value of this relationship. The combined medicine of a sacred place in nature and wisdom traditions is a potent antidote to the alienation the fast-paced world has taken on our quality of life. Blue Deer Center is an extraordinary place that returns us to our intuitive relationship with nature. The center is nestled in the Catskill Mountains of New York on ninety-three acres of sacred land, with the River of Peace (Saskawhihiwine) running through it. This land has been known for millennia to offer unique medicine where conflict is resolved. Blessed things happen here that cannot happen even a short distance away. Here, people come from all over the world to immerse in Blue Deer’s programs—a place to pause the struggle of everyday life to restore, connect with our spirits, and ultimately find balance in our lives by reawakening our deepest knowing of nature. Our Mission As an expression of sacred fire, Blue Deer offers a home for shared experiences of transformation and healing by embracing the knowing of the natural world. Our Vision We see a way of life where Ancestral Wisdom connects self, community, and the natural world. Blue Deer is a non-profit 501 c (3) Tax ID 22-3741704
