The Wellsprings

Morning Walk

After a somewhat restless night (it was cold, and my sleeping pad sprung a leak!) I took a walk around the grounds and found some very cool stuff around here! 
The best thing was a few wooden swings hanging from a weeping willow tree. I can't remember the last time I was on a swing! Wheee!!

They have an incredible garden here...and further down the path, I came across a few more interesting things. Pictures speak louder then words sometimes...

Then I walked out towards the road, and met two women selling soap made from goats milk! You;; hear more from them later, I'm going to visit their farm this week and interview them for the podcast, as well as two other women selling semi-organic flowers. This dream is starting to come true. 

After my walk, I came back to the Wellsprings and had the most enjoyable experience! I ventured into the steam room. A few more people came in, and someone started chanting. Then another person...then everyone followed along! We were all chanting together in this tiny space, in the steam we could barely see each other...but we made beautiful music! WOW! Then I spent two hours in the mineral baths...the sun came out...

Now I'm sitting in the tea room enjoying a cheese and pastrami burrito and home made apricot bar...and I met this guy. 
I'm looking forward to an evening of more music and chanting and dancing! More to come.
