I was privileged to be invited to the Walking In Beauty annual dance to support the women in the culmination and celebration of their year long journey. It was truly beautiful to witness the strength and determination of this group of women as they danced and prayed and I felt extremely honoured to be invited into the circle to dance with them. Later that evening we moved into the tipi to prepare ourselves for the fire walk, something I had never experienced before. I was a little apprehensive but I needn't have worried, with the support of all my brothers and sisters drumming and cheering me on I boldly walked across the burning hot embers. Wow, what an amazing experience, so empowering and life affirming, I still can't quite believe I did it!

So, thank you Diane and Russell, to all the dancers and everyone who helped to make this such a special occasion. May all your prayers be answered as you Walk in Beauty, together, side by side, Aho xxx
