Shelley walks with the quiet strength of her name, Bear Paw Woman. A mother of two boys and a lifelong advocate for workplace safety, inclusion, and care, she has dedicated her life to helping others feel seen and protected.

Now, as she lives and learns with a rare form of ovarian cancer, it is her time to rest in the same love she has always given. Her journey is guided by courage, medicine, and community, the teachings that remind us that healing happens in a circle. Through Circle for Shelley, we walk beside her with warmth, hope, and heart.

The colours that shape this space hold deep meaning:

Sunlight gold - carries warmth, generosity, and the energy of life.

Cedar green- grounds the spirit and brings balance through the medicine of the land. 

Rose - is the colour of love, healing, and gentle care, a reminder of the heart’s strength and tenderness. 

Together they form a palette of renewal, guiding this circle with light, earth, and compassion. When you enter this space, may these colours surround you with peace, belonging, and the steady heartbeat of hope.
