MESSAGE FROM SUE
A collage of lovely postcards hangs in the entrance hall of the House of Five Senses. These remind me of how your lives have been enriched from our past work together. Thank you for taking the time to keep me updated with your uplifting news. I love receiving these mini-art treasures.
2007 sped by and it seemed like I was pushed by a cloud of higher purpose. This has resulted in the forming another non-profit organization named Fields of Understanding, Inc. It fulfills one of its three missions by offering an innovative school called Power of Energetics: School of Principled Consciousness. Its educational duty is to amplify the spirit of integrity, ethics and mutuality while students engage in year long projects oriented toward themes to rectify and honor nature's brilliance. Although this is a world-wide borderless classroom, students are given the opportunity to meet four times during the year for Group Forums to share insights with other enrolled students.
If you are interested in the details of this exciting way to utilize reflexive and participatory consciousness, please visit www.fieldsofunderstanding.com
The deadline for applications for the 2008 term is January 1, 2008.
Do you hold the desire to spread a generous influence on our environment?
Do you aspire to touch others with sincere appreciation?
Do you long to build energetic bridges to share your love?
Have you the courage to engage in ways to expand your inner noble heart and mind?"
If so, please consider joining us in 2008 in North Carolina, Switzerland or Austria!
My team of helpers and I are already planning some exciting surprises for the April and August Seminars in Todd. People have already enrolled in the Spring and Fall Seminars in the USA and in Europe. For some events, class size is limited, so register early!
I am working on the "Body Vital" Series of paintings as well as a new series entitled "Twelve Pinnacles of Power" that will be unveiled in May in Graz, Austria. We will add the images of this new work to the art section of this website as they are completed.
Many have asked about our projects in North Carolina so I will keep you updated here.
After collecting a wonderful diversity of heirloom seeds, we enlarged our co-created garden in the fertile ground left after removing the storm damaged old cow barn. You can see pictures of our Gaudi-inspired garden bench fashioned from reclaimed barn elements. Because of the drought conditions in July, many gardens in our area suffered. We were blessed with abundant crops that provided organic provisions for seminar participants.
Some of the more industrious students of the August Seminar created wood-fired pizzas in the House of Five Senses. This hearth was the collaborative effort of Megan, Matt, Shay, Sue, Bear, Emily, Maya, and Tom. Thanks to all those who took the idea of the wood fired oven project to its materialization. I look forward to our next inspired ideas!!!
Matthew and Shay fabricated a nine-sided structure from the old barn's hickory, chestnut, and oak. The new construction is the home of "The Sundown Theatre". Last August this new space inspired impromptu expressive dance, poetry readings and even a slide presentation for a small group of pilgrims.
The Kabala Trail continues to enrich hikers. This year, we are creating a scale model of the property as well as a coded card system for those interested in deepening their insights about the energies of each of the 22 paths.
I hope I have inspired you to get involved in some way in 2008. Perhaps you care to join us at a seminar, or volunteer at our headquarters. Over the years, participants have made world-wide lasting friendships and have shared many deep and meaningful moments. We are dedicated to our mission. We like to have fun. Join us to participate in this glorious gift of life.
Read over our expanded Calendar and then come
and grow with us!
