It seemed like a perfect time to post about Noel. He a friend, family and teacher at Windhorse Farm. In his frequent visits to WHF, he has made cob walls for the inside of the Pavillion, led meditation in Juniper lodge , made cider with his classes from the Shambhala School and chased laughing children though gardens and forests. He has recentlty been made an Acharaya, or senior teacher, in the Shambhala Community and will continue to teach on Culture and Leaderhip, Shambhala Traditions and Meditation.
I liked him so much I married him!
Here are some of Noel’s thoughts about Windhorse Farm,
“For me, Windhorse Farm represents a connection to “place” in the deepest sense. There are some spots on the earth where one feels like more than a visitor. One develops a feeling of one’s body being made up of the place. This is quite literal, if you’re eating food grown there and your babies are born there. But also one’s being is somehow knit into the place on an energetic level that you can’t really describe. At the same time it’s not quite homey– it’s really a farm, so after the vacation feeling wears off there’s this rugged, elemental, hardworking quality that brings you down to earth. It’s a healing and uplifting place to be, and it speaks for itself.”
