Sacred Sites Update-Gobind Sadan, Hastings, NY

This past weekend I did a follow-up visit to Gobind Sadan in Hastings, NY to my survey last August Sacred Sites Update--Gobind Sadan, Hastings NY. Unfortunately, nothing has changed--The once incredibly positive vibe is gone. Because of this I do not recommend visiting Gobind Sadan, a place I strongly advocated for in my book Sacred Sites in North Star Country: Places in Greater New York State (PA,OH,NJ,CT,MA,VT,ONT) That Changed the World.

A I noted in my last update much of the land has been clearcut-which has damaged the consciousness of the space. See picture below.

I believe a sacred space  "is all about the vibe," the interaction of human intentions/actions with Mother Earth. Positive loving actions lift up and improve a space, or an aspect of our Mother. Conversely, selfish or violent behavior harms a space and diminishes the influence of our Mother's Earth Energies and consciousness.

Clearcutting rapes the land and our Mother. It is a harmful and destructive force. It is a statement of how little you care about our Mother. It lessens and makes impotent aspects of our Mother, such as Her Earth Energies. It creates a bad vibe.

I had waited to see, if, hopefully, the affects of the assault (clear cutting) on our Mother at Gobind Sadan would have diminished over time. They have not and may even inicreased.

The Death of Energy Vortices.

An Energy Vortex is an incredible achievement and it marks the union of humankind and Mother Earth to co-create a new birth. It forms when we love give, heal, pray, meditate. It is a testament to the sacredness of a space. It is Earth Magic, A BLESSING, A GIFT.

Both of the Energy Vortices located on the site of the old temple have been snuffed out and are gone. In fact, the vibe where they were once located is no longer positive. It is still difficult for me to believe that such a turn of events could occur so rapidly, as it takes time and incredibly positive and loving intentions to form a positive Energy Vortex.

In the picture below the fence outlines the former temple. The chairs are located in the area of where an Energy Vortex once thrived.

The old temple was burned down in a hate crime in the immediate aftermath of 9-11. It is a remarkable story. While battling the blaze a fireman heard a voice tell him to immediately leave the second floor. Moments later it collapsed. I confirmed this story with a volunteer firemenan who worked with the fellow that was saved.

The sacred texts remained unscathed.

My friend Ralph Singh forgave the young adults that committed the crime and called for healing. He used this hateful incident  to bring the community together and teach. His kindness  and foregiveness was immortalized in the movie, North of 49.

Affiliations, People and More

A space is influenced by many things; its owners/members, the history of what transpired there, its affiliations and more. As I noted in my review last August I believe that other factors, besides clearcutting,  were also at work in diminishing the vibe. I said,

However, when I was there at the ceremony for remembrance     of the burning of the temple in November(2021) last year I noticed that the hall where the ceremony took place had a neutral vibe. I attributed it to  electronics such as  cell phones. However, it is now apparent that the passing of the Sikh mystic Babaji Virus Singh, the founder of Gobind Sadan, combined with a new board of directors, has had its effect. Space is a reflection of its owners, in this case members. So the decline began a while ago.

It can be hard to believe that the passing of spiritual leader and the diminished influence of his saint--like devotee and  a new board and change in intent/purpose could affect the vibe of a place-but it can.

Sadly, this notion of new leadership bringing about the decline may have an even greater influence, as I found the beginnings of what may metastasize into a negative Energy Vortex, in the area of the buildings. Because this area is located some distance from the clearcut area it means  other factors besides clearcutting were shaping the vibe. Note; a negative energy vortex is a destructive force that robs/drains you of energy and is harmful to your health and well-bing.

I told Ralph that I would gladly mark off the areas with Fields of Consciousness that should be treated with reverence, so that other areas could become hayfields. 

I am sorry to report such bad news.

Sacred Sites Update--Gobind Sadan, Hastings NY

I am sad to report that the vibe at Gobind Sadan (Hastings, NY) has deteriorated. Much of the land surrounding the temple has been clear-cut and harvested of trees--and continues to be. The two divine vortices that I mention in Sacred Sites in North Star Country: Places in Greater New York State (PA,OH,NJ,CT,MA,VT,ONT) That Changed the World located on the wooden deck are gone.

Clearcutting is a nasty violation of our Mother (Earth) and the vibe is reflecting this.

