This week 5

Deer Hill was busy this past weekend hosting three different groups. Led by Enrique
Peredo, Re-evaluation Co-counseling held an international retreat from Thursday through
Sunday. A large group from Charity Baptist Church spent the day on Saturday touring Deer
Hill Center as well as meeting about their future plans. NYC Outward Bound spent Saturday
and Sunday in Ingalls Lodge hosting the Westchester Magnet Academy. Although these
groups varied greatly in their agendas and goals, the weekend was a tremendous success.

Deer Hill hosted The Millionth Circle retreat this past week. Led by Ann Smith, the
group was a pleasure to host and Deer Hill is proud to have been part of this important
work. The Millionth Circle's vision is, "A proliferation of circles with a spiritual center
becomes a worldwide healing force by bringing feminine values of relationship, nurturing,
and interdependency into a global culture in which hierarchy, conflict and competition,
power over others and exploitation of the earth's resources are dominant values. Our aim
is to celebrate the millionth circle as an idea whose time has come". Please click on the

Executive director Colleen Cannon and Deputy Executive Director Al Birnstill have managed Deer Hill
together for 10 years. As of June 1st, Al will be in business for himself, following his entrepreneurial
skills and continuing to evolve his band, Sunface. Colleen will continue as a consultant to the Deer
Hill Board of Directors and looks forward to her next assignment. They are pictured here with
students of the Berkely-Carroll school from Brooklyn, NY visiting Deer Hill Center.

Deer Hill hosted Women Unlimited this past weekend. Led by Lois Seulowitz, a long
time Board member and benefactor, the group was a pleasure to host, as always!
Deer Hill wishes to thank the group for their generous donation to the Center.

Deer Hill was host to three different groups this past weekend. Led by Sharon Kane, The
International Primal Association, a first time user of Deer Hill, stayed in Historic Sherwin House and
used the Loft for their programs. Eric Green with his Young Explorers (a young person's running
group from New York), spent the weekend in Ingalls Lodge. Ann Smith, a leader of The Millionth
Circle, took up residence in our Conference House with a small group of women and stayed through
Tuesday. Deer Hill is grateful to have had the opportunity to host these three wonderful groups and to
have been part of their diverse agendas and goals.
