Christine Mitton

Christine came to visit WHF for the first time in November of 2010 for a program. She described her love of the land and appreciation of the stewardship. Here is a excerpt from her letter.

“I am so grateful that a place such as this exists and is protected by all that love the land. Thank you for this. As I explored some of the woods and sat by the brook I felt such joy and love in my heart.”

This inexplicable space that occurs in the forest is echoed by many of the letters I have received. Christine also commented on the kind host, Steve, and the fantastic food.

“I have been telling many people about Windhorse as it deserves to be shared. I am planning to return in the Spring for a private retreat. Those little cabins are delightful!”

 

Vickie Gray

Vickie wrote to me after returning from a group retreat at WHF. Her snapshot was inspired by a night walk led by Jim. Here is her beautiful description. “The snow was crystalline, clouds drifted past a basket moon, and the walk took us on a metaphorical journey in darkness from the safety of a bonfire to the unfamiliarity of a wooded path past a river that we knew was there only by its sound, into a wide open field of possibility, and then through a difficult gate back into dark woods and finally home. The walk became a metaphor for the journey the organization was going through, and enriched our work together.”
