It is 130 acres of rolling hills\, grassy fields\, sage brush meadows\, and piñon and juniper forest. The land is populated by ample wildlife – especially Deer. We will have have the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the land and facilities including: \nThe House with Kitchen and dining area\, Meeting Space with a beautiful wood floor and windows\, shower house\, a wood-stove fired sauna/steam room big enough for about 20 people that Deer Hill uses for ceremony\, a small office / lounge space\, and accommodations that include 40 acres of open space for camping\, camp-like bunks\, indoor loft\, and cabins. \nDeer Hill is a small adventure and community Service program that provides wilderness expeditions and cultural exchange to 150 participants each summer and 20-30 organizations throughout the year. Founders Doug and Beverly Capelin built Deer Hill’s Basecamp in Mancos\, Colorado.  The land is at the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains\, and a stone’s throw from the rivers and canyons of southeast Utah. Over the past 30 years\, the Capelins have built strong relationships with families and community leaders in the Navajo Nation\, Ute Tribe and Hopi and Zuni pueblos. Deer Hill’s programs are built on the kind of intimate relationships with people and places that take time and dedication to create. \nDeer Hill is in the Four Corners region of the Southwestern United States in the transition zone between the San Juan Mountains and the Canyonlands of Utah. Is about 30 minutes from Durango\, CO and 20 minutes from Cortez\, CO.  Albuquerque is about 4 hours away. Denver\, Phoenix\, and Salt Lake are between 6 and 7 hours away.

SUMMARY:Virtual Basecamp: Origins of the Wilderness Guides Council
DESCRIPTION:Join us around the virtual fire\nas we listen to the stories of three elders\nwho were there at the very beginning\nof the Wilderness Guides Council —\nRon Pevny\, Marilyn Hendee\,\nand a guest recording of Meredith Little\n(made especially for this event). \nOn April 16th we will have a special Virtual Basecamp\, in which stories of the origins of the Wilderness Guides Council will be told. With its roots in that seminal gathering in the Saline Valley of California in which 26 vision fast guides and supporters came together to network\, share experiences and explore possibilities for collaborating in bringing this transformative work to greater number of people in need of meaningful rites of passage\, the WGC evolved from an amorphous concept to the vital agent for cultural change that it is today. \nHow did that happen? What were and continue to be the opportunities and challenges\, issues and synergies that have made the WGC a unique collective of cultural change agents guiding others to a deep connection with the natural world within and without? Several of those pioneers whose work helped birth and sustain the WGC will tell stories and answer questions in what is sure to be a fascinating Virtual Basecamp. \nPresented by Ron Pevny (Center for Conscious Eldering) and Marilyn Hendee (sister of Steven Foster and WGC Netkeeper 1994-2001) \nTo Obtain the Zoom Link for this Gathering\, please email the WGC Netkeepers at: wgcnetkeeper@gmail.com\nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:8th Wilderness Guides Global Gathering
DESCRIPTION:After two years of not being able to gather\, we are beyond excited to invite our global community together again at beautiful Bearskin Meadows in the southern Sierra mountains of California.\n\nAs we face the great challenges of climate change\, recovery from a global pandemic\, and the rising awareness of inequity on our planet\, we come together to ask “What new world is arising\, and what is our role as rites of passage guides in this extraordinary time of change?”.\n\nA good portion of time will be spent in simply re-connecting to old friends and making new ones\, to re-affirm our personal bonds as community and hear each others’ stories.\n\nAnd we will sit in Circle together\, play and dance\, speak to shadow and grief\, share our gifts via workshops and member offerings\, and vision together the future we wish to co-create. It is an opportunity to network and to be inspired and enriched\, both as guides and as supporters of this work.\n\n\n\nThe Andy Gardner Memorial Scholarship application deadline has been extended to April 30th.  This scholarship is specifically for partners of gathering participants that would like to attend the gathering with their loved one. To learn more about this scholarship and to submit an application link here: Andy Gardner Memorial Scholarship.\n\nThe date of equal consideration for general scholarships has passed.
