Keepers of The Sacred Tradition of Pipemakers: Donation for Pipe Project
The Keepers have opened their hearts to our brothers and sisters who are incarcerated by offering a pipe, one to each prison, to be used by a designated spiritual leader to run prayer circle or other ceremonies within the prison walls. We feel that this is an important venture, one which just might make the difference to someone who is looking for the Red Road. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks! All donations are tax deductible.
