The Children's Apple TreeAs May got underway, the meadow seemed to become increasingly resplendent with each passing day. This week the children's apple tree (the one tree in the meadow that children are allowed to climb to their heart's content) came into full bloom.
Weekend Program
It was good to welcome Erik Peper back to Indralaya after several years. Erik is Professor of Holistic Health and Director of the Institute for Holistic Healing Studies at San Francisco State University. He is an international authority on biofeedback and self-regulation, and attended the annual healing camps at Indralaya with Dora Kunz and Dolores Krieger regularly beginning in the late 1970's.
dinner discussion with ErikErik arrived fresh from a trip to Kobe, Japan, where he was training Japanese physicians in the use of biofeedback to address post-traumatic stress associated with the March 11 earthquake and its aftermath.
Wayne, John, Ona, Haley, JakeStalwart Staff
The full complement of our Spring staff were on hand this week. Wayne Hunt is here for a second year on fellowship. John Magee and Ona Lindauer arrived a couple weeks ago via the wwoofer program and have been stalwarts in the garden and kitchen during their stay. Another wwoofer, Haley Neddermann arrived on Thursday night and will be staying until mid-June. She is the sister of Audrey Neddermann, who was on the Indralaya staff last summer. “Wwoof” is an acronym for “Worldwide Workers on Organic Farms” an international program that Indralaya began participating in last year.
Jacob Doty arrived the day before Haley and is here on an internship that will last into the Fall. Jake arrived on Wednesday from his family home in Williams, OR, where he lives with his dad Rick and Elizabeth McNanny (Mark Seiler and Jen Edington also live on the property). Jake has been on fellowship at Indralaya previously and has been coming to Indralaya since his early teens. His primary responsibility will be to provide support in the kitchen.
It feels quite fortunate to have these good people here contributing to the life of the place. While most of our staff positions are filled for the remainder of Spring and into the summer, there is still space available so please let us know if you or someone you know might be interested in serving on fellowship staff.

During a dinner conversation, a participant in Erik’s program who was talking about past visits and treasured moments at Indralaya said proudly: “I got to wash pots with John Roberts once.”
