Welcome to Moon Shadow's Grounding Programs
~ We are temporarily closed at the moment ~
Stressed? Looking for something different?
Maybe something softer, quieter, more contemplative?
Come and enjoy the experiences of our Grounding Programs.
Many are interwoven with each other, with the wilds of nature,
and provide a healthier, more sustainable option
for the heart, mind and body.
Our programs offer the chance to work with and learn
about each activity's significance and benefits,
and how the 'groundings' fit into the wellbeing of your life
and the Living Community's life as well.
L.O.V.E. Pathways
L.O.V.E. stands for
"Light On Verdant Earth"
because, while the land is not always green, 'verdant' is part of the seasonal cycle.
Among the LOVE Pathways
will be examples and displays of our guild projects and small, food forest co-creations benefiting both people and wildlife.
Zone creation is based on permaculture design principles and practices.
These pathways will be developed by taking advantage of the trails already established by the local wildlife and expanding their widths about 3 to 4 feet
in order to make them
universally accessible.
They are not created yet,
though will be in 2026-2027
and ongoing.

Sharing
HOPE
This program stars the
"Sharing HOPE" cards
This concept originally began
in 2023 by one of our Founders and is an ongoing project that Moon Shadow has adopted.
It consists of a business sized card with an original hand-drawn
HOPE "zen doodle" drawing
on one side and an original poem pinned by William "Billy" Hoover (back in September of 1988)
on the other side of the card.
These cards are randomly given (for free) to share hope with others who might need a little HOPE
in their lives at the moment.
The sharing becomes
like little seeds planted
with the potential to grow
into something beautiful and magnificent, no matter where
they might be scattered.

Meditation
Labyrinth
The Meditation Labyrinth
will also incorporate demonstrations of
guild building projects
along with small, food forestry practices beneficial
to both people and wildlife.
The LOVE Pathways will wind through portions of the Labyrinth in various places.
The Labyrinth will be
universally accessible as well
and planted with low, fragrant ground cover.
The Labyrinth is not created yet,
though will be in 2026-2027
and ongoing.
