Four Winds Story Dawns (Images below)

An inspirational family gathering space around the fire that brings your own stories to life!  This nature-inspired yurt features a homing nest for the littles and the young at heart to play, stay, connect, and be inspired.  We enter from the east opening, with a clear view out the doorway to the shimmering sunrise.  On the west side, there's a place for the resident yogi or reiki guru to settle into lotus while greeting the morning star.  Maybe it's Mom's place to host her women's circle for tea or book club.  Or Dad's place to get his head and heart clear while strumming his guitar. The kids remove their shoes, book bags, and electronic gadgets at the entry, and tell their story dreams to the elders, while the meaning "dawns on them" at sunrise.  At night, the gentle glow of the fire lulls everyone to stillness, tucking them into the warmth of the family embrace. The clean-burning fire cleanses residual anxiety, grudges, or fears while stoking the imagination and offering clarity.  To the north, we find a bubbling fountain, aqua therapy for gentle relaxation and contemplation.  Take a seat and create some nature-inspired haiku or a love song for the planet.  Practice tai chi or qi gong while casting your gaze on the south side, where the littles have planted seeds for what they hope to see growing - patience, kindness, courage, hope, and joy.  Wherever you look in this lovely soulscape, you find an invitation for play, rest, and dreams.  What story will you tell around the fire?
