Peace Can Be Fun!

Yes!  Peace can be fun — and is fun at Peace Village! In our last post, “What’s the Name of Your Village?” I shared with you many of the classes and activities the campers engaged in throughout the week.  From meditation to walking the labyrinth, from learning about nature and nutrition, to experiencing the wonders of Mother Earth.  All the while, having fun in a relaxing, loving, and peaceful environment. Here, see for yourself…. Peace Village is surrounded by these majestic mountains:   Classes were held both indoors and outdoors: Peace Village Co-Directors: ~~~~ ~~~~ As I’ve said on numerous Continue reading >>

What's the Name of Your Village?

I hear a lot of talk about Tribes and Villages.  They seem to be the new words/concepts for how we used to say, “My peeps.”  Regardless of the vernacular we use, we know when we’re among them.  These are the people who See us.  Because they want to see us, but also because we allow ourselves to be seen by them.  We breathe a little bit easier when among our tribe.

This photo captures the healing essence, the beauty, and the awe of all it all — of walking side-by-side with God in nature, of the mystery of the labyrinth.  It also reminded me of a Sufi poem by Rumi: But where is Continue reading >>

48 Hours

I’m overwhelmed with the kindness and love I’ve received since my most recent post.  Your comments, emails, texts, even your rituals performed in seeing me as whole and healed are appreciated more than you know.  Truly, thank you. As I wrote before, I am honoring myself as whole and healed right from the beginning.  Part of that healing has manifested in a 48 hour girl’s trip with one of my closest friends, my mother-in-law.  I captured it in photograph form specifically to share with you.  (Sorry Tracy, I’m no photographer…this is just me and my iPhone.) We were surrounded with Continue reading >>
