July 28 - August 3

dining hall as art studio...

This week just over 50 participants gathered for an exploration of Creativity and the Subtle Realms with Deborah Koff-Chapin and David Spangler. It was a magical Indralaya week, weaving together art, music, exploration of inner realms and subtle experience, great food and open-hearted participation into a cohesive and joyful experience of community and emergence.

Minor, Julie, David, Deborah, Leonie

David shared his insights during morning presentations in the library, while Deborah taught and guided touch drawing sessions in the afternoons as the ideas shared by David were brought to life. Evenings included an August 1 celebration of Lammas around and over a fire in the grove. Lammas is the ancient Celtic harvest festival marking the halfway point between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox. Many of those at the campfire observed the tradition of leaping over the fire three times!

One of the yoga week participants, Arthur Huebner, devoted some of his winter to preparing 108 salvaged hangers for use all around Indralaya. The hangers were installed while he was here for the program and they are turning up in all the right places: cabin walls, broom closets, rest rooms, shower stalls, and elsewhere. Thank you, Arthur!
