Ashville, N.C., this workshop will include classroom instruction as well
as hands-on experience. During this week, we will stack the bales and
apply the first coat of mud on a small hermitage at Turtle Rock Farm. <br>
<br>
We will be using clay found on the farm, as well as straw bales from last
year's wheat harvest.<br>
<br>
For those who want a shorter workshop, Molly and Steve will lead a
Straw-Bale Introduction class from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, 6 June, which
week-long participants will also join. Fee for the Sunday afternoon
workshop only is $25. <br>
<br>
Not only educational about natural building methods, this workshop will
help build community - and be a whole lot of fun! Participants will be
lodged at one of the houses at Turtle Rock Farm, in a tipi or may camp
out. Meals will be provided by Turtle Rock Farm staff and shared by the
community. <br>
<br>
Fee for the week of instruction, lodging and meals is $425. Couples, $375
each. Instruction, meals and camping, $375. Deposit to hold your
space is $150. Spaces for this retreat will be limited. For more

pictures tell the story, really. April has been a sweet month, as
everything burst into bloom and began to grow at once. It's lush and
green - a striking contrast to the gray days of winter and the late-March
blizzard. Rabbit, kittens and keets are already twice the size they were
just weeks ago. Well, the keets have quadrupled in size! Honey bees are
gorging on the blossoms and we have apricots - the first time in several
years they didn't freeze. <br>
<br>
Visitors from as far away as North Carolina have come to the farm and
we've been especially busy with the building of our straw-bale hermitage.
It's been great to work with the foundation crew and the carpenters, all
who come stay here the days they are working. Turns out, the carpenters
are all musicians too. So, we've even had jam sessions with fiddle,
stand-up bass, guitar and piano.<br>
<br>
Our intern Jae Clewell is a delight to work with. She's been learning
about many things, including shearing Alpaca, building hives for honey
bees, raising Guineas, feeding chickens. She attended the state
beekeeping convention with Ann, helped Pat with the monthly monitoring of
Doe Creek and has improved our granola recipe, learned how to bake a
couple different kinds of bread as well as a delicious Carmelized Onion
Tart. Of course, she's also helped us with more tedious, but necessary,
chores, like weeding.</span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;

Besides the greening, we are warming and May looks to be a beautiful
time. There will be two new offerings this month - the raw foods portion
of the Yoga Retreat and later in the month - May 22 - our first Labyrinth
Retreat. We're mowing a large labyrinth right in the prairie, up on the
hill overlooking the big pond. We think it's the perfect site and look
forward to sharing this way of meditation with our guests for years to
come.<br>
<br>
Of course, the work on the hermitage will continue, as we prepare for the
big week in June when guests will come learn how to build with hay bales
and stucco. We are very excited to be engaged in this process with Tom
Temple, Steve Kemble, Mollie Currie and all those who have registered for
the workshop. There are still some spaces available. We've also added a
contra dance to the opening festivities. See the notice above for
details. We are so glad we can offer this important education here at
Turtle Rock Farm and are expecting this to be a very meaningful event.<br>
<br>
Looking even further into June, we are happy to announce that Cherokee
Basket Weaver Renee Hoover will be joining us for the Prairie Retreat.
Renee's baskets are exquisite and so is her gift of sharing this
reflective, spiritual practice with others. We are grateful that she is
able to bring her Native American practices to our weekend of
experiencing a prairie eco-system. <br>
<br>
We are grateful for the community that is developing around the work here
at Turtle Rock Farm: the wisdom of our board members, the energy and
interest of our young intern, the courage and inspiration of master
builders, the depth of understanding of people who bring their knowledge
about ancient sustainable practices, the animals and birds who teach us,
and, most certainly, the guests who come here to re-connect and learn and
share their commitment to and care for this beautiful planet. <br>
<br>
In beauty and peace,<br>

day and build one or the other. With a growing awareness of the value to
our health and the health of the planet, more and more people are growing

compost, you'll get information about growing vegetables and composting.

