I feel deeply grateful for Cindy's warm hearted wisdom that has created an environment that has allowed me to see and embody my gifts with the courage to step into my full potential!

I was interested in Cindy Crowe's Identity and Purpose Guide program because of a wish to learn more about Indigenous spirituality and community. This experience has taken me on a journey I never imagined!

Cindy has gently and intuitively challenged me to let go of limited beliefs about myself, fostering the courage to step into new opportunities and possibilities. I had no idea that I would be looking at a career change and questioning many of the assumptions I've made about who I am and what I'm looking for in life.

Cindy's guidance has given me the confidence and clarity to step into my life purpose with intention and the traditional Indigenous knowledge and ceremony has supported and deepened my process of self discovery.

She is very responsive and amazing to talk too.

Cindy is an amazing spirit, your workshop was such a blessing for me, I did the vision board and made a lot of realizations, a lot of emotions came up. It's such a powerful grounding tool that you shared with us. I encourage everyone to take up a workshop with Cindy, her presence heals.


Thank you for shining your bright light.


Your light, helps my light shine, it leads me home.

Cindy holds space with so much care and wisdom. We are so grateful for the sacred circles she held with our volunteers, it helped us deepen connections with both Indigenous and settler participants.

Janice E.

Working with Cindy has been very enlightening for me. She is incredibly knowledgable, passionate and authentic. I felt so comfortable working with her.

Kate T.

Cindy facilitated two events for my organization and both events were very fulfilling experiences. Cindy is a very compassionate and competent coach and guide, who created a safe and calm space for all participants. This was a mixed group with many different ages, backgrounds, and locations, and yet we all came away feeling more connected and more purpose-driven than ever. Thank you Cindy!

Andrea P.

Thank you so much, Cindy, for sharing this ceremony with our volunteer group, I think everyone had a great experience. Climate justice work is tireless and draining, and the sharing circle you led was so energizing and grounding. These sacred spaces are so important for both Indigenous and settler folks. Thank you for making it accessible for people.

We had the pleasure of having Cindy Crowe host our Indigenous Perspectives In Early Child Care Programs online workshop. Cindy really listened when we explained what we were looking for in this workshop. She customized the workshop to meet our needs and target our clientele. Cindy is a professional but at the same time makes you feel like you've known her for years. At the end of the workshop the staff felt they learned so much and were asking to have future sessions to learn more!


We are so glad our paths crossed and we are looking forward to having Cindy host future workshops!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Cindy!

Donna C.

I had a wonderful workshop with Cindy. I felt connected and can share and learn about our culture. I enjoyed the smudging and passing the feather and conversation. Chi- Miigwech

The retreat was absolutely incredible! The music, activities and indigenous teachings were absolutely amazing. The food was great too as you have a choice for vegan food as well, shelter accommodations were comfy and not too cold, good size. Spiritually and psychologically speaking, I got exactly what I needed. Cindy is a very warm, caring, bright and beautiful soul. I cannot say miigwech enough! Excited to go back in September!

Standing Strong (Cindy Crowe) from Neebing, (Niibing in her language) is Anishnaabe (First Nations) from Ontario Canada. She is an Elder, Lodge Keeper, Story Teller, Spiritual Intuitive, Guide and Teacher. She shares her knowledge with you that you might see things through her indigenous lens. She is a gracious guide and teacher welcoming people from all walks of life and countries to come and spend time on the sacred land she lives. The land is over 140 acres and wildlife abound. This beautiful destination is only 20 minutes driving time from the border of USA and Canada just above Minnesota. Thunder Bay is the small airport I flew in to attend her June 2025 gathering. It helped me to get back in touch with the wisdom inside of myself and forge a path back to my authenticity from attending her event. If you have ever been interested in knowing more of the Indigenous cultures and wisdom teachings I encourage you to reach out to Cindy Crowe to explore her events - or even for a Family gathering with options to add on local sightseeing and time with her as your personal guide. You can stay on the land in a Cabin or book a room at a hotel just down the road. I am so grateful I was able to participate in her Summer gathering, it was like a breath of fresh air to my soul! Sincerely, Pinina in Arizona.

I had the honour of attending the Strawberry Moon Retreat in 2024 as well as the Summer Solstice Retreat this June. The first one was completely transformational for me. Cindy holds such a beautiful,safe and loving space. I was at the beginning of my spiritual journey and I learned and experienced so much during the first one. Over the past year with Cindy’s guidance I integrated and strengthened my understanding of spirituality.


