We believe in tolerance and acceptance at Silver Birch Grove and as such have some standards we follow:

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional caretakers of the land we meet on. The gatherings we enjoy so much are held on land they lived on for thousands of years before white settlement. We pay our respects to their elders – past, present and emerging – and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within the community.

Thanks for accepting me back here. I joined ADF at the same time I started my OBOD Ovate study - not a great idea and together with 2020 being such a ridiculous year, I never really got going. I’m well settled into the Ovate work, and for me, it’s a good time to start the Dedicant path. There’s much I love and appreciate in both paths.

A Call for Healing

To those in need,
We hold our hands
Like an open cup,
To bring blessings to you.

May the Waters
Of the Ancestors
Rise to cleanse
And surround you.

More

May the Winds
Of the Middle Realm
Chase all illness
Away from you.

May the Fires
Of the Shining Ones
Burn any infirmity
Away from you.

May the Earth Mother
Give you the strength
Of tenacity
As your body heals.

May Inspiration
Power you forward
In these challenging times
As your body heals.

May the blessings
From my hands
Be yours
Today and always.

May it be so!
