The Healing Pond

Healing Pond The pond started out as a little “stream” running down from the House of the Springs. Horses used to water there. That was 30 years ago and things have changed. Smiling Bear built a dam to hold back the water, and a slew to bring water off the top of the dam and into the pond.

With the help of others to dig the hole, we now have a healing pond in the run of the stream that is fed by natural springs. Recently, during the bountiful ceremony of the Tingan Tree, the beauty and power of the healing water was experienced. We thank Mother Nature as we work to keep the waters pure. We are truly gifted to be stewards of this sacred space. We enjoy and honor this gift. Mother Nature is in charge, and she can always use a little help.

Stained Glass Classes: Loki is officially leaving the Columbia Art Center effective December 2011.

Loki is actively trying to get the Shop/aka Glass Studio, up and running at Sanctuary. Private daytime lessons are being offered.

Beginner Level classes have been on-going for two semesters now and all students have been totally satisfied. The weather will be a factor but Loki is optimistic that all is well and unfolding…..

A seven week course is being offered after Thanksgiving. Fee for seven weeks is $175. All supplies to do the work are on hand but the students will need to buy their own solder (about $13 per pound roll) and some may want to get a new personal glass cutter. Scrap glass is available in limited quantities for the small fee of $3 per pound.

Continuing students (those who have the basics of working in stained glass) is now called Open Studio Nite. There is space for 4 students plus a visit from Loki. Prior registration each nite is required so we don't end up with too many people at one time. Open Studio is not a class with steps of instruction, rather it is a friendly, open space to work with others of similar interest and "advice and hands on help" from Loki if needed and requested. This Open Studio is on a "love offering" basis. Usually $20 per nite per person will cover it. Studio is open on Mondays from 6:30 PM till 9 PM.
