July 27 Newsletter

Clearing a New Path™ and Clearing a New Path Podcast™ are products of Radar Media, located in Dorchester, Ontario on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Neutral peoples who once used this land as their traditional beaver hunting grounds.  As a settler here I’m committed to deepening understanding of Indigenous communities and reframing responsibilities to land and community. I am grateful to Mother Earth for the opportunity for love and connection and to the spirits of the Elders and the Medicine People who still walk the Earth.

THIS WEEK

This week, Indigenous Elder, Cindy Crowe joins me. She is a Lodgekeeper, a tourism business operator, an author and an identity and purpose coach. We talk about her breakdown (which she calls her breakthrough), her road to her Indigenous identity, Spirit Guides and what some of them mean and listening to Spirit/Creator/Universe for guidance.

well worth a listen

Cindy is hosting a retreat in September! The newsletter this week is a short one. I've fallen ill for the first time in about 3 years! Many tests keep telling me it's not COVID but I have a nasty cough and terribly sore throat. I'm also taking the week off next week, relaxing and regenerating my brain and my energy to plan the next season of the podcast, as well as some other events and projects. (See below)My out of office for next week was inspired by Katherine Goldstein at the Double Shift. Feel free to borrow/edit/use:

In a society that undervalues our existence and our labour, woman-identifying entrepreneurs taking time and space away from paid work is an act of survival and a political rebellion. I am away from the computer and will not be checking email until August 8, 2022. I'll get back to you when I return.

I'm working with a group of amazing post-secondary students this summer on a project that will at least 'poke the bear' of capitalism and colonialism here in Canada. We should be able to release details within the first few weeks of September.And please 'Save the Date' for our next Virtual Town Hall: Chambers of Commerce: Where does inclusion fit? It will take place (virtually) on Wednesday, August 24 from 4-6 p.m. Eastern Time

I'll be joined by folks from the Canadian Women's Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce, as well as some special guests. You'll also get a sneak peak at the project the students are working on!

What is Buy Me A Coffee? Buy Me a Coffee is a crowdfunding company that lets independent creators collect donations or financial contributions from supporters. There are two options - which do I select? On the podcast and newsletter Buy Me a Coffee page you can choose two options: ‘membership’ or ‘support’. Support is a one time contribution and Membership is a monthly contribution to a membership community.