However, when I was there at the ceremony for remembrance of the burning of the temple in November last year I noticed that the hall where the ceremony took place had a neutral vibe. I attributed it to  electronics such as  cell phones. However, it is now apparent that the passing of the Sikh mystic Babaji Virus Singh, the founder of Gobind Sadan, combined with a new board of directors, has had its effect. Space is a reflection of it's owners, in this case members. So the decline began a while ago.

Hopefully, it may be that once the loggers depart that the love and divinity that are now being overwhelmed by the harvesting of trees may be able to reassert themselves. Let's hope WE will see.

I have several posts on Gobind Sadan, one is below; others can be accessed by hitting the "Gobind Sadan Label below.

Sacred Sites Update--Peacemaker's Sanctuary Onondaga Lake

 Tim Hart and I returned to the Peacemakers Sanctuary at Onondaga Lake and moved the benches to make them accessible for people to sit on. As I  noted in my previous post high water forced us to move the benches to prevent them from washing away.Sacred Sites Update--Peacemaker's Sanctuary Onondaga Lake

The water was still a little high so we did not put the far bench back to its original location. USGS 04240495 ONONDAGA LAKE AT LIVERPOOL NY WATER LEVE

The pictures below show the new setting. Both benches still have Energy Vortices attached to them. There are also other divine features close to the benches.

We think we will not move the far bench back until next spring. We are going to leave ropes attached to the benches just in case the water rises again. The ropes should not have any affect on the quality of sitting down. 

Sacred Sites Update--Peacemaker's Sanctuary Onondaga Lake

Yesterday I was walking my dog when I saw a large maple tree four feet in diameter uprooted because the rain had saturated the earth. The tree just fell over on its side. I immediately thought that I should go visit the Peacemaker's Sanctuary at Onondaga Lake Park and make sure the benches there have not floated away. Direction for Peacemaker's Sanctuary

The good news was:

The Vibe was still extremely positive.

All four Energy Vortices were still intact.

The Veil was still thin.

Several Water Domes/Blind Springs are still there

Bottom line all the features that make Peacemaker's Sanctuary special are all still there.

Like a Wet Spring

The benches were both there, but water covered much of the area as the pictures below tell.

The picture above is of the far bench.

Raccoons shucking clams over the years have broken into  small pebble sand like type of soil.

I was particularly concerned that the far bench might have floated away.. It did not as the pciture above shows. Interestingly looking at one of the legs we see a higher water mark. Was the water higher, or did waves create the mark?

Looking at the near bench from the far bench.

Sacred Sites Update-- Muller Hill, Georgetown, NY

Yesterday I visited Muller Hill for the first time in a few years. My review of Muller Hill is located on pages 162-177 of Sacred Sites in North Star Country: Places in Greater New York State (PA,OH,NJ,CT,MA,VT,ONT) That Changed the World.

The thing I noticed first was that the Finger Lakes Trail's Link Trail had lost much of its vibe;.It went from slightly positive to positive, down to neutral. This could be because of several factors; most likely because of the vibe of people walking the trail, or activities conducted on or close to the trail, such as hunting. Hunting is particularly pernicious to sacred areas. The intense focus on trapping, stalking and killing is brutal and is increased with a kill. Ask yourself would you want someone sitting in your living room thinking about killing for five or six hours?

Microwaving Mother Earth

I also wondered whether the diminished vibe was because of increased electromagnetic activity. Since 2009 the use of cell phones has exploded. There has also been the invention and surge of smart appliances, smart device such as  cars... that use WiFi. This  has led to a surge in the use of WiFi. There has also been a dramatic increase in WifFi use by computer users. As I noted in Vortices and Spirals WifFi is death star technology and creates negative vortices over time. This has had a devastating affect on our Mother. 5G is around the corner. Basically we are increasing the veracity of our microwaving of Mother Earth.

What am I talking about?

Think of what microwaving does to food. Think how you are told not to get too many X-rays. 

I need to look at some other sites but I am beginning to get an inkling that  we are starting to more vividly see the damaging consequences of the microwaving of our Mother.

Areas

Pictured are the Manitou Stones I found on the trail. Years ago I was not attuned to Manitous the way I am today. There were also several other stones near the Mantious which made me wonder whiter there was a larger structure there at some time.

Pictured above are the two Manitou Stones.

Closeup of smaller Manitou

The the trails to the Glen and the Back Woods were un-navigitable, particularly the one for the Back Woods. I could get into the area of the Glen but the trail was gone.

