Beginning Of Gathering Program, Friday, July 4th - Time to be announced at Dinner - Usually after Dinner - Approx 7:30 p.m. -
Travel Time Between Airports And Location - We Recommend you check Mapquest or Google Maps: Those having to make flight reservations can plan to leave immediately after the gathering or lunch - it's approximately 1 3/4 hrs drive to airports - this is July 4th holiday weekend. Add time for rental returns - shuttle service and recommended "arrival times' by the airlines. Or stay the rest of the day at a nearby motel of your choice. Those driving may want to check out the local Campgrounds at Lockport, MI afterwards as well - but reserve accommodations EARLY. July is a popular month.
**Lake Huron Retreat requires we provide a "Life Guard" on their beach front for swimming, because of that, swimming times will be posted upon arrival. You have unlimited walking beach access and swimming beyond their property. We will have "posted Swim Times" for LHRC property.
If you are a qualified "Life Guard" with current valid Certification please contact: Life Guard Reduced Tuition for more details before you register and make your tuition payment. Contact: I AM A LIFE GUARD
Of Special Note: July 4th weekend is a major holiday for both the U.S.A. and Canada - Be sure to make any 'pre or after trip' hotel/motel or campsite reservations first. Then consider coming for the weekend gathering and continuing up and around all the Great Lakes surrounding Michigan; or if you want to visit Canada (Niagara Falls is about 5 hours East), you will need a valid passport. Blue Water Bridge crossing is at Port Huron, MI - is 12 miles South. Lake Huron Retreat Center is operated by the Methodist community - and welcomes all faiths and all beliefs.

Everything is close for you to walk to our Gathering/Dining buildings from the two sleeping lodges.

Cancellation Policy: Refund (not including any PayPal fees) minus a nominal 'processing fee' of $20. will be gladly issued up to June 18, 2014. Thereafter, because of contractual commitments, no refunds unless someone takes your place. Then refund will be issued 72 hrs after their payment clears our bank. We have committed to making this process as honorable as possible, but because of all our contractual commitments we are limited after a certain date.

(See "Contact Us" In Right Margin), if there is any emergency that alters your attendance after you have Registered. We want you to know, we are always willing to weigh your circumstances in favor of a refund.
As always, "There is never any charge for Ceremony. All tuition funds go to support the teachers, our guests, the community, THOTH and the teachings of don Oscar Miro-Quesada, and the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, and the work of the Chinchaysuyu Council".
Welcome to Michigan - Great Lakes State
We will be 12 miles North of the Port Huron, MI / Sarnia, Ontario, Canada Blue Water Bridge Border Crossing. Canada is to the East of Michigan.
Historical Background And Additional Information:
Editors Note: The Midewiwin Society, is an ancient healing society currently centered in the Great Lake Basin. As with many indigenous cultures, their healing knowledge i.e. "Medicine", is passed forward through the sound of the drum, the song, and the dance. We are honored to host our Relatives on the banks of the Sky Blue Waters of the Great Lake Huron, MI.
And Historically: Midewiwin, sometimes is referred to as the ‘Grand Medicine Society’, is the original spiritual way, and Keepers of the Sacred Knowledge, through songs and ceremonies for the Anishinabe people.
