My school LightSong School of Shamanic Studies loves to have our workshops and classes at this amazing facility.
Still Meadow brings up feeling of love for me. The staff, the land, the buildings, and the energy are wonderful. I feel as though it is my second home I am there so much, either presenting workshops or attending them. I look forward to all the wonderful things to come and I hold in captured memories the great moments already shared.