The Holy Ridge was still incredible. The trail up was in good shape. The vibe was still very positive to extremely positive in the sacred areas, although the vortex had diminished to a vortex ring. I just love this place.

Pick a spot you can't go wrong on the Holy Ridge.

Prayer stoneware marking where I have meditated.

Prayer stones.

 

Another sacred area on the Holy Ridge.

A sure sign that I have been someplace are flat stones resting against a tree awaiting to become prayer stones. They say that we unconsciously leave behind things at a place because we want to come back to it. There are lots and lots of prayer stones resting against trees at Muller Hill.

Sacred Site Update--Peacemaker's Sanctuary, Onondaga Lake

I visited the Peacemaker's Sanctuary at Onondaga Lake earlier today. The snow muffled the  sound of nearby traffic. I saw no one during visit, or walking around the park. Nice. It was very quiet and serene. 

Both energy vortices attached to the benches were still intact. The vibe of the space was still very positive to extremely positive.

I encourage everyone to visit this divine place. Winter provides quiet and solitude. Click on the right or below for directions,

Sacred Sites Update--HIgh Tor's Finger Lakes Trail

This past Saturday I walked the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) in NYS DEC's HIgh Tor Wildlife Management Area, pages 318- 321, of Sacred Sites in North Star Country.

Sadly, the first (page 320) Field of Consciousness(FOC)  that you encounter on the trail has lost a lot of its vibrancy, or vibe. It is a dramatic loss, but it is still positive.

The other FOC farther down the trail on a peninsula of sorts still hums and has a very positive vibe. Below is a picture of the manitou in the FOC and in my book. This is great place to meditate at.

Sacred Sites Update--Temple Concord, Syracuse, NY

Unfortunately, another sacred space with Fields of Consciousness (FOC), Temple Society of Concord, will be going into private hands. Temple Concord is listed on page 197 of Sacred Sites. It is also part of the  Prophetic Ley (Line) that connects several of Syracuse's social justice oriented places of worship.

Since the Temple will be turned into student housing I image people will continue to have access the part of the FOC that is located outside the Temple.

The Syracuse Post Standard had an op-ed today about why this historic building needs to be preserved. You can access the article by clicking on,
Weigh beauty, history in deciding future of Temple Concord (Editorial short take)

The FOC extends outside of the Temple on its right side in this old picture below. I image that people will be able to access this part of the FOC after it becomes student housing. SAD.

Sacred Sties Update--Peacemaker's Sanctuary Onondaga Lake

Yesterday when I visited the Peacemaker's Sanctuary I found that a tree had fallen near one of the benches. It could also be a tree that was along paved trail that I saw at my last visit and someone dragged it down to the lake.

I had not visited since May. I also noticed that Yellow Flag, what most know as a form of yellow Iris had taken root in several locations. While yellow flag is pretty when it blooms many consider it to be an invasive species.

Given all the rain I expected that much of the area would be soggy. Fortunately only the area of the far bench was a little wet.

Keeper's Work

I had come to the Peacemaker's Sanctuary to do Keeper's work--the physical and spiritual maintenance of the sacred site.  I cut back the reeds and picked up some garbage. I also dragged the fallen, or washed up tree(?), into the woods.

As for the spiritual work I fortified the energy vortices on both benches. (To learn  about Energy Vortices read my article in Wisdom Magazine or my book Vortices and Spirals.)

As for the closest bench I had to move it back to where it had been before to align up the energy vortices. Energy vortices attach to objects and locations. So when the vortex formed it attached to both the bench and to the location where the bench first was.  So by moving the bench I was aligning up the energy vortex on the bench with the one on the ground.

Because the first bench sees more traffic it had totally dissipated. I was able to revive it. 

Why had it dissipated?

Energy vortices form in response to human intention(love, compassions, altruism, giving, etc..) are are affected by the consciousness that they come in contact with. They merge with it.

The first bench sees more traffic and because many are not on a spiritual path the vortex diminishes when it merges with such consciousness. Also the thinking and activities occurring there are not always of the highest good. Again that consciousness merges with that of the energy vortex, often to the detriment to the energy vortex. As I have taught and written about on several occasions,  consciousness merges with the consciousness it comes in contact with; most notably in my book Everything Has Karma. 

The vortex on the second bench was still intact, albeit weaker. It was much more easily revived. 

Looking at the picture above it seems like our friend Mr. Beaver has gnawed down a few more trees by the far bench. Notice the tree stumps with pencil sharpened like tops.

