Greetings Friends!
Bend of Ivy is glowing with fall’s browns, oranges and reds now. I love how the purple joe pye weed wildflowers are so tall and magnificent. Tall clumps of joe pye are nestling in spots next to the Pond and seem like the tallest JPW’s EVER here! It's fun to watch the butterflies and dragonflies flitting around them.
Fall is such a magical time here as nature slows down. Guests feel calm in the energy and nature, a sense of restorative energy. And, if it's a wedding here, there's both lively fun celebratory energy flowing and some restorative pauses. That was last weekend as a beautiful weekend wedding had the pond glowing with lights, and the valley rocking with music. Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.!

Nature Guides. Fall & Presence Pauses.
My Chinese medicine acupuncturist reminded me yesterday that as it’s fall, the body wants to follow the natural cycle of nature. That means the body needs:
slower pace
more rest
presence pauses
She said go sit with a cup of tea. ... More

“Having never taken an Enneagram class before, I was hoping this class would fill out my knowledge from years of self-study. Susan exceeded expectations with her depth of knowledge and commitment to working with the top teachers in the Enneagram. But, what I most appreciated about Susan's teaching style is her ability to give her students a safe place to explore and grow in our understanding of this ancient instrument and how it can expand our knowing and expansion of our deepest selves. Not every teacher has that skill and I can heartily recommend Susan's class.” Robyn Pichler, Clinical Psychologist
