Blessings...

Lake House Health & Learning Center, birthed on Sept. 6, received a house blessing on the very next day. Our ceremonial leader: David Granados, a medicine man who integrates Native American indigenous spiritual practices.

As David waved the the pungent smoke from the burning sage into the air with his sacred eagle feather, it seemed as if we were clearing out the old energies and ideas. We sprinkled drops of cedar water at every corner of every room, speaking of our dreams for this new house and our own lives.

Now -- after much cleaning, painting and remodeling -- we at Lake House are moving into the new year. Indeed, there have been many blessings with a dedicated contingent of practitioners who have come to this special house as a place where they will offer their skills for healing and learning. There have been many enthusiastic inquiries about what we are creating here, Racine's first integrated health center offering diverse opportunities to learn and grow. There has been generous coverage by The Journal Times, our local newspaper, and curiousity from our neighbors and plaudits from our friends.

We are looking forward to our next house blessing from Didi Ananda Hiteshana, a teacher from India who practices and teaches meditation in the Ananda Marga tradition on Feb. 5. What other blessings await?
