Gateway: Moments of arriving

Hosting begins well before the guests arrive. How to prepare for the moment when your guests first step out of one world and into another? In this episode, we hear stories of preparing, arriving and welcoming at the gate.

shalan joudry speaks of welcoming visitors to Stone Bear Tracks in Bear River First Nation and Margaret Drescher talks about her own first arrival at Windhorse on the South Shore. In Unama’ki/Cape Breton, Amber Buchanan brings the Gaelic ceilidh to life and Elder Albert Marshall reminds us of what is most important when planning any gathering. We end with “For Those Who Have Forgotten Humility,” written and spoken by shalan joudry.
