“I am writing to thank you for creating a life affirming / life changing experience for my daughter, Lillian Timpson, who attended Hawk Circle. Lillian had a wonderful experience. She enjoyed meeting new people, being nurtured and encouraged by cool, caring adults, she loved living in community and being part of creating the community experience. She enjoyed learning new skills and discovering new aspects of herself. She was challenged, and supported to meet the challenge. I appreciate that you offer an alternative experience for young people in which they are empowered and supported to move beyond their comfort zone. Lillian speaks reverantly about her Hawk Circle experience. She loved the rhythm and ritual. Lilian has experienced the ups and downs of the teen years and Hawk Circle grounded her. Thank you, not only for what you have given Lilian, but for what you have given to countless children and our precious Mother: Earth.

With best wishes for the coming year…”