And this year what I came away with are these succinct words: love, laughter, joy and a beautiful sense of community. I was delighted to see many of the people from last year and to meet new beautiful souls who were also called to Cindy’s sacred land.


I really do believe it was magic in action. I look forward to attending many more. I am forever grateful for the vehicle on Insight Timer for connecting me with Cindy. She is one of the most authentic, down to earth person I know. Extremely knowledgeable, supportive and kind.

I attended the Strawberry Moon Retreat and found it to be an amazing experience and very well-run. The organization, communication beforehand, the activities, the food and personal dietary accommodations were all perfect! So whatever event/service you're considering here-don't hesitate. The answer is Yes. Just go for it!

Talbot T.

I was able to heal and make a real change on my life in such a short eye opening time I loved connecting with the people and the ideas it was a perfect experience.

Keri P.

Amazing experience. So many thanks to Cindy. We appreciate your kind heart, loving energy, wisdom, and community spirit. We also love love love our drums!

I attended the Strawberry Moon Retreat June 20 - 24 at Niibing Tribal Tours. It was a beautiful experience. A wonderful and eclectic group of spiritual warriors gathered and attuned with each other in peaceful harmony. The land where Niibing Tribal Tours is located is absolutely beautiful. At night you could hear the forest sing with a multitude of insects, birds, frogs and the rustling leaves from the wind. Golden eagles swept over the land many times through out our stay and the most magnificent moment was when two bald eagles flew up from the tree line playing and chasing each other immediately following our final song of our drum birthing ceremony which was a fulfillment of a prayer for a recently passed friend I laid tobacco for earlier that morning. A collective healing happened for many, if not, all of us, voices grew stronger, hearts were opened and a greater spiritual connection was felt. I am honoured to have been a part of this beautiful weekend and participate in all the activities and ceremonies that were planned for us. The event was catered for us and the food was very delicious, fresh salads, diet specifications were provided for, well flavoured and just right. Thank you again for having me! I have already decided to attend next year sand hopefully will be able to plan a small traditional sweat with a few close women at Niibing Tribal Tours.

Natalie D.

I was able to participate in a wonderful retreat at Niibing Tribal Tours. I made some deep connections with new lifelong friends. Cindy was generous with her time and her knowledge. Highly recommend!

Jocelyne C.

Thank you so much Cindy for giving me the opportunity to participate and be a part of the strawberry moon retreat. I lived and witnessed life changing transformations and saw the Universe conspire with all of us to elevate the earth's frequency.


I believe that everyone should experience returning to the land, to our roots. I'm already looking forward to September's corn moon retreat.


With much gratitude.

It was really special to meet all the wonderful people on the retreat and learn about my native culture. I birthed a drum, went to sweat lodge and had a spiritual experience. I learned so much from Cindy and everyone here. I am grateful I was able to come and experience this.

Kelly R.

I had a great experience! Cindy is very knowledgeable and shared many teachings, practices, and activities with a perfect balance of profound and meaningful, and fun and light hearted! The participants were very vulnerable, open, caring and authentic! It was a very supportive healing environment. I loved the laidback vibe and inclusive community at the retreat.

Ashley C.

Thank you, Cindy, for another wonderful, surreal experience! My guests were so inspired by your stories and grateful for your generosity. Hope our paths cross again soon!

Ashley C

An amazing, surreal experience! Thank you Cindy for taking the time to teach me and my family about your culture and traditions. We especially enjoyed the cedar tea, smudging, drumming, and making an offering bag and medicine bag. We are looking forward to visiting again in the spring.

On the Spot Language

THIS IS A MAGICAL & MEMORABLE experience not to be missed!


Exploring Thunder Bay and getting a personally guided tour by such a knowledgeable and wise indigenous leader like Cindy was unforgettable.


Most importantly, her tour/teachings teaches us how to live in harmony with the natural world and rediscover a sense of wholeness and connection. There is much to be learned from our indigenous brothers and sisters about how to live in harmony with oneself, with others, and with the natural world... and you will not regret this one-of-a-kind experience!

Spoken Lives

I had a wonderful time with Cindy and Cynthia at Niibing Tribal Tours. I learned traditional Indigenous ways and explored the land. We went out to visit Kakabeka Falls. I hand-picked some medicine plants and learned so much about the Monarch butterflies. They were amazing hosts of the land and if you can make it out there, I know you’ll love your time!
