What our sisTERS arE sAYING

“I looked at pictures of our time together and discovered  one picture with my head thrown back and laughing—deep, surrendered laughing—something I have not seen and experienced in a long time. That was not a surviving laugh. It was thriving ,but it was rooted in playfulness, community, and immersing ourselves in the elements and in basic nature skills."

Sherilyn Long

Survival Sisterhood is dedicated to my dear friend, Colette Chavez-Walker, an eclectic miracle healer in her own right. She took control of her own recovery program and healed herself from Breast Cancer and then again with Bone Cancer. With strength, courage and unwavering belief in her body's ability to heal, and constant visualization of wellness, she survived long enough to watch me on TV. I dedicated my ALONE journey to her and in turn, she became my inspiration to endure 75 days in Labrador. She wanted to help me start Sacred Cedars Wilderness School, and she would be proud to see Survival Sisterhood blossom into a network of women supporting women.​
