RedCliff Ascent

Carrick attended the RedCliff Ascent wilderness therapy program, which is located in the high desert of southwestern Utah, from November 2000 through March 2001.

Twilight Eagle Moon

A few days before they graduate from the RedCliff Ascent program, each student is given an "earth name" by one of the counselors. White Winds Singing gave Carrick the name "Twilight Eagle Moon" with the following explanation:

Twilight is for your

personality. You are like

that mystical magical

moment just as the

sun sets. The blue beads

represent that part of

your spirit.

Eagle is the most spititual

of all the birds. It flys

higher than any other

bird and has a strong

connection to Great

Spirit. This is a

representation of your

spiritual nature.

Moon is for the

feminine nature.

You have a strong

connection to the moon.

When you have questions

the glow of the moon

can help you.

I don't think Deirdre put as much thought into the name "Running Daughter."
