The Great Lakes Lifeways Institute of Hopkins has decided against having its annual summer Traditional Arts Gathering this year.
In an e-mail to supporters and friends, an Institute spokesperson said:
“After much consideration, we have made the decision to take a year off from hosting the GTLAG. We feel strongly that this event has been a great success and that success has been made possible by the many participants, instructors, staff and volunteers who have dedicated their time, talents, and passion. We believe that traditional arts and knowledge are important and relevant as a source of positive change in our contemporary world.
“We also believe that it is important to pause to reflect on our past work, and to focus our intentions to create the most effective avenues for positive outcomes in the future. Over the next year, we will be working to develop new exciting and meaningful approaches to our work which will directly support the health and well being of individuals and of the land we live on.
“We would like to invite everyone to participate in this important envisioning process by sharing your thoughts, ideas, and perspectives. We do not consider this to be the end of our collective journey, but rather an important moment through which we can intentionally evolve to create the most positive and impactful outcomes possible.
“Thank you all for your continued support and investment. — The GLTAG family and planning team.”
