Dear Friend,
Partner
Earth Education Center at Sweetwater Sanctuary sits at the base of Marble
Mountain and the Dorset Peaks, some of the highest peaks in southern
Vermont. This is home to black bear, moose, coyote, bobcat, raven, wild turkey,
porcupine, ermine, beaver and red-tail hawk. We are surrounded by thousands
of acres of protected woodlands and meadows with a rushing brook that
cascades down the mountain and flows centrally through the property.
There are many natural springs on the mountain but right at our doorstep
is Heart Spring producing several gallons of water per minute. It is
this pure, sweet water that is the constantly flowing life force of
Sweetwater Sanctuary that nourishes not only our bodies and soil but
our spirits as well.
Each year we are
blessed with interns who help make everything happen. We’d like
to thank Joelle and Katie for their open hearts and willing hands
that welcomed so many of you, helping to make your stay here comfortable.
Thanks also to Mark who continues to beautify and maintain the center
building and our grounds.
This
past year Pam was still involved in editing and producing her new book, Plant Spirit Healing, A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness. After two full years of work it is finally available for you to delve deeper into the understanding of plant spirits and their evolutionary imperative.
This past summer we were able to lay-out a labyrinth here at Sweetwater thanks to Jocelyn. The labyrinth is becoming a focal point for meditation and ceremony as we discover the healing power of this ancient form.
We would like
to thank all of you who continue to support the Partner Earth Education
Center at Sweetwater Sanctuary with financial contributions or by attending
workshops here. We hope you plan to visit us this year for our variety
of herbal, plant spirit healing, heart-centered, and earth-based educational
opportunities. We also invite you to experience the healing environment
of Sweetwater while you receive a health consultation or treatment.
It is here, surrounded by the exquisite beauty of mountains, waterfalls,
diverse plant life and abundant wildlife where you hear rushing water
in the stream, smell the sweet flowers, touch the rich earth, see the
moonrise and shooting stars and taste the burst of flavor in wild greens
that your essential nature comes alive and you remember who you are.
Many Bright Blessings from Sweetwater
