February Newsletter
Hello, all!
We’re into February and are continuing to makes plans for later this year! We are filled with (cautious) optimism — looking to the fall with the hope of connecting in person. Our bookings for the end of 2021 are filling up fast, and we are looking forward to sharing our offerings with you all once we are ready to do so. If you or someone you know is interested in hosting a retreat at Hallelujah Farm, send us an email or check out our website for more information.
We are calling February our month of art and music. As the cold of winter continues on, we look and find warmth in what a wide variety of arts have to offer. We will be sharing a plethora of art and artists on our Facebook page throughout the month. We also want to encourage you to share art — whether it be visual, musical, written, etc. — with those around you. You may introduce someone to their new favorite artist!
We are going to continue our offerings of a weekly virtual meditation session on our Facebook page from 9 to 9:30 am on Saturday mornings. We also want to begin the process of building a writing community. Throughout the month, we will be sharing some writing prompts tied to the art we will be sharing and would love for you, in turn, to share any written work they inspire for you. If all goes as we hope it will, we will be holding an in-person writers retreat in the future. We hope that one (or more!) of these offerings sparks your interest and motivates you to join our community.
Another new element we are sharing is a playlist for the month. Based on our theme of art and music, we’ve gathered together a compilation of music for your (and our) enjoyment. Maybe you will hear something new, maybe you will revisit an old favorite!
Now, for a taste of Hallelujah Farm. This month we’re sharing a delicious, simple, vegetarian pasta dish from The New York Times: Creamy Chickpea Pasta. With Valentine’s Day this month, this would be an excellent, at-home date night recipe — impressive, yet un-fussy.
Before we sign off, we want to leave you with these words for thought: a quotation from Vincent Van Gogh.
Peace,
John and Leigh
PS. If you know of anyone who has stayed with us before, might want to be a part of this virtual community, or would want to host a retreat in the future, please pass this link along, so they can see the newsletter as well! The more, the merrier!
