The Sound of Healing
I seem to have been spiritually guided towards music and sound over these past few months. It is always inspiring to me when I realize how new paths are introduced to my life. I think this journey started subtlety when I had the feeling that we should have Chakra chimes at Limina, something that supported […]
Creating and Accepting: Finding balance and peace with Mary and the Buddha
Images and commentaries on the annunciation to Mary depict her as a passive vessel of divinity, but the reality could not be further from the truth. Mary took a very active role in assessing the angel’s invitation before assenting to the creative process of birthing the Christ-child. I admit that I have spent much more […]
Fall Equinox retreat recap
What a perfect weekend to reflect on the teachings of the Fall Equinox! With warm sunny days, and crisp cool evenings, the natural world was inviting us to absorb the wisdom of this time of year. All around we saw fruits of the land ready to be harvested. So we spent time wondering things like […]
Even busy bees need a nap
Late one afternoon, I went out to harvest tomatoes and cut flowers for our table. I was snipping away, marveling at how exquisite the dahlias are this year, and came upon these cuties! It was a warm afternoon, so the bumble bees were not cold stunned, just taking a break from gathering nectar and pollen. […]
New Friends
After several Forest Bathing – Nature Therapy walks I am pleased to say that our purpose built trails are a great addition to the Limina experience. They seem to be providing a beautiful opportunity for our guests to connect with Nature. Hidden fern gardens, wildflower meadows, Hemlock families, babbling brooks, a treasure filled beach and […]
Crashed!
Have you ever pressed a key on your computer and within a few seconds thought, “WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?” Well, I managed to completely crash our website with one quick hit of the “return” key. Not just parts of the site went down, the whole kit and caboodle was kaput! I stared in disbelief, quickly […]
Wondrous Patterns of Limina
I find it endlessly fascinating to see all the wondrous patterns that Limina brings to me. It seems a day doesn’t go by that I discover some new masterpiece. The sky, the ocean, the plants or the numerous geological prizes that grace our beach. I love the patterns and textures of this photo showing the […]
Ripening, harvesting, preparing
All over the land, we can see the cycles of seed, blossom, pollination, emerging and ripening fruit, and seeds setting for next year. The lupines were EXQUISITE this year, and as we see the thousands of seed pods that will drop in the coming months, it’s thrilling to imagine next June’s display. Our blueberry bushes […]
Soaking in Photoncides -AKA- Forest Bathing
I guided our first Forest Bathing Walk this month for our Helping Professionals Retreat guests. I was a bit anxious as it was my first full guided walk and my participants were seasoned professionals. I wanted to make sure they recieved a smooth walk and really had an opportunity to experience the specialness of Limina. […]
The gifts of contemplative time
For me, contemplative prayer or meditation is the stance of opening my heart, mind, and spirit to the divine … the source of all life and love … that which connects all beings on earth and in other realms. Each morning, George (our Shih Tzu) and I begin the day in meditation in the chapel […]
