the Sun and the Wind - Event Hosting
 

This page is for folks who would like to host an event.
This could be a house concert, a community or school presentation. I really do not know at this point what these performances or presentations would look like. Some music for sure, stories from the long ride quite likely too.
So possibly then part music, part storytelling and connect with the quest to find a deeper connection with the wild natural world. Talks and other presentations could follow a number of forms, including simply about the challenges and joys of long distance horse travel. Schools & youth groups would be most welcome! Take off day is May 31 2012 or so.

Below are two images that can be used as posters if you wish. There is white space to write in information either by hand or on a computer for those with some graphics savvy. They are both 8 1/2 X 11. One verticle, the other horizontal. Clicking on the image will take you to a full size version.

Currently, the planned path will take me from Grasslands Nat'l Park area following the Frenchman River into Alberta, possibly by way of the Cypress hills, continuing west and south, along the Milk River, Writing on Stone and on. Once I get to the Pincher Creek area of Alberta, I will head north via the foothills and front ranges of the Rocky Mountains to the Banff area.

By neccesity, events will need to be close to my route as the journey progresses, the path of which will be partly determined by the events that are booked.

The long distance ride on horseback will be primarily funded by money raised during these events. In the past, I have simply made attendance as a 'free will offering' as they say out east. It seems a good way to go about it and I will likely go with that.

"In the very earliest time, when both people and animals lived on earth,
a person could become an animal if he wanted to
and an animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people and sometimes animals and there was no difference.
All spoke the same language.
That was the time when words were like magic.
The human mind had mysterious powers.
A word spoken by chance might have strange consequences.
It would suddenly come alive and what people wanted to happen could happen – all you had to do was say it.
Nobody could explain this.
That’s the way it was."
