Dawn James

Dawn James

Dawn James will tell you there are only two chapters in her adult life.

 Chapter one  - she was a wife, mother and corporate executive working over two decades in finance, human resources and information technology. Chapter one came to an abrupt end when she had a near death experience in the hospital.

 A few years later she received a profound message in a dream, delivered by known psychic Sylvia Browne, which ignited Dawn’s writing career.

 Dawn has assimilated her knowledge and research on the connections between vibrational frequency, health and consciousness now expressed in her new book Raise Your Vibration Transform Your Life, which is dedicated to Sylvia Browne. Dawn enjoys teaching by way of lectures, workshops, radio and TV and travels the world-- educating and inspiring others to live a stress free, healthy and conscious life.

David Labbe

David Labbe

David Labbe is the grandson of people who came to the Niagara area from Quebec, Labrador and Romania during the 1920's. These people were of Innu, Romanian and a sprinkling of Quebec French. It is because of the Innu connection that David began volunteering at The Fort Erie Native Friendship Centre some 18 years ago. This turned into a job as the Pow wow coordinator and he has been there since. 

During David's time there he has been involved with many Elder's, Teacher's and helper's. From these people he has expanded on the knowledge he received from a few members of his family who were willing to talk about these things. He has also attended Brock University in the Bachaelor of Education certificate course in Adult Aboriginal Education and Aboriginal Addiction Counsellor course at George Brown College, and many training sessions through his work.

David is a Pipe Carrier, a Drum Keeper and he sings with the Drum group, O:Niakara from the Niagara area. Because of all the gifts given freely to him, David began giving back to his community and others some twelve years ago. He now feels it is time to open up these avenues to a broader  community and so he offers to those who are in need or who are ready, assistance with the following services; Teachings on the use of the four main Medicines in daily life; Medicine Wheel teachings; Seven Grandfather Teachings; Talking or Sharing Circles for self discovery and the beginnings of healing; Assisted fasts and vision quest; Inipi Lodge ceremony; Pipe ceremony; Calming or clearing of buildings or areas using Native smudge ceremony; Animal totem partnerships and divination; Naming ceremony.

David was given a name by one of his teachers, Alex Kakapshe. His name is Migise Bimise inini, which roughly means Eagle (migise), flies he does (bimise inini). The Eagle being one that Creator listens to & confides in as a messenger and also being one who possesses great vision from the height that he can fly to. This allows Eagle to see all paths and hence to give guidance to those who need it and to commend those who are staying on their path.

David may be contacted at migisebimise@gmail.com or labbedave@hotmail.com  for assistance regarding any of the above services
