In this video (click here for video), India Supera is speaking seated in front of the fireplace in the wonderful meeting room at Feathered Pipe Ranch outside of Helena, Montana, up in the hills. The building is three stories in height with windows opening onto the lawn and lake. Many times over many years, I was in this same place where she was seated and in the circle of women participants. Such a pleasure it is to be the listener, with time to take in her words and feelings.


India took part in my last Feathered Pipe event, seated to my right, with Monika Wikman co-leader on my left, I recall it was the summer before the pandemic began (2020). India died a year or so later. This an hour session—to all who have sat in that room, imagine being there and listening to India speak from her heart and soul. Sit comfortably as if you would have been there!

That image of India speaking by the fireplace stays with me. I've noticed the same thing in people who build lasting places: they rarely describe it as a grand plan, more like a series of small choices that eventually became a home.

What did the early years at the ranch actually look like?

What stayed with me is that India built a gathering place in Montana instead of a bigger platform.

Creating room for people to slow down and truly listen to each other feels rarer now, and I wonder what she'd tell someone starting something similar today.

I keep picturing that fireplace at the Feathered Pipe Ranch and how much a setting like that shapes what someone chooses to share.

Did India talk about how the land outside Helena first drew her in, or was it more about the people who gathered there?
