The Farm
Once a place of sacred space for dances of gratitude offered to the Great Spirit after trading amongst tribes in the nearby hills, Sophia’s Garden is again dedicated to honoring our Mother Earth. The impulse that underlies everything we do here concerns harmony, beauty and order. There is a co-creative endeavor to restore the kingdoms of nature and enliven the soil . There are 6 acres of medicinal herbs grown here. Everything from clary sage to nettle to lavender and more.
The Circle is a form in which many cultures gather within and express through dance and music. Here there are several gardens amongst which we have created a temple garden. There are 12 hearts around a circle that is 33and a third diameter. Each of the hearts represents one of the Zodiacal realms. We recognize the forces streaming in to the earth from the stars. The star wisdom guides us in choosing the best times for the various agricultural activities. You could call this the culture of agriculture.
There is much more to be shared about the herbs chosen to be planted in the hearts and on the moon which is a crescent shape on the western slope of the circle.
The dome is a popular place for classes which include beekeeping , astronomy, Biodynamic agriculture ,sacred dance and music and much more. The dome is lined in felted white wool which creates a very lovely ambiance.
