Earth Heart Sanctuary

 

Brooke and Sunny are happy to share with you the continuing creation of Earth Heart Wild Life Sanctuary and FlowerSong Gardens, where we have beautiful retreat space to welcome you. The land is set aside as an active demonstration of living in close relationship with Nature, and for the creation of a lifestyle that the Earth can sustain for generations to come. This beautiful land is hidden away in the remote mountains of SW Montana, with a pristine stream flowing through the property. Lush forest and open meadows are there to enjoy, as well as a 200-foot waterfall up Moose Creek and a recreation lake nearby! In the vicinity is a natural hot spring. Our greenhouse is now burgeoning with wonderful organic food, our outside garden beds are full and growing, and flowers blossom everywhere around the house and in the meadows.

We have completed a 36' studio/greenhouse, where there will be bathing facilities and kitchen. The creek also offers a wonderful, swirling bathing pool. Shelters now available are tipi, small tents, (you can also provide your own larger tent), and the gypsy wagon. We are cutting lodgepole pine to clear space for a simple village where several kinds of natural housing, including log cabins, will be made.

        Because the creation of this sustainable lifestyle is a powerful part of what we can share and teach, you are invited to come and work with us on all our projects:
*work study (If you have more time, skills and energy than $$, you can work on Earth Heart projects) Meals with us based on a sliding scale.
*apprenticeships are available and will be arranged according to yours and our needs.

VISION QUEST

    Although a short visioning time is often included in a normal retreat time at Earth Heart, A more formal series of 4 longer vision quests, done in succeeding years (or seasons), can be arranged. These will require personal consultation time before and after your time at Earth Heart, as well as specific kinds of preparation for the fasting, alone time, and intensity of these experiences.
    You can arrange a consultation time to talk about this kind powerful spiritual journey with Brooke. She will be glad to support you in a process that has been very powerful in her own life, and is a traditional native way of spiritual deepening and development.
 
 SMALL GROUP RETREATS with mutual focus; planned individually.

    Get together a small group of your spiritual circle, your family, your friends or associates, and come together to Earth Heart for a wonderful time of learning and deepening together. We can create something to match your needs and pleasure.

It will be a joy for Brooke and Sunny to support and serve you in this way.

Examples:
        Women's circle learning to live more simple, deal with stress, keep spirit alive in their daily experience, learn to support each other in the process, and have a wonderful time together.
        Men's group interested in learning to create a more graceful life for themselves and their families, who want to go into the wilderness together. Sunny takes them on a powerful, challenging, rich time of  deepening their sharing with each other, and  learning about simple living, better relationship with their partners, and aboriginal skills.
        A group who work together come to have less stressed time to relax, enjoy getting to know each other more deeply and personally, and to vision a new way of making their business work.
