Below are some Articles written for our VOH participants and links of individuals, teachings and places that we feel will enhance and add to your own Spiritual work. Think of these sites as links through which the Light of the Divine shows brightly.
I know this move back to God’s Country, where the melting mountain snow fills the streams and rivers and turns the winter landscape into nature’s new growth and beauty is soul-filling. With the new growth of flowers and blooming of trees come the butterflies, beetles, and bees collecting pollen; the goldfinch and other birds will eat the seeds of nature’s bounty. Just as nature is reborn, we feel a rebirth within and healing takes place. The human soul is hungry for beauty in nature, gardening/landscaping, and personally through companionship, love and religion. Thus, this will teach us patience, trust and assist in the healing process of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
When developing a garden, considered it to be your “Healing Garden”. Often hospitals and healthcare facilities creat a Healing Garden where patients, their family and staff may visit. It is the setting and environment which promote the healing because the human soul finds the beauty in nature engrossing and soothing. By creating your own “Healing Garden” you are taking steps in developing a natural setting for you to Meditate and promote Healing within.
The more time you spend outside the more, your mood will improve. The stress, depression and anxiousness will change one into a more calm more positive being.
“Nature is also fundamentally linked to our human spirituality. Out in nature, we feel how we are connected to entities beyond ourselves and understand our interdependencies with other living beings. Nature also prompts us to reflect on the ever-changing nature of existence and what might lie beyond it. Nature provides a space in which we can connect spiritually both with ourselves and outside ourselves.”

“ Taking Charge Of Your Health and Well-being” by Clare Cooper Marcus and Marni Barnes
I have taken my first step in developing my gardens here on Grand Manan. In a short time I hope to have a Meditation and Healing Garden. On my daily walks, with my canine family, I am on a Meditation and Healing venture with the surrounding forest and Bay Of Fundy Sea scape.
