I have been in correspondence with Anne Thomas, contact person for the Earthkeepers Dance. She shared that Tracy Younce will not be the Ceremonial Leader of the dance. I thought folks would want to know. Tracy is the most peaceful person I have ever met. A sincere medicine person, who I hope continues to lead ceremonies for the people. Vickie

Hi Vickie,
Sitting at a cyber cafe computer as we wait for our clothes to dry at the laundromat…. thought I take a moment to answer you.
We are still in Minnesota, enjoying the wilderness. We continue as earthkeepers, doing the ceremonies we signed on for. This year was the year of the Ceremonial People for the Earthkeepers Dance. It is our 7th year with the number 7 representing coming full circle. So all of us are the Ceremonial Leaders this year in honor of our completing the Sacred Hoop.
Dave, Janisse and I will continue leading earthkeeper ceremonies as we dance in Appreciation of Mother Earth and the Ancestors who ride the winds.
…we have been enjoying the calls of the wild as the geese, loons, moose, owls and wolves sing a symphony while the ancestors dance in the sky.
I’ll be posting more when we get back.
Hugs, Tracy