While it may seem that by continually having to clean and spiritually uplift a space I am like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a mountain to have it roll down once I get it to the top. Such is a Keeper's work. Understand also that those visiting, especially if they sit on the benches will be enveloped by an energy vortex. And while they may diminish its vibe and deplete the energy vortex they will be the better for it because their consciousness will be raised by the consciousness of the energy vortex when they merge with it. The vortices will not only raise their consciousness but MAY give them insights, have them find resolution or healing, give them joy and much more. What a blessing it is to be able to do this.

The Holiest of Holy Places

Onondaga Lake where the great Haudenosaunee prophet the Peacemaker planted the Tree of Peace and gave us the Great Law Peace upon which America's democracy is based upon is the holiest of holiest places. As I noted in Sacred Sites it has the most potent Fields of Consciousness. Much of we hold dear--democracy, Women's Rights,..trace their roots to Onondaga Lake and its environs.

The Peacemaker's Sanctuary is a place where people have found answers to questions, have gotten great insights, had their prayers answered and much more. Find time this summer to visit this sacred place and soak up all the love it holds. I will endeavor to maintain the vibrancy of the energy vortices. VISIT AND EXPERIENCE THE BEST OUR MOTHER HAS TO OFFER.

Sacred Sites Update--Howland Stone Store Museum--OPen House June 1, 1-4

The following is my post from LIfe in the Finger Lakes. The Howland Stone Store is listed as a sacred site in Sacred Sites in North Star Country: Places in Greater New York State (PA, OH ,NJ,CT,MA, VT,ONT) That Changed the World

HOWLAND STONE STORE MUSEUM’S OPEN HOUSE

Saturday’s Open House is a chance to experience a noteworthy spirit in the history of the Finger Lakes and meet those looking to keep that spirit alive.

One of the Finger Lakes’ prominent Underground Railroad sites, the Howland Stone Store Museum in Sherwood (Aurora) will be having an Open House this Saturday, June 1, 2019, from 1 to 4PM. Visitor’s will not only have a chance to peruse the Stone Store but also get an early glimpse of how the restoration of the Opendore home is progressing.

Slocum Howland (1794-1881) was a business man and lawyer that was part of a vibrant Quaker community in the Aurora area. He built the store in Sherwood in 1837.

Slocum was an ardent social reformer and conductor on the Underground Railroad. His business of buying and selling goods afforded him the opportunity to transport Freedom Seekers on the Underground Railroad; it also provided him with the means to help people settle in the Sherwood area. Two of the better known Freedom Seekers to remain were Herman and Hannah Phillips who had three sons serve in the Civil War.

It is believed that passengers on the Underground Railroad would stay in the cellar of the store, or at one of the other buildings that the Howlands owned. There were also many other Quaker homes available nearby. The hamlet of Sherwood is listed on the National Register of Historic places because of its advocacy for social reform. https://www.howlandstonestore.org/Sherwood.pdf

Slocum’s daughter Emily (1827-1929) actively involved with Women’s Rights and with the education of African Americans. She was also a major benefactor to those efforts. It is believed that she funded over forty schools across America, the majority focused on the education of African Americans. Visit https://www.howlandstonestore.org to learn more.

The Opendore Project

The Opendore House a few houses north of the Stone Store Museum was purchased by Slocum Howland’s son William (1826-1905) in 1853 who had married Hannah Letchworth. Upon their death it was transferred to their daughter Isabel (1859-1942.)

Isabel embraced the Howland family tradition of social reform. She was an important figure in Women’s Suffrage, serving as the President of New York State Woman Suffrage Association at least once. The National American Woman Suffrage Association honored her on several occasions. To learn more, visit http://theopendoreproject.com

The Museum

In 1988 the Friends of the Howland Stone Store reached an agreement to purchase the store from Cayuga County with the formal transfer in 1991. In 2008 Cayuga County offered the Opendore House to the Howland Stone Store Museum for payment of back taxes.

It is expected the Opendore house restoration will be completed by next year.

The Howland Stone Store has many Women’s Rights posters. There is also an Underground Railroad Pass carried by two Freedom Seekers who came the Slocum’s store in 1840. Upstairs is the “Cabinet of Curiosities” that contains memorabilia and artifacts purchased by the Howlands during their trips around the world.

The Opendore home is under restoration, but the drywall is up and you can see the rooms. The once extensive gardens only have some walls and walkways up. More is planned.