native prairie, part of The Great Plains. This retreat will take us back to
the prairie, where we can learn about its history (from its ancient beginnings
as an ocean, as hunting ground for Native Americans, as home for pioneer
families and modern farming and ranching) and its ecosystem. We will spend
time on the prairie noticing the grasses, birds and wildlife - the prairie
community. Too, we will take a "cosmic walk" and Cherokee basket
maker Renee Hoover, will teach us how to make a basket the Cherokee way.<br>
<br>
And we will come away, having experienced more intimately the prairie
ecosystem of which we are a part, with the wisdom that only the prairie can
offer and a deeper understanding of how to live in harmony with God's good
creation.<br>
<br>
This is an overnight retreat, beginning Friday evening at 7 p.m.. You are
welcome to bring a tent and camp out on the prairie. </span><span

Hopkins has written the most thorough description so far of how we get from
the present chaos of cities and towns that are killing the planet and the
people in them, to viable new ecologically sustainable urban and rural
systems. This is more than a theoretical how-to manual; it is based on his
own team's ground-breaking work, engaging whole communities in a
transformative process that accepts the crucial need to reverse course, and
has succeeded in doing so. The book is a great guide for how we must live
in a future world where the limits of nature are honoured, but so are the
basic comforts and joys of communities coming together in a great common
cause. There is no more important book than this one for any community
seeking change toward ecological sustainability."<br>

you for your hospitality and your spirit of love and grace. May the Lord
continue to call hearts apart to rest in this place." -- Ursula L.<br>
<br>
"Awakened to a world washed clean from thundershowers. The birds are
cheerful and greet us with morning song. A lovely retreat to enjoy the
wonders of creation! My only sadness - it was much too brief. Eager to
return." -- Shelley R.<br>
<br>
"Thank you so much for your hospitality and generosity. Our kids had
such a blast feeding the animals and using the kayaks and canoe. The fresh
eggs were delicious and your home was so cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed
being out in nature and being together as a family. The kids LOVED it
all!" -- Lisa, Madi and Christian<br>
<br>
"Thank you for these great times of our lives. I'm sure we'll come
back soon." -- Bethany<br>
<br>
"Thank you so very much for giving us this amazing opportunity. Our
children have experienced such wonderful, memorable things that we will
cherish for a lifetime. What a beautiful home and farm. Thank you so much
for sharing it with us." --Dana, Evan, Bethany and Olivia<br>
<br>
"A blizzard on the first day of spring. I should be worried about
getting home, but I can't find it in myself. There's such peace here. Thank
you for a quiet place to rest with God." -- Sara Marie Bodenstein<br>
<br>
"We came for a gardening workshop and found so much more. We treasured
our time here due to the incredible scenery and lovely people. We felt
welcomed and at home. These days helped us rekindle our love and commitment
to Earth. Thank you for sharing your land, passion and talents." --
Wendy<br>
<br>
"This retreat is a great idea. Women who are military can get together
to bond, share their stories and life with others who have the same
experience. It is a 'happy' place." -- J<br>
<br>
"I almost didn't come. Today was the anniversary of my son's death. I
really wanted to stay home. It's easier feeling depressed and sorry for
myself if I'm at home. But being here with this group let me see there are
people out there who really care and I'm not alone. Thank you so much for
everything and for your time and support." -- Vickie Lykins<br>
<br>
"A good retreat for women veterans. A place to let your hair
down." -- Sandy<br>
<br>
"Just knowing we, the women of the United States military are not
alone is beautiful. Thank you to Turtle Rock." </span></b><b><span

but a rock-bottom staple of a healthy life. We need retreat as surely as we
need oxygen or protein. While any given retreat may start out as a joyride

loosen one's belt, kick up one's heels - it always winds up as a

How does one 'do' a Retreat?</span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#6D853B'><br>
<br>
A "retreat" at Turtle Rock Farm is a chance to get away into the
quiet and beauty of the prairie. But not everyone is used to the quiet and
find the idea a bit intimidating, even if they know they long for it. <br>
A retreat can be a time when you sleep, listen to music, read, walk, visit,
play musical instruments, do art, bask in silence, get a therapeutic
massage, sit in a rocking chair on the porch, visit with a spiritual
director, explore nature...alone, with friends, family. <br>
<br>
It can be what you need and what you want it to be. We are happy to guide
and assist, or give you solitude.<br>
