Grand River walk postponed...

It is with recognition that the Grand River walk will happen at the right time, that I am announcing that the walk for 2011 has been postponed indefinitely.  These water adventures are based on messages that I receive during shamanic journeys, and the information that I have been given is that at this time, I am to focus on skillbuilding so that I will be better prepared for the Grand River Walk when it happens.  I am now looking at June 2012 for the Grand River Walk, and until then, I am following the guidance that I receive from deep within.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to connect with the Water that sustains us.

There are still many things that are going on in preparation for the Grand River Walk, and I would like to share with you a video that has been created.  It is the first in a series that was shot by the wonderful and talented Virginia Bowman

Grand River Water walk update ~ How supporting the walk may benefit you

During the Maitland River walk, there were so many benefits for me, that I thought that I would begin early to discuss the possible benefits for people if they were to become involved in the Grand River walk this year.

ANNOUNCING... Water Walk #2 for June 2011!

Who: Heidi Burrowes (contact person) and others
heidibearca@yahoo.ca  If connecting by email please put “Grand River Water Walk” as subject
What: walking 275 km along the Grand Valley Trail
See website for more information about trail: http://www.gvta.on.ca/
When: Thu, June 9th ~ Sat, June 25th 17 days
Where:

The Trail(s)

The main Grand Valley Trail is a marked footpath stretching about 275 km between Port Maitland (42.866035,-79.565699) [near Rock Point Provincial Park] on Lake Erie, south of Dunnville to the town of Alton (43.860379,-80.068796), near Orangeville. A hiker can identify the main Grand Valley Trail by the white blazes approximately 5 cm wide by 15 cm high. For more information about the main trail, blazing, side trails, connecting trails (e.g. Avon and Bruce Trails), parking, camping and the trail user's code, we encourage you to purchase a copy of the GVTA Guidebook (cost & where to get copies). Please note that profits from the sale of the Guidebook are used for the purchase of trail maintenance materials such as pressure treated lumber & used to build foot bridges, boardwalks, box culverts and so on. (taken from the Grand Valley Trail website)

Why: The Grand River is calling for connection and healing. The river is more than the water that flows through it. Walking the trail allows time for recognition of the needs of the river, and connects people more fully to all of the elements.

How: Calling out for a team!!!!

This would be a team of ~

• walkers and/or spiritual workers to take some time to connect with the Grand River.
• Videography team
• Drivers
• Preparation team
• Media Relations
• figuring out how to outfit walkers
• more info to come soon!
