Yes, it’s time once more to engage with the Earth in the manner of Andy Goldsworthy, finding form in the precise arrangement of natural materials. Certainly, we will resume our work with bluestone rubble in the abandoned stone quarry. The endlessly graceful shapes of the river rocks in West Handsome Brook seem to ask for composition. It’s likely that the massed goldenrod yellow of the mazyrinth will be at its zenith on this weekend.

Participants should arrive Friday night so that activity can get fully underway Saturday morning. There are a few beds available in the farmhouse, three in the shed, three in the cabin, probably one each in the wall tent and the dome tent. Of course, camping space is unlimited. Please communicate your needs and desires to the organizers.

Food will be, as always, a central concern: possibly Korean grilled chicken, Ukrainian borscht, barbecue from the smokehouse, traditional Hunan cold noodles, tomatoes and the world’s best sweet corn from Covered Bridge Farm .
