Mother Bear Sanctuary and Retreat Center

Mother Bear Sanctuary and Retreat Center An animal sanctuary and retreat center that fosters connections to your body, nature & each other Fostering connections between animals, people, and the Earth.

Mother Bear Sanctuary’s Mission is to remind people of their innate connections to their bodies, the Earth, all animals, and each other and to inspire joy and service to a new paradigm of sustainable living that allows all people and animals to thrive. Care for our future generations and the larger narrative is part of the maturity of consciousness: we are ALL parents. A common anthropological characteristic of all advanced mammalian species who survive and thrive is the fierce behavior on the part of an adult female of the species when she senses a threat to the cubs. Our complacency about the immense suffering is a sickness. Moral outrage is not born of anger… it is born of Love.---Marianne Williamson lecture, “The Art of Aligning Body and Soul”

Please note Mother Bear Sanctuary is also our home. ---Please come only by appointment or at scheduled events---

Renee Nicole Good’s murder by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has left millions of Americans wondering how we can stop ICE from terrorizing our communities any further.

There are many well-known ICE-fighting tactics that we can and should use, like protests, know-your-rights trainings, and neighborhood watches.

Make sure you take time to pause, re center and act from your heart.
Watch my previous posted video

Come to the movie tomorrow
Or boycott business that support ICE

But two recent victories show a promising, relatively underutilized path forward—one that deserves to be pursued further: We can target businesses that work with ICE.
More info in the link to the article, which is in the comments.

In addition do the inner work to infuse love into all your activism. It matters to your health and the collective energetic effect

How do you become an activist
without turning your heart into a battlefield?
How do you stand for justice
without feeding the fire that consumes us all?

Force alone fractures the world
love aligned with wisdom reshapes it.

How do you create real change in the world
without feeding the very systems of harm you’re trying to dismantle?

True activism doesn’t begin with outrage alone.
It begins with listening.
With being guided rather than reactive.
With learning how to move from clarity instead of collapse.

At about 2 minutes in I answer these questions
And offer a powerful process

(Please pardon my spelling of Ahimsa. Mountain elevation brain!)

Anger can wake us up.
But anger without grounding burns out the nervous system
and recreates the same power-over dynamics we’re trying to heal.

What if activism looked like: • deep presence
• embodied listening
• wise action rooted in compassion
• courage that doesn’t abandon a love of ALL people

Anger may knock on the door,
but it is discernment that decides how we move.
Do not strike the darkness.
Become the lamp.

What is worth having
asks for a tender effort,
not the kind that strains the soul
or pulls you away from yourself,
but the kind that keeps you rooted
in your own holy center.

For when effort becomes too much,
we abandon the Beloved within,
and the thread of intimacy
with Self
grows thin.

Join me in a year shaped by devotion,
by gentleness, by courage held together.

I invite you to a free Facebook Live,
6:00–6:45, on Barbra White Crow page
a small sanctuary of presence
in a time of great chaos.

Now
more than ever—
we must gather in circles of inclusivity,
practice radical self-love,
and hold the vision of a healed humanity
as one holds a flame in the dark:
with reverence, steadiness,
and trust that the light knows what it is doing.

Email me at motherbearsanctuary@gmail.com for zoom link- if you'd like to join Thursdays in 2026.
Radical Self Love and Intuitive development
January 15th and 22nd are free.
February

💛 A Gentle Note About Feeding Birds 🐦

Most of us offer bread to birds out of love and kindness. It feels natural to share what we have. 💞
The hard part is that bread fills birds up without giving them the nutrition they need. When birds feel “full,” they may stop foraging for real food, which can lead to malnutrition—especially for babies. Uneaten bread can also mold and harm waterways and habitats.

If you’d like to help birds thrive, here are healthier, bird-friendly options:

🌻 Seeds (sunflower seeds are a favorite)
🥜 Unsalted nuts (crushed peanuts, almonds)
🍎 Small pieces of fruit (apples, berries, grapes—no seeds)
🌽 Cracked corn or oats (plain, uncooked)
🪱 Mealworms (especially helpful in winter and spring)
🥬 Leafy greens (for ducks and geese—chopped)

A little shift in what we offer can make a big difference in their health and longevity.
Thank you for caring about our feathered neighbors and the ecosystems that support them. 🌿✨
