Weekend Highlights

Remembering our Sister and Priestess, Nora Cedarwind.

Our dear Sister, Mother, Grandmother, Wild Woman – our Priestess Nora has left our earthly world and moved on to her next incarnation. Her darling and loving husband has shared that Nora has a cardboard cremation container that everyone had painted & decorated 6 years ago when we first thought she was passing. We had it at Lee & Elaine’s for a few days and people would stop in and add some art-work and blessings. If you knew Nora and were touched by her, you are welcome to write, or bring something to place in this box (burnable) – it can be a letter or what-ever you feel you’d like to send to her.

I know many of you will say goodbye in your own way and time and that makes sense. I’m so very grateful to have a chance where we can share in those memories as well, so on Friday, July 19th in the afternoon at 4pm at Summerstar, we will honor Nora and spend time remembering her beautiful soul.

Nora was and remains such an integral part Summerstar and her influence and wisdom, her radiant smile and oh… her laughter, her laughter!… I can hear it now… it echoes in my mind and we’re going to send her and remember her with such Love and Joy! Even if you can’t attend all of Summertar, if you’d like to share, you are more than welcome to attend on Friday – we ask that you please RSVP and let Miria know that you’re coming-there’s no fee or anything.

R&R & Music & Talent

We are delighted to welcome Skyla Kate on Friday evening after our Talent Show and we welcome back Waterwitch, Elizabeth Hummel, Brian Castillo & Robin Toye. Waterwitch will be releasing their new CD on Sunday, June 30th at Octapas in Olympia – head over to their FB page for all details. You can also follow Skyla Kate on her FB page.

Waterwitch		While living in San Diego, Elizabeth won “Best Acoustic Artist,” and performed in the Lilith Fair. She has released eight albums on Brew Records, and continues to write and record. Now in Olympia Washington, she performs often, tours occasionally, and hosts a twice monthly concert series called Waterwitch Presents. Elizabeth has composed hundreds of timeless tunes, with lyrics inspired by myths, nature, and just living. On stage she is funny and real, playing guitar, banjo, and Appalachian dulcimer to accompany a pure and authentic voice. Elizabeth’s music reflects her heritage and speaks to the heart about what really matters.
Talent Show!		Come share a song or two! The Cadre has a little something up their sleeves as well!
Skyla Kate		“She lost herself in the trees among the ever-changing leaves. She wept beneath the wild sky as stars told stories of ancient times. The flowers grew towards her light, the river called her name at night. She could not live a normal life with the mysteries of the universe hidden in her eyes.”