The Howland Stone Store Museum is located at 2956 State Route 34B, Hamlet of Sherwood, NY. Phone, 315-345-3210, or 315-364-8158.

Sacred Sites Update High Tor-Tree Still Blocking Trail

The large tree that fell back in March blocking the trail to upper Clarks Gully and the beginning of the herd path to climb South Hill has not been removed. You can either maneuver around it or climb the embankment on lower Clarks Gully. Unfortunately both of these alternatives involve climbing steep embankments.

Co-creating with Mother Earth/Sacred Sites Update--A Vortex has formed at the Peacemaker's Sanctuary at Onondaga Lake

Another Energy Vortex, or what I call a Natural Vortex has formed on the original bench in the Peacemaker's Sanctuary at Onondaga Lake. It is the first bench that you see when you enter the area. 

A Natural Vortex is a co-creation with Mother Earth and a very positive sign in

the continual spiritual evolution and improvement of the Peacemaker's Sanctuary. A Natural Vortex responds to positive human intention--love, compassion, healing, altruism, prayer, ceremony.....

Meditating, praying or other positive acts are significantly improved when done within a vortex so I encourage you to visit and tap into its wonder and bounty.

Above is a picture of the bench. The Energy Vortex is located on the right side of the bench in the picture above and envelopes most of the bench. So sit on the right side, or Seneca River side.

Look for the words Peacemaker's Sanctuary on the name plate

I image that theEnergy Vortex formed during our Summer Solstice area as we ramped up the vibe. Originally a vortex had formed on the right hand side behind the bench; where the chair is in the previous picture.

Gossamer Wood--Reporters visit, New Stone Circles ---Sacred Sites Update

Bill Dewey, Janice Carr and I (Madis Senner) gave Mike Murphy of the Canandaigua Daily Messenger a tour of Gossamer Wood today ahead of our Open House this Saturday.

 Mike and Bill on the Lover's Trail looking ahead at the Pyramid of Time.

 Mike with recorder in hand interviewing Bill in the Welcome Circle. We put a temporary canopy up in the Welcome Circle ahead of the Open House this Saturday in case it rains.

 Janice and Mike chatting near the main bridge over the creek.

It's a Boy, No a Girl, No it's a Vortex Ring

Congrats to everyone that has worked on, fussed about, or meditated in the new Welcome Circle. A Vortex ring, a precursor to an Energy Vortex, or what I call a Natural Vortex has formed. A Vortex Ring is the final stage before a full blown Energy Vortex forms. Janice, Donna C. and I first built the Welcome Circle in November of 2016, Since then Bill, Donna L., Kareen, Jamie, John and Brooke have worked to spruce it up. Janice has spent a few hours meditating in it. One of our goals was to have a Natural Vortex form in it.

 I placed a circled of stones around the Vortex Ring to help nurse along and hasten the formation of an Energy Vortex.

 Kudo's to the Gossamer Keepers and Earth Healers. Thanks. This is what it is all about co-creating a new birth with our Mother.

 Bill has worked hard to clear the Spirit Keepers Circle. Since it is so huge and even though there are numerous meditative flat stones on the ground within it  I thought it would be nice to add a stone circle in the Spirit Keepers Circle.

A little elbow grease--clearing, meditating--has revealed a few larger flat stones in the ground in the Spirit Keepers' Circle..  Were these natural, or were they placed there thousands of years ago and earth has accumulated around them covering them up.

Spirit Keepers Energy Vortex Update--I first found this vortex in November of 2016 and it has a diameter of about 3-4 feet. Today it is easily 10 feet in diameter and is very potent. Look for the pink tape and a large stone between 2 trees within the Spirit Keeper's Circle.

Mike shot a video of me talking about and explaining the Energy Vortex in the Spirit Keepers Circle. Let's hope he posts it to their website.

Hope to see you all Saturday for what should be a wonderful and blessed day.

Blessings,
madis

Sacred Sites Update--Zoar Valley, Hiker Dies in fall from Gorge

Zoar Valley listed on pages 382-391 in Sacred Sites in North Star Country: Places in Greater New York State (PA,OH,NJ,CT,MA,VT,ONT) That Changed the World is a beautiful place with  awesome views and has some wonderful places to meditate and experience Mother Earth's Fields of Consciousness as I note. However it is also dangerous and mysterious and prone to water surges, bridge washouts and more. Walking to close to the edge at places such as Point Peter can be dangerous because the ground underneath may no longer be there and you may be walking on a thin overhang.

