After Quest-Fall into Autumn

The beauty of being in the woods co-facilitating with Daniel Foor was once again a great success. It took energy from having to re-schedule due to 4 ft. of snow for June 21 which created a back lash of cancellations for one reason or another. We along with our registrar Stacey worked at keeping the energy fresh. I want to thank Paul Rubio for opening his lodge in Los Gatos for our group for our 4 th year. I had to go down with my 2 friends to clear the area at Methodist Camp we use with tobacco and chain saws it created a gateway of sorts with this huge tree that was across the water way. It made is so beautiful looking from the water, through the fire to the lodge a powerful site. As we move into the leaves falling away our group worked on that plus creating more of the authentic self for these Now times. It has been a powerful time for me as well. I re-connected with an old boyfriend teaching me to be open, follow the energy once again without expectations. I am finding most are getting out there being more visible for our life work, spiritually grounded, present and psychologically fit. Oh yes I have to mention that I am often telling clients, quester's whom ever the necessity for meditation is huge, plus being physically more fit. I ended up doing part of the Tin Man here in Dunsmuir. My daughter-in law Jaime only wanted to do the swim, bike asked me to do the run. It was a great family event before our Quest. I took our family down to say prayers at the camp before our group arrived after Tin Man including my grand-daughter Tessa who is 15 months. Getting back to the Methodist Camp was completely welcoming even though they were doing a bit of construction hurrying to complete before the weather changes in the mountains. It was a spectacular 4 th year, lodges were amazing, our cook was Kim who kept food out and prepared great meals. (Good mama in the kitchen) I want to thank all of you who with us in spirit saying prays keeping that focus. Our next one will be Aug. 7-14 2011 amazing.
