Environmental & Spiritual Centers
Commentary by Connie Barlow and Michael DowdConnie at the offices of What Is Enlightenment? magazine, Lenox MA.
Our Great Story road tour took us to 9 environmental/nature centers, 10 spiritual centers, and 1 peace group during our second year of travel. Programs varied widely in these events, but one of the 4 different versions of Connie's "Coming Home to North America" rituals was always a favorite (see images below).
At some spiritual retreat centers notably Camp Indralaya on Orcas Island in Puget Sound, The Well near Newport News in Virginia, Impersonal Enlightenment Fellowship in Lenox MA, and EarthNest near Alamosa CO we were housed for additional retreat time, too, thus giving us the opportunity to create new materials for future programs.
