Our Mission

Evolution through Empowerment
The Feathered Pipe Ranch and Foundation were founded in 1975. From the beginning, the image and concept of the Native American feathered pipe has inspired our name and guided our mission. According to descriptions of a rite attributed to the A’aninin tribe of north central Montana, the feathered pipe was hung from a tripod when there was a question about which way to go. Once it settled, the direction it pointed guided the A'aninin people in their travels.
Turning to the feathered pipe to point the way continues to inspire the work of the Feathered Pipe Foundation. We offer a time and place for people to slow down and tap into their deeper selves and limitless potential and gifts. We provide a sanctuary where teachers bring their wisdom and experience to ‘the Pipe,’ offering direction and guidance into new territories of exploration and practice. Through our educational programs and services we support the development of healthy communities on local and global levels. In conjunction with our support for programs and teachers, the Foundation continues to embrace the tradition of service, or seva.
The Mission of the Feathered Pipe Foundation is to help people find their direction through access to programs and experiences that cultivate awareness of their truest selves, enrich spirit, mind and body, explore the world’s wisdom and discoveries, and actively practice seva (service) to support healing, education, community and empowerment.
The Feathered Pipe Foundation is a nonprofit education organization which is tax-exempt under IRS Code 501(c)(3).
