Another warm winter week here at the Hostel. The clouds at the beginning of the week, providing our gardens with a satisfied glow, gave way to plenty of sunshine for them to blossom and fill out even more so. Our baby goats are still cute lil fluff balls and are beginning to grow curious of people.

The workshop weekend was a a chill one, with a morning Yoga session led by Kara Smith, and again some garden work done in the afternoon. The highlight of this weekend was a workshop led by Murray out at the lake garden. With a donation to the Hostel we have built a brand new solar water pump, enabling us to water our gardens with water from our own lake. Murray led the very first work shop for the pump. We are excited with the new edition and hope you guys can come check it out sometime.

On another note we were sad to say our goodbyes this week to a beloved staff member Luke. We did give him one heck of a going away shindig though, and we wish him well on his journey. We would all like to say thank you to Luke and for all that he has done here with us in the Forest. Holiday wishes, stay well, and may the forest be with you…

We will be having a pot luck Christmass dinner at the Hostel on the 25th. Please bring a dish and join us for a festive holiday gathering.
