Hi Friends!<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s spring! It feels like time to update y’all on Sanctuary. We’ve missed seeing our friends, but are still needing to get simpler and simpler. “Just this.”<\/p>\n

Personal Retreats and Bed & Breakfast<\/em><\/strong><\/em> Please don’t forget that\u00c2\u00a0our guest room is available for\u00c2\u00a0personal retreats<\/strong><\/strong> and\u00c2\u00a0B&B<\/strong><\/strong>, if you have need. We had a lovely woman from MA come last weekend. She needed space and time to write. She set up her laptop on the platform at the end of the living room, with a shoji screen to give her\/us a little privacy. We all really enjoyed the quiet and a little of each other’s company.\u00c2\u00a0 So if you want a few days to yourself in our Sanctuary, please be our guests. The rate is $120\/weekend night for B&B, $135 for retreats and that includes 3 simple meals. We can accommodate a couple, of course, in the comfy queen sized bed.\u00c2\u00a0 If you want to come work in the garden this spring in exchange for a sleep-over, that could be arranged! Oh, and we will donate $10 for each night our guest room is occupied, to the\u00c2\u00a06 Tibetan\u00c2\u00a0orphans<\/strong><\/strong> whom we help to support in\u00c2\u00a0India. We have been collecting donations for them for three years now, mostly when Geshe-la was teaching (Tibetan Buddhist monk).\u00c2\u00a0The children are doing well at school in\u00c2\u00a0Dharamsala,India.<\/p>\n

New Website <\/em><\/strong><\/em> My son, Will Huenink, has helped me (actually, he did it and I asked questions…) update our website. The new feature is a blog, which I hope will be operative soon. I tried to start it this morning, but I guess I have to ask Will some more questions, because it would not publish my post. Hmmm.\u00c2\u00a0 Stay tuned.\u00c2\u00a0www.sanctuaryvermont.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Free Polarity Massage Workshop <\/em><\/strong><\/em> A few weeks ago our friend Jane Collister led a workshop here on a Saturday morning. We had 9 participants, a full house, and we all enjoyed learning polarity balancing and receiving it at the same time. Jane will be offering this for free from time to time. She has a private practice in Putney and\u00c2\u00a0Chester, and can be reached at 802-869-1719.<\/p>\n

Tong Ren<\/em><\/strong><\/em> Peter offers a free ‘ guinea pig class’ of Tong Ren on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8pm. For more information, see our website, or visitwww.tongrenworld.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garden Consultations<\/em><\/strong><\/em> are available again this year. I know how to grow just about anything that will grow in our climate. I love to walk around your property with you and help you envision a beautiful nourishing garden around your home that will feed your soul. Rates start at $75 (a one-hour walk around your place). If you want me to write up notes or make a schematic drawing, that costs extra. I love to do this and hope you will call me if you have need.\u00c2\u00a0 If you live over 15 miles from me or 30 minutes, I’ll have to charge a little extra for travel. I am open to barter.<\/p>\n

Free Plants<\/em><\/strong><\/em> Our garden always has extras. Today I was pulling out Forget-Me-Nots by the basketful, so if you want some, please call or stop by anytime. There will be other perennials available soon, including many nice yellow day lilies, and some 5 foot-tall lemon yellow daisies I call “West River Daisies” because that’s where I dug them up from, many years ago. They spread and do well in moist waste places, ditches and such, or just by the side of your garden.<\/p>\n

White Mountain Sangha<\/em><\/strong><\/em> is having a 3-day retreat in\u00c2\u00a0New Hampshire\u00c2\u00a0on the first weekend in May, with Norman Scrimshaw and Margaret Fletcher. For more info, go to\u00c2\u00a0www.whitemountainsangha.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Much love to you all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
