FEBRUARY 2012
Greetings from Lenape-Abenaki Farm. I hope you are enjoying the sun one way or another. The good news is that the days are getting longer!
I just returned from a special trip to the U.K., where I was able to experience Stonehenge for the first time, in addition to walking several different lands of sacredness and deep heritage & history. I feel blessed and humbled because I met people who are doing the same type of work and share the same vision of reconnecting with our sacred earth and her plants, animals, and spirit. It is clear to me that there is a world wide shift occurring in our desire to truly connect to each other, to our earth, and to the guides who are showing us the way.
I would like to take some time this month to further describe the process I am going through as a person in relation to the land where I now live. To be perfectly honest, it has taken 50 years to understand what is unfolding, but I am at least starting to grasp tidbits of the understanding. I think I have spent years trying to know the outcome of my life, trying to control the outcome of my life, and trying to create a perfect scenario in terms of finances, living space, career, family, etc. You know, the American Dream that everyone talks about.
On the Lenape-Abenaki Farm page, I describe the intentions I have for this special land where I live, but the past few weeks of meditating and convening with colleagues have led me to re-frame how the Lenape-Abenaki Farm is to come about. While the bank says I am paying the mortgage and the town says I have the title to this land and I must pay taxes, it truly is not my land. I see myself simply as the temporary steward of this land. The guides for this land and for my personal journey have made it clear, time after time, that as steward of this land, I am to make this land available for anyone who wants to be here, whether it is to meditate, to walk the land, to work the land, to communicate with the spirit of the land, to add to the land, or to seek healing here. So, while I have put out to the universe the intentions for this land, I recognize that I truly must allow the development of the Lenape-Abenaki Farm to be facilitated by the people and spirits who visit this land.
This is a different way of building a place of retreat and healing. This is a process that encourages me to truly surrender to you, the people who come here. This is a process that encourages me to trust in you, that you will be here when you need to be here and how you need to be here. This is a process that is about turning it over to the spirit of the land and trusting that the many trees, flowers, rocks, animals, diva and nature spirits will bring to this land what is supposed to be here.
So, in the true spirit of surrender and trust, I agree to be steward of the Lenape-Abenaki Farm, and I turn over to all interested people and the spirits of this place the development of this emerging retreat and healing place to all visitors, whether you visit in spirit, in person, or in support.
Our first four Spring 2012 workshops have been set. The development of the Lenape-Abenaki Farm is underway. Participants of the workshops will be creating sacred places on this land and they will be connecting with the spirit of the trees, plants, animals, and earth.

May you find the time to pause to connect with your sacred place of living and/or work so that you can listen for guidance and wisdom as to how you can let life unfold as it should.
Peace & Blessings,
Paul
