work partiers

It was a small but hearty group that braved the cold weather and showed up for the End of the Season work party this last weekend. With their departure on Sunday, the 2012 Indralaya season that began all the way back on a similar weekend in mid-February has finally come to an end.

Leonie, Andrie, Kathie

On Sunday morning, as we gathered in a circle to begin the day, Leonie spoke of the sense of gratitude that many feel for Indralaya and all the varied things that happen here. We briefly remembered those who have come before as well as those yet to come and appreciated that this place continues and is so strong 85 years after its origins in 1927.

We also enjoyed a visit from John & Susan O’Neill last week. The O’Neills are friends from Connecticut whom we have seen often during our visits to the Krotona School of Theosophy (see Feb. 6-12, 2012 & Jan. 31-Feb 6, 2011 posts). They are very active members of the Theosophical Society, and frequent volunteers at Pumpkin Hollow Farm, our sister camp in the Hudson River valley in upstate New York. This was their first visit back to Indralaya since 2006.
