Greetings Friends! Seems the entries of late focus on work. The last one before this, was an inquiry as to whether anyone has a good lead on someone to hire for garden tasks at Turtle Haven. I really did not get much response, to be truthful. The opening is still there! So this time, I invite you and anyone you know who might be inclined, to come and offer your labor as one of love for the beauty of Turtle Haven, and in service to this place of community gathering. Wouldn’t you rather work just as an offering? On May 20th we will gather in the afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30 pm at Turtle Haven to do some forest clean up, continuing on from last year’s storm clean up, as we gradually work towards restoration, after the devastating winter of 2017. Jillian and I held a work party last year, and were deeply touched by the many who contributed with such generosity of spirit. Please consider coming to this year’s edition, and connect with community in the bringing of beauty and restoration to the land whose spirit brings much nourishment to those who gather here. And there will be good snacks too! Please let me know if you would like more details. There will be tasks gentle and vigorous.

We are looking for someone who may be interested in working in our gardens, doing weeding and other garden tasks! We are open to trade, and this could include for yoga classes, counseling, mentoring, and/or for a stay in the Forest Hermitage for a retreat. We will also be glad to pay money for gardening tasks. Please let me know if you are aware of someone who might enjoy this very part time work on our land, and who you imagine may be a good fit with the vision of this beautiful place. Or perhaps you yourself have time and interest! Please respond by email to elizabethkerwinyoga@gmail.com or 360-303-3892. 
Tomorrow April 11th begins the Spring Quarterfor the Wednesday class series, and I will be in Vancouver BC for an evening performance, so Charlotte will initiate the new quarter! Please come and enjoy her wonderful teaching, and I will look forward to seeing those who come to Wednesday evening yoga at Turtle Haven next week!
On another note, next Tuesday, April 17th, after the morning yoga class, those who wish to join in, are welcome to come to The Forest Hermitage for tea and a tour– and just enjoying one another’s company! We will organize to walk or drive down to the VERY nearby retreat house just after class. There is a rumor of crumpets perhaps appearing! Wednesday students who are available are of course welcome to join us.
Greetings!
The remaining classes for the quarter are winding down, and I nearly have a flyer for Spring; when it is ready, I will publish it, but for the moment wanting to let everyone know that the Wednesday classes meet March 14th, 21st, and 28th. Charlotte subs for me on the 21st! The Tuesday class has its final meeting for Winter on the 27th of March. Spring quarter begins April 10th.
I pointed out Krista Tippett’s blog in the Tuesday class, and said I would put the link on my blog! Here it is, with a short description from the website:
ON BEING WITH KRISTA TIPPETT
At this time, late Sunday night, I just drove down our beloved Rutsatz Road, and there is still snow; it is not deep, but for those who are particularly cautious, and don’t have snow worthy vehicle, there might be concern. I am planning to teach both classes this week, unless the conditions worsen to a worrisome degree. I would of course post here, if that were to transpire. In the meanwhile, I wanted to mention the snow on the road for any who might want to ask a classmate with a snow worthy vehicle for a ride. 
Please note in your calendars the revised schedule for Winter Quarter. The list of ALL class dates below shows the 10 sessions for the entire quarter! I hope this is clarifying, and not inconvenient. Thanks for your understanding.
Tuesday Classes: 1/9, 1/16, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13, 2/20, 2/27, 3/6, 3/13, 3/27
