I hope the summer months are finding you well. This picture is taken at Buttermilk Falls in Ludlow, VT. I have visited Ludlow all my life, and have worked there in the winters for 23 years. In the middle of this month, my little town was cut off from all directions, and within town, many roads areas were inaccessible, including my house and the road to this very special waterfall. There has never been a more important time for us to learn to work with our planet, and to recognize our own interconnectedness. At the FSS, we address this topic in myriad ways, some overt and some more subtle. I am offering the Shamanism and Spirits of Nature workshop this August, and this is one of the most direct and powerful times that we learn to work with and listen to nature. I hope you'll join me, if not in this program, in talking to our planet and listening to what the nature spirits have to teach us.
