The Bring the Love Initiative's mission is to create a more trauma informed society through free trauma informed training and clinical support.

We believe trauma is not just an individual experience, but a collective wound that demands collective care.

Beaver Island's St. James Campground

@greatlakespulse.bsky.social

There’s a kind of quiet at St. James Campground that feels rare now. The wind moves through the pines, waves press gently against the shoreline, and the world beyond Beaver Island seems to disappear. Here, life is reduced to its simplest, truest form. greatlakespulse.com/beaver-islan...

Close to the Water. Close to the SkyI came to Beaver Island chasing darkness. Not metaphorical — actual, literal darkness.

More than just a canvas tent in the woods. I originally came to Beaver Island for the stars. What I experienced, was and island with magic around every corner.

How many places are left where you can see the night sky exactly as our ancestors once did? On Michigan’s Beaver Island—the state’s first International Dark Sky Sanctuary—the stars are so brilliant they almost hurt your eyes. greatlakespulse.com/beaver-islan...

There are only a handful of places left in the world where the night still knows how to be dark. I went to one.

Did you know the last Indigenous boarding school in the U.S. didn’t close until 1992?

In Michigan, it was even earlier—1983. Holy Childhood School of Jesus. Harbor Springs.

This history isn’t distant. It’s living. And so are the people who survived it.