It was just reported that a hiker fell 70 feet to their death on a gorge. Hiker dies in 70-foot fall into upstate NY gorge.

As the Buffalo news wrote last month, At beautiful and dangerous Zoar Valley, a cautionary tale for hikers

By all means visit this wonderful and majestic place. But please heed the warnings in my book and make sure to check the water levels before you go. The Cattaragus Creek can be 2feet high and a few hours later be 4 or 5 feet high and flowing fast.

Sacred Sites Update---Gossamer Wood

Yesterday I worked on the Spirit Keepers Circle at Gossamer Wood, www.gossamerwood.org . 

The grounds are looking marvelous. Well Done to everyone involved with trail work.

 Looking towards the Entryway. The Welcome Circle is to the right.

 The Welcome Circle

The Nook

A Vortex Ring, a precursor to the formation of an Energy Vortex, has formed in the area of the Women's Circle.  It is directly above the spiral of the water dome in the ground--interesting. I created a temporary stone circle  to help nudge it along so that it will blossom into an Energy Vortex.

Sacred Site Update--Gossamer Wood

Several of us gathered at Gossamer Wood in Canandaigua, NY for Earth Healing and cleaning up and opening up the space this July 4th Wednesday. We are looking to raise money to buy it and turn it into a sacred preserve for all to enjoy. 

Since Bill Dewey sold his house in January we have had to put in new trails,  refashion older ones and heal the ones damaged by the weather. We have also made a big effort to clean, expand and make the property more friendly and accessible for pilgrims. Much of this year will be spent to make the grounds more accessible--AND OF COURSE JACK UP THE ALREADY INCREDIBLE VIBE.

Kareen and Bill inspecting a trail.

Wednesday was incredibly hot in the mid 90⚬'s I found some amazing things, from more energy vortices, sacred stones, more powerful features of Mother Earth...... I guess I should not be surprised...but more and more is being revealed.

Spirit Keeper's stone. Here I am standing next to a sacred stone, in front of me to the right--covered with moss. Looking at it seems like no big deal, however it marks the high point in a Field of Consciousness--an unbelievable Stacked 12 (S12.) An S12 is when 12 FOC's are placed upon each other; the highest formation and rare. 

Because of its placement strategically over the high point in the FOC one has to assume that it was intentionally placed there and whoever created it knew what they were doing.  I believe it was created by a mystical group very intimate with Mother Earth's subtle body that I call Spirit Keepers. Amazing. This was an incredible find and adds to the other S12 at Gossamer and has it moving closer to being in the rarified company of Onondaga Lake and its sacred space.

 I found a vortex ring close to the sacred stone on the S12 and decided to create a stone circle around it to act as a splint and nurse it back to health. (I discuss vortex rings on pages 52-56 of Vortices and Spirals.) A water vein also begins in this area. Another indication that prayer, meditation, ritual, healing and good and loving thoughts/acts occurred here. Thanks to the great souls that did this, we hope that we can honor your spirit by adding to it.

I constructed a short entryway to the S12 and Vortex Ring.

 Another Spirit Keepers stone. This one marks a S8. Another find--the stone and the FOC. There were also several Manitou Stones and other sacred stones in the area. That whole area  close to the creek is loaded with all sorts of wonders.

Janice meditating on the highpoint of a FOC. It is the prayers, meditations, rituals, healings that raise the vibe of a space. Basically it jacks it up and enhances it. Very Nice. 

In the spirit and knowledge of the Spirit Keepers I marked the high point of all the FOC with large flat stones. It is my experience that they would at a minimum mark the high points with a stone, or stone mound; they would also place other stones in the area. I plan on adding more stones to this sacred area, hopefully several hundred more over the next few years.

We could use more meditators. If all you want to do is meditate for hours on end in such sacred space, please comment below and leave your contact information which I will take down after I contact you.

There is a lot more I did not photograph such as a cistern with a water dome underneath it, several other FOC, Manitou Stones...

You can learn more and donate at, Gossamer Wood

PS. People have been meditating in the energy vortex, what I call a natural vortex,  in the Spirit Keeper's Stone Circle and it has gotten even stronger. Kareen, Bill and I could feel it 10-15 feet away as we approached it. WOW!

A medicine wheel Kareen and Donna put together near the woods by the entrance.
