Summer is sweet at the ecovillage, sunshine and birdsong greet the ecovillagers in the morning. Projects are being done at the ecovillage to make the most of the season, bringing the summer light to the places that need it, including the ecovillagers themselves who often bask in the rays and under solar showers.
The deck in the morning greets ecovillagers with it's seasonal beauty. Lightwork moving meditation is done on the deck in the morning. Movement is a welcome way to wake up when days are spent doing physical labour, and the glory of a morning meditation is splendid indeed.
