Mother Bear Sanctuary and Retreat Center

Mother Bear Sanctuary and Retreat Center An animal sanctuary and retreat center that fosters connections to your body, nature & each other Fostering connections between animals, people, and the Earth.

Mother Bear Sanctuary’s Mission is to remind people of their innate connections to their bodies, the Earth, all animals, and each other and to inspire joy and service to a new paradigm of sustainable living that allows all people and animals to thrive. Care for our future generations and the larger narrative is part of the maturity of consciousness: we are ALL parents. A common anthropological characteristic of all advanced mammalian species who survive and thrive is the fierce behavior on the part of an adult female of the species when she senses a threat to the cubs. Our complacency about the immense suffering is a sickness. Moral outrage is not born of anger… it is born of Love.---Marianne Williamson lecture, “The Art of Aligning Body and Soul”

Please note Mother Bear Sanctuary is also our home. ---Please come only by appointment or at scheduled events---

“People speak sometimes about the "be***al" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”

You ARE NATURALLY PSYCHIC but possibly don't it. WHY? The ability to feel and understand animals, the land, the Angels, your healed ancestors… this is a natural response to being available and at home within yourself. We’ve labeled it as psychic or special, yet from an ecopsychological and Indigenous lens it is simply what a grounded awake human does when they are no longer exiled from their own senses.

I often find it interesting that I have to use certain words because they draw people in, but the actual experience is nothing more, nothing less, than coming back into kinship with Life/Nature/God. The miraculous re-discovered in your high receptivity to what's already Within and Around You.

(And at times, it takes great courage to choose to be ALIVE and available to Life/God/Nature on the daily, while in pain or facing a life issue.
It's why inner work is rebellion to circumstances, or cultural hate.)

The ability to be one with Life, is a sign of health. It is the soft return to the evolutionary impulse, the rooted felt-knowing of Grace.

Grace not as hopeful thought or dogma, but as your surrendered breath, meeting what already IS, and what wants to emerge through YOU.

The body is a gateway to the animate Earth, and sanity requires relationship with the living web. It is tuning yourself to the frequency of your own becoming versus the opinions of others.
